Review of The Maestro Monologue
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Maestro Monologue" by Rob White.]
At times the hardships of life can become overwhelming, and we find ourselves demotivated and unable to move forward. It is at times like this that many people turn to self-help books. The Maestro Monologue by Rob White is the type of book one turns to when in need of a confidence boost.
As children, we all had uncapped confidence, however, things changed. As we grow older, we are molded by all the traumatic experiences that life brings. The inability to let go of the past makes it difficult to lead productive lives. The author explains that by reading this book, the reader has already taken the first step towards taking back control of their lives. From whom are taking back control? Well, it's time to hear all about what the book calls, "the intruder". On page 8, we find the following words, "This intruder is an unwanted mental houseguest that stops you from conducting your daily affairs fruitfully". In fact, the prologue is titled "Beware of the intruder". The book is divided into four parts, each containing several chapters. Each chapter is designed to get you to introspect and decipher the changes you need to make.
Chapter 16 was my favorite chapter. In it, we find personal stories of people who were able to let go of past failures. Testimonials from people who have successfully utilized the book's suggestions are a great way to keep the reader engaged. The writing style makes you feel like the author is looking directly into your eyes and revealing profound truths about yourself. The book stimulated in me, a long overdue introspection. The book is easy to read. It has a natural flow that is easy to follow. It was very well edited, as I noted no major grammatical errors.
The author uses a lot of repetition. He explains that he uses repetition to cement the words in the reader's mind. I did not appreciate the repetitive aspect of the book, I found it a tad annoying. At times, the language made me feel like I was being inducted into joining a cult. The notion that I had been doing life wrong and reading this book is what would change my life forever, sounded very culty to me.
Overall, this was an unexpectedly good book. The author offers a lot of useful advice that many would find beneficial. This moves me to give it a perfect rating. I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. The book does not contain any profanity or sexual content. I would recommend it to anyone, young or old, who feels stuck and needs some motivation. If you are easily susceptible to charismatic cult leaders, maybe stay away from this one.
