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, Li

Og Mandino has written many life-changing books that shall be remembered by many wonderful and amazing people for many future generations to come. I cannot express with words how much I still love and cherish University of Success, which is the first Og Mandino's Self-help book that I have read and The book that has completely changed and transformed my life by finally making me find and by finally making me see my life's purpose, my life's meaning, and my life's mission, or better said, various different kind of reasons why I was born and why I was truly brought onto this world. This book is also the kind of book that can change and transform human lives. It's not just a guide for salesmen or saleswomen, it's a lot more than that, it carries Og Mandino's timeless wisdom and Og Mandino's extensive knowledge within it, and hundreds of inspirational sentences which were clearly so brilliantly and masterfully put together that have completely changed and completely transformed millions of people's lives. So this book is not just any kind of book, it's a treasure box for those people who have lost themselves in time of turmoil and have lost faith in themselves and those who surround them, because it provides those kind of people with hope, with courage, and with a strength that's needed for them to find their own treasure box, or better said, find their own true reason for being.

old book. long winded, indirect, vague. sound like part fiction and part non fiction.

Some points include be ambitious, persevere, love people, work like it is your last day, surpass yourself, act now, pray for guidance. ( )

When you speak to people involved in sales, almost everyone has read The Greatest Salesman in the World. It's a wonderful book that outlines the key principles for a successful, win-win business with heart. ( )
