I wouldn’t be living the life I’m living if it didn’t find me.”—Matthew McConaughey Ten ancient scrolls reveal priceless wisdom for changing your life in this evergreen classic with more than five million copies in print. A timeless fable with profoundly modern lessons, The Greatest Salesman in the World is both a road map to salesmanship and a heartfelt tale that redefines the meaning of success. As a young camel boy in Jerusalem, Hafid dreams of becoming more. Witnessing the great empires of tradesmanship that others have grown, he desires to do the same—to become not only a salesman, but the greatest salesman in the world. Desperate to prove himself, he approaches the best merchant he knows, who sets him an impossible task—a task that takes him on an unforgettable journey involving a red cloak, a barn in Bethlehem, and ten scrolls that will change his life. Each scroll touches upon perennially valuable lessons: persisting against the odds, mastering emotions, embracing joy, and creating good habits. Through the story of Hafid and his ten scrolls, The Greatest Salesman in the World guides readers through a philosophy for getting the most out of life—starting right now. Review: Small book but immense in substance! - This is a small book with lots of amazingly powerful principles, written in a summerized manner, direct style that makes it easy for people to grasp. Review: Enjoyable, Easy Read, Motivational - The first book I have read by Og Mandino, THE GREATEST SALESMAN IN THE WORLD, is a delightful little book on self-improvement. It is a classic, and many self-help authors will borrow the wisdom, principles, and themes in the book. The story begins with Hafid, who overseas the largest multinational trade empire in the civilized world. He possesses scrolls that contain principles that he applied in his life to become the "greatest salesman in the world." The story is uplifting, interesting and moving and briefly shows Hafid's rise from a camel boy to the "greatest salesman in the world." The idea is that we, as Hafid, can become the "greatest salesman in the world" if we diligently, consistently, and rigorously apply the principles contained in the scrolls. You want to remind yourself of these principles, apply them until they become habits. The principle of persistence: "I was not delivered in this world in defeat, nor does failure course in my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded by my shephard. I am a lion and refuse to talk, to walk, to sleep with the sheep. I will hear not those who weep and complain, for their disease is contagious. Let them join the sheep. The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny." Moreover, "nor will I allow yesterday's success to lull me into today's complacency, for this is the great foundation of failure." The idea we are "nature's greatest miracle," and I quote: "Within me burns a flame which has been passed from generations uncounted and its heat is a constant irritation to my spirit to become better than I am, and I will. I will fan this flame of dissatisfaction and proclaim my uniqueness to the world." The idea is that you are unique, and you must utilize your own uniqueness to achieve success. Copying others' uniqueness can only get you so far. You, your uniqueness as a person, is an advantage you must use. Other principles and ideas include but are not limited to controlling one's emotions, enjoying each day as if it were your last, remembering to laugh at yourself, and being a person of action. THE GREATEST SALESMAN IN THE WORLD is a small, easy-to-read book but is vast in its simple wisdom. It is definitely worthwhile reading, especially if you are in the grind of your career, educational program, small business, and so forth and need something small, easy-to-read but also inspiring. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #30,225 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #7 in Two-Hour Business & Money Short Reads #7 in Motivational Management & Leadership #15 in Two-Hour Self-Help Short Reads | ## Images ![The Greatest Salesman in the World - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/818e9je-pWL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Small book but immense in substance! *by D***S on April 27, 2026* This is a small book with lots of amazingly powerful principles, written in a summerized manner, direct style that makes it easy for people to grasp. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enjoyable, Easy Read, Motivational *by C***S on May 18, 2008* The first book I have read by Og Mandino, THE GREATEST SALESMAN IN THE WORLD, is a delightful little book on self-improvement.
