Review of The Maestro Monologue
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Maestro Monologue" by Rob White.]
The Maestro Monologue by Rob White challenges us to change for the better. It doesn’t use any weaponry, radical speeches, or complex political philosophies. Instead, it points at us as the unique individuals that we are and challenge us to look deeper into ourselves and our psyche, find what we are, what stands in our way to become our desired version of ourselves and use this written inspiration to improve our lives and in the broader spectrum also lives of our surrounding.
My opinion is that people are mirrors and naturally as well as subconsciously repeat what they see in front of them. Therefore, the book aligns with my personal beliefs and in my biased way of thinking has the potential to become the change we want to see in other people and in society as a whole, because that change starts with us.
The author is guiding us throughout the book in a consistent, comprehensible and the most importantly, inclusive way. The book is at times offering to journal our own journey and moving along. Thus, when the book talks about progress in our attitude, we can keep up and feel it as well, since we’ve been directly involved. It’s funny how this book has in its title "Monologue", and understandably so, but I felt like I was actively communicating with this piece of work.
I also appreciate the diversity of stories, quotations, and metaphors along this journey. Thanks to them I never felt bored and tried to get to the next chapter immediately. However, the author strictly emphasized, it was important to think about the content, think about our answers to his questions, and meditate upon the themes in the stories.
While I enjoyed the experience very much, I found the process a little too meticulous, because it contained the author’s own phrases and abbreviations that I sometimes couldn’t keep up with. Mainly because they were quite similar, and even though I recognized it later, it took me a while and I had to start sentences all over again to understand the content. What is more, the book is aimed at all people of the world; so even though the book didn’t show strong support for Christianity, it had multiple quotes from them, some of which I would rather have replaced by a few examples from other holy books from around the world. For instance, Quran or Ramayana would make more people around the world included.
I’m giving this inspirational work 4 out of 4 stars. I definitely went through the book smoothly and felt better after finishing it, which was the whole point of it, and the author managed to write it marvelously. I found a few errors, but they were scarce, so I didn’t really mind.
I would recommend this book to literally everyone. Children can read it, too, if they don’t find it dull or complicated. The idea that someone would say to me while I was little “You are a marvelous child of infinite intelligence” would certainly lift my spirits and help me with my school life.
