Description

“This book was seminal in my life. 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.

    Twisted upon end and end for physical and digital copies; the book inclined definitive grasp to what I'd like to do and what comes into truth for confidence and heaves of benevolence. To sum up the book: An enabling thesaurus of content couples from each gradual claims to be content, etc. Thank for the "Return of the Ragpicker" and countless others made by Og Mandino. Homage and respect... he truly does a coordinating, yet quaint linguistic twist by predicate and subject in realizing focal to prevail derision too.
