Who Will Cry When You Die?
101 life lessons for living with purpose, meaning, and joy. Sharma distills years of wisdom into short, actionable chapters.
My Thoughts
Each chapter is only 2-3 pages, making it perfect for daily reading. One chapter a day keeps the existential crisis away.
The lessons range from practical (wake up early, journal) to philosophical (contemplate death to appreciate life).
What I appreciate is that Sharma doesn't just philosophize — every lesson comes with a specific action you can take today.
Key Takeaways
- Live your life so that when you die, the world cries while you rejoice.
- The purpose of life is a life of purpose.
- Small daily acts of kindness ripple outward in ways you'll never see.
- Your days are your life in miniature.
