Publisher's summary

The runaway bestseller with more than four million copies in print! You too can change your life with the priceless wisdom of ten ancient scrolls handed down for thousands of years.

“Every sales manager should read The Greatest Salesman in the World. It is a book to keep at the bedside, or on the living room table—a book to dip into as needed, to browse in now and then, to enjoy in small stimulating portions. It is a book for the hours and for the years, a book to turn to over and over again, as to a friend, a book of moral, spiritual and ethical guidance, an unfailing source of comfort and inspiration.”—Lester J. Bradshaw, Jr., Former Dean, Dale Carnegie Institute of Effective Speaking & Human Relations

“I have read almost every book that has ever been written on salesmanship, but I think Og Mandino has captured all of them in The Greatest Salesman in the World. No one who follows these principles will ever fail as a salesman, and no one will ever be truly great without them; but, the author has done more than present the principles—he has woven them into the fabric of one of the most fascinating stories I have ever read.”—Paul J. Meyer, President of Success Motivation Institute, Inc.

“I was overwhelmed by The Greatest Salesman in the World. It is, without doubt, the greatest and the most touching story I have ever read. It is so good that there are two musts that I would attach to it: First, you must not lay it down until you have finished it; and secondly, every individual who sells anything, and that includes us all, must read it.”—Robert B. Hensley, President, Life Insurance Co. of Kentucky

Loving and Loving it

A bit unsure about the story in the end but the overall purpose of this book is spot on. The principles are God's principles. This is also why the wicked succeeds while the saints suffer. They follow the book or the instructions to the T. The saints would rather believe God for a miracle than doing the work and THEN reap the harvest that naturally comes behind the work. i'm so glad Les Brown suggested it.

Can be Life-Changing

This beautiful and wonderful story can be life-changing. It was for me many years ago. Simple and easy guidelines to follow that will improve your life and more importantly your outlook on life.
I listened to the story as a refresher and just to feel better about the current state of our world. I highly recommend this book if you are looking for a sense peace and and the possibility of goodness in your life and in our world. It's worth a try, isn't it?

Underrated

Any additional comments?

One of the most underrated books. I didn't expect this to be as good as it was based on nobody really praising it for what it is. As a entrepreneur and future business owner (if you're into those sorts of reads), this is definitely in my top 5. Of all time. I won't even go into detail on the story line, just give it a shot. Great, great book. Very glad I listened.

Enjoyable to listen while driving

Good tonal differences and expression between characters. However it was difficult to pay attention during the reading of the scrolls, mainly due to the nature of the commands of the scrolls. Nevertheless I enjoyed it

Beautiful words to describe the scrolls

Wow, what a beautifully written code of conduct for all of us to follow in business and life. The story, the setting allowed us to immerse ourselves in the plot and be treated to the priceless pearls of wisdom. I will buy the hard copy to read and reread to give me the strength to live to my full potential.

I will buy several copies for my family and friends and encourage them to read it and be transformed as well. What a different world it would be if we all followed the scrolls.
