I have
been a huge admirer of Rhonda Byrne and her books The Secret and The Magic as
they re-emphasize on my belief that each one of us is born unique with special
talents. It is just a matter of time that we recognize it and un-leash our true
power. This book also belongs to the same category where the authors have
talked about having a hidden super star within us and have also discussed how
to bring it out.

Me
thinks
As a
child when I had read Wizards of Oz never had I imagined the way these authors
have bringing out the hidden surprises of this story showing us how each one of
us actually has a super power. A power to conquer the world, a strength to make
our dreams come true and the capacity to make it all happen – it is just most
of the times we doubt ourselves so much that we fail to see our own talent.
Doubt covers our vision not letting us see the way ahead clearly and hence we
never achieve all that we could have if not for our self doubt.
This
book is very beautifully divided into 9 chapters which are actually the nine
steps one needs to take to eventually become a superstar. The book begins with
the Power of Oz where the author reminds us of the story of Wizard of Oz and
how in the end Dorothy concludes that all the power till now was very much
within her which she failed to recognize.
It is
very innovative to see that before every step the authors remind us of a
similar scene in the book Wizard of Oz taking us back in the story and then
ahead explaining us how to connect the missing dots and make a complete
picture.
Becoming
a superstar is not about changing who you are. It is about changing what you
do. – Myra White
The
biggest thing which makes this book more unique is it talks about some 60
superstars both Indian and Western who have become superstars in their own
unique way. Two different countries, varied set of circumstances, different
backgrounds and yet the result is the same - a superstar who has made a
difference to the world we are surrounded with. That is exactly what the
authors had in mind while writing this. They wanted to highlight that success
does not depend on where you are from and who are. It matters on what you are
made up of!
Each
and every example shared here is so inspiring that by the time you reach the
end of the book it truly brings out the superstar in you! The language,
narration, presentation along with easy to understand words makes this one an
easy and enjoyable read.
