Review of The Maestro Monologue
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Maestro Monologue" by Rob White.]
Fear, doubt, inferiority and so on, are some of the shortcomings we have as humans, but how we deal with them determines whether we would conquer or not. The Maestro Monologue by Rob White is a self-help book that teaches us how to be masters of ourselves and our mindsets. In this book, we are introduced to the intruder and the maestro within us. The intruder is that unwanted guest in your mental space that always leaves you complacent, doubtful or fearful. The maestro, on the other hand, is who you are at your finest moments. While most of us succumb to the intruder, only a few people give the maestro full control, which is what this book is designed to help us do.
This book takes us through the damage the intruder does in an individual, this damage comes as a result of the build-up of negativities we have experienced in the course of our lives, and those we tell ourselves. The author also shows us how we can turn what we view as mistakes to our advantage. For instance, we were told that rather than see mistakes as errors and keep feeling sorry for ourselves, we could see them as miss-takes. Meaning that we can always have another take at whatever we are trying to achieve.
One thing I enjoyed about this book is that it involves quick exercises that one can engage in while reading, which in turn makes it look like one is under the tutelage of a teacher. I like the fact that this book not only tells you what to do, but it shows you what to do and carries you along. I loved how the author also used stories to drive his points home. This made the book interesting and engaging.
Another thing I noticed was how the author was able to express himself in simple terms, which I believe made this book easy to understand and assimilate. This is one of the things I enjoyed about it, and I believe a layman can pick it up and understand it perfectly. I also liked the glossary of unusual words included at the end of this book, which goes to show how thoughtful and considerate the author is.
It is really hard to find anything wrong with a good book like this because it is filled with helpful tips, motivational quotes and so many noteworthy nuggets. Which is safe to say that I could not find anything that I did not like about it.
I am sure it was professionally edited because it is void of errors, which I think contributed to the seamless reading experience I had. For this reason, I am rating it four out of four stars. This book is suitable for anyone who is tired of the status quo and is ready for a mindset shift. I will gladly recommend it to both young and old.
