Description

Business. Religion & Spirituality. Self-Improvement. Nonfiction. HTML: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.… (more)

This venerated story just didn't work for me. The concept is good, but I don't like the way it was approached. Leveraging the Christmas story and Paul declared a brazen hubris not backed by the merit of the message. I also found the word choice overly descriptive. Every noun gets its own adjective,

e.g. "Beyond the long row of silent tents, strands of thick hemp curled around four ancient olive trees." Moving from this cadence into the main inspirations made them seem more hypnotic than inspiring. There are plenty of useful meditations about persistence and positivity, but they weren't delivered in a way the resonates with me.

Trite and inconsistent self-help maxims couched as deep religious wisdom.

Offers ten principles for sales, salesmanship, and personal growth, through the story of Hafid, a young camel boy who is offered the keys to success after giving away a valuable cloak to the infant Jesus.

It is abook that gives easy matra to repeat for thirty days. According to the author if you do these matra for thirty days each your life will be changed. I have not had the discipline to do that so I am not sure if it would work.
