First published in 1968, Og Mandino's classic remains an invaluable guide to a philosophy of salesmanship. A parable set in the time just prior to Christianity. Og Mandino uses the story of Hafid, a young camel boy that lived in biblical times, to promote the values that he wishes to extend to the reader. These values are presented to Hafid in the form of ten scrolls who is then instructed to read each scroll three times a day for thirty days before proceeding on to the next scroll. This method is intended to help Hafid internalize the principles. Read the book straight through, then go back and study the scrolls.

What you are today is not important, for in this runaway bestseller you will learn how to change your life by applying the secrets you are about to discover in the ancient scrolls. The original Greatest Salesman in the World follows the great salesman Hafid's life before and after he reads the 10 scrolls of selling success. In this quite similar sequel, the scrolls of success are lost in a shipwreck, and Hafid is divinely called to write 10 new scrolls in order to replace the old ones. The new scrolls emphasize these main points: - Never again will I belittle myself - I won't start the day without a map - I will be enthusiastic - I will never be unpleasant to others - I will look for triumph in adversity - I will do my best on every task - I will focus completely on the task at hand - I will never wait for opportunity, instead I will seek it - Each night, I will reflect on what I did, and think about how I can improve - I will pray to the creator in success and failure.

The book goes over principles. A principle in the book is a specific piece of advice that will help in a situation that will benefit both the user and the receiver. The principles all work together to create a way to successfully complete the objective of that specific part. The book not only gives advice about how to handle certain situations, but also gives many real life examples of how they are put to use and how they have worked. All this accumulates to a better understanding of how the principle relates to a regular person in the business or personal world. Each principle is reinforced with real life examples of how they have workedand each chapter ends with a footer that always gives a brief synopsis in what the chapter is trying to teach. As we, human beings, are more social than ever this book is more relevant than ever.
