Review
The book is about finding out what is truly important to your real spiritual self rather than being inundated with material possessions. Michelle Yeoh (Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon) A captivating story that teaches as it delights. Paulo Coelho [Its] principles have been fascinating and there were shared principles from writers such as Robin Sharma and Deepak Chopra. How does all that impact on a game of rugby? I can't answer that. All I know is it's enough to help me to proceed in a way that makes me happy enough to go out there and be proud of who I am and what I hope I can bring to this team.
