The Greatest Secret Book by Rhonda Byrne- Outer cover of the book

If you abide in this state of acceptance, you create no more negativity, no more suffering, no more unhappiness. You then live in a state of nonresistance, a state of grace and lightness, free of struggle.

Eckhart Tolle, from The Power of Now

This is one of the listed quotes in the book which grabbed my attention and increased my interest more to understand the deep meaning.

I have read all the books by Ronda B. Her first book “Secret” in 2006 was a great hit and one of the most inspiring books as well. I have been waiting for the greatest Secret as apparently, it is also one of the prestigious works done by Ronda.

The look of the book is amazing and it will melt your heart to buy it. Extra beautiful design with engravings and the calligraphy texts. If you believe in Positive energies around you then this book is for you. If you have trust in the inner voice then this book is for you.

This book is more of a mixture of ideas and thoughts from The Secret and The Power. It has 256 pages total (although, the last 20 of them are about the Teachers featured). The book has several quotes from famous authors and teachers. At the end of every chapter, you will find the summary for the quick run.

Reading the greatest secret is a treat to your eyes. It has a beautiful cover that will never let you touch it while eating:-). Its beauty adds more value to its words and concept. From the beginning itself, it will engross you in the content. Trust me if you have faith in Inner strength, positivity, and external supreme power you will going to like this book. I am a big fan of Rhonda’s books and they all have great learning for me and I am still learning from them.

“I found a joy within me that has never disappeared, not for a single moment. That joy is in everyone, always.”

Byron Katie, from A Thousand Names for joy

The Greatest Secret is full of amazing quotes from various other authors as well. It will help you to connect more with the book as it has various discussions by profound writers and life coaches.

Summary:

President of Jagran Prakashan Ltd., Apurva Purohit, is an Indian Businesswoman who wrote this great book about the life of the women and their various experiences in phases of life.

Through her corporate world, understanding and her experience of working in a media field bring many colors to this book.
Nowadays, it is tough for a woman to compromise on any [part of life, whether it is a career or her personal life. She is ready to deal with every crisis. This book brings loads of moments where you will feel like “Ohh my god thatā€™s me or has she written about me šŸ˜Š”.

The best part of the book was the short tales she used as her style, which brings the message at the end in the form of humor and reality. She bought her own personal experiences and mentioned about her family members.

This book of her can be a medium of learning the corporate mantra for the women through a Woman.

Review:

Today’s woman is unstoppable and they want to win all the fronts of their life. Being a working woman myself and a mother of a kid, I found myself in a situation several times when I have to struggle between personal and professional choices and decide to prioritize between Husband, Kid or work. The Responsibility of dealing with never-ending deadlines, preoccupied husband, Challenging bosses, Stubborn kids, nosy colleagues, and equally demanding in-laws can be crushing several times. Any working mom can relate to this book quickly. You will not find anything new and extraordinary in this book, but whatever incidences and events mentioned in it can be easily relatable with your own life. The book goes witty from time to time, and I am sure no one can stop laughing with watery eyes.

I have summarized a few marvelous points from the book for my reference but want to mention here as well:

  • Accept your femininity the way it is. No matter what people say, be confident, and accept the way you are. 
  • Dream big and high, but be prepared that you cannot achieve everything in one go. Everything takes its own time and never loses hope and confidence. , you can have it, but not all at the same time.
  • A woman can only understand the charm of multitasking because they are born to do multitask and end up doing more work.
  • Every woman faces a phase in their life when they have to take a break from their career to raise a responsible human being for society. Cherish it and wear it as a crown as no one else can do it better than you.
  • Women grow smart and confident with age. Invest time and money on yourself.
  • If a woman wants to fly or to touch the stars, no one can stop her, but only she, her inner fear, or her fellow women counterparts. Just keep yourself in their shoes and try to understand the situation as a fellow woman.
  • There is no shame in asking for help. We all need support at some or other points of our life. Trust it will make us stronger as we can focus on other essential things in our life.
  • Don’t play the woman’s card, and always believe in your hard work and commitment towards your work. Never take advantage of the privileges given to you as a woman.
  • Women should never shy away from making great relationships and networking. They must understand that we should build great relationships beyond work and use the power of networking. Several times women forget this crucial aspect of the corporate world due to the commitments towards the family.

We all get only one life and being a woman; sometimes, it is challenging to play so many roles together. There are so many women out there who are not fortunate to get the right education and opportunities in life. We should feel blessed and choose our choices wisely in life.

So many girls, Women, and their parents start thinking about marriage and motherhood very early in their life and career. They start diverting there focus from the work to their personal life. It is also an important decision in life, but the right achievements at the right time are always great.

Men can also learn several things from this book. I am sure it can be an eye-opener for them when they see the roles all the women in their life play at different stages.

I enjoyed reading it and got motivated as well.

Come on ladies get a copy for yourself and experience the your corporate world’s challenges from the writer’s pen :-).
