The Maestro Monologue is a nonfictional motivation book about awakening one's inner abilities to deal with life and improving one's way of perceiving oneself and others in general. It answers some of the questions people often ask themselves, such as "What if I changed my perspective on how I view things? Would it make a difference?" The "Maestro" is the individual self, being taken on a journey within one's as a self-tour.

Rob White did a great job exploring different circumstances that people face, and in one way or another, they end up losing their authentic selves due to self-doubt and other factors that you would know if you took time with the book. One thing that stood out in this book from other motivational books is that the author doesn't base his own experiences as the standard to overcoming self-defeating habits, but his explanations cut across possible ways and a wide range of solutions for one to choose.

I mostly like that the book is written in simple English with minimal bombastic words that interfere with reading. Another thing I enjoyed is the fact that the book is written in a way that speaks directly to the person reading it. It doesn't sound like he's talking to someone else but you, the direct reader. It felt like a journey I was on with myself and the author guiding me as I discovered my inner strength.

I wouldn't say I liked the book entirely because it is slow-paced, and I found myself zoning out once in a while as I was reading it. Though the book requires patience to understand and benefit fully, some information was repetitive, and this was due to over-explaining a point and a lot of unnecessary details; I guess that was the author's way of contributing to the plot, but I was not too fond of it.

I recommend The Maestro Monologue to people who are going through their spiritual awakening or those doing soul searching. A younger audience might find this book boring due to the slow-paced attribute, but those with patience would still enjoy the book. I am confident that the book is professionally edited due to the minimal errors, but the flow was not interrupted. There are no striking profanities in the book or improper language usage that would hinder a reader from enjoying this book. Due to all these positive aspects, I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars for it deserves it.
