I agree that a traditional sequel would not make much sense, although the author may have more to share in the form of a second book.AliceofX wrote: ↑02 Jan 2018, 13:05 I don't see how that could come about. The book is almost an autobiography of sorts, and autobiographies don't have sequels. I saw it as a story about how one person's character and opinions were formed throughout his life. It's about growing up, in a sense. I don't see where you could go from there.

Expanding on one or more chapters rather than a traditional sequal could be interestingfergie wrote: ↑02 Jan 2018, 12:21 I don't think there should be a sequel about the official gurus, because the book wasn't about them. It was almost the opposite of that - about learning from the surprising, unlikely people you meet everyday. That said, it's pretty clear the author is a self help, motivational guru himself, which makes it an odd kind of book. If anything, I think the chapters in the books could be expanded, as some of them could almost be novels in themselves. The chapter where he's growing up and they're all walking like their fathers, but then he breaks away for example, almost feels like a plot synopsis for a coming of age novel!

Very good point! If the author really does heed the readers, a second book could be promising.Emie Cuevas wrote: ↑02 Jan 2018, 23:28 There is always something new to learn, from anybody about anything. I think a sequel is a good idea, especially if the author listens to what his readers said about the book, and writes it to suit them.

I would hope that after seeking reviews, the author would heed the thoughts of his readers. If his work needs more editing according to those who read this first book, then I hope he keeps this in mind.Gikonyo Caroline wrote: ↑03 Jan 2018, 04:49 Perhaps not a sequel but another motivational book by this author would be great. I think though he must do a better job at editing to minimise the errors

Another motivational book could work, as long as it isn't too far reaching or too redundant, since he's already written this one.pinklover wrote: ↑03 Jan 2018, 05:04I agree with your idea. Another motivational book to inspire different people. His story is common but not as the same as him. Just a similar alike.Gikonyo Caroline wrote: ↑03 Jan 2018, 04:49 Perhaps not a sequel but another motivational book by this author would be great.

Agreed! At least not I'm the traditional sense of a sequel

That would be a great concept, and one I would enjoy reading. But I agree that it doesn't seem quite fitting for him.kjoan wrote: ↑05 Jan 2018, 03:15 If the author chose write a sequel, I think it should be about another way to view success other than through material wealth. Something like self-leadership or growing character. That said I don't see him either having that perspective or being interested in writing from it.
