Author bio

Robin Sharma was born in Uganda in 1964 and moved to Canada as a child, growing up in small-town Nova Scotia in a family that prized education and service. He later studied law at Dalhousie University, earning both undergraduate and graduate law degrees before beginning a conventional legal career.

In his twenties he clerked for the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia and worked as a litigation lawyer for the Canadian government. On paper he was successful—good title, solid pay, steady respectability—but the long hours and constant pressure left him restless and looking for a more meaningful path.

That search pushed him toward personal growth and spirituality, and eventually to writing. He self-published Megaliving! in 1994, followed a few years later by The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari, a short fable about a high-powered lawyer who walks away from success to study with Himalayan sages.

Word of the little book spread, a major publisher picked it up, and Sharma left the law to write and teach full time. The Monk series grew into a set of connected fables, including Leadership Wisdom from The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari, Family Wisdom from The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari, Who Will Cry When You Die?, Discover Your Destiny, and The Secret Letters of The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari.

Across those stories he keeps returning to a few simple questions: How do you live with purpose? What does real success cost? And how do you stay kind, brave, and present while still doing excellent work in the world?

Alongside the fables, he has written more direct guides to performance and leadership, such as The Greatness Guide, The Leader Who Had No Title, The Mastery Manual, and the audio program Extraordinary Leadership. These books lean on short, practical ideas—about focus, service, discipline, and small daily improvements—rather than complicated theory.

With The 5AM Club he wrapped his long-standing advice on early rising and morning routines into a story about an artist and an entrepreneur mentored by an eccentric billionaire. Later works like The Everyday Hero Manifesto and The Wealth Money Can't Buy expand that message, arguing that anyone can live like a hero and that real wealth includes health, growth, relationships, and contribution, not just income.

Behind the books is a speaking and advisory career that has taken him into boardrooms and arenas around the world. Those talks mix personal stories with straightforward advice instead of polished corporate jargon.

Through his firm, Sharma Leadership International, he has worked with executives, athletes, and teams at well-known companies while his books have sold millions of copies in dozens of languages. Even with that reach, his focus stays narrow: help people strengthen their inner life so they can lead whether or not they have a big title.

He continues to live in Canada, raise his two children, and write and teach about self-mastery, service, and building a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks from the outside.
