Some lessons, but it takes too long to set the premise and the lessons aren't exactly groundbreaking.

This book was an early entry in the genre of attempts to achieve learning/teaching within the frame of a fable. It is uplifting and enjoyable, but with the perspective of hindsight, it is not one of the best of this genre. It is PMA-ish, with an effort to motivate and inspire, but without much of real substance. What there is, though, is worth paying attention to, and since the book is relatively short and works as a moral fable, it is probably worth the time to read.

Es un libro entretenido con una historia que se lee de forma rápida, durante una mañana.
Los principios que se desprenden son básicos, pero puedo entender por qué es un libro tan recomendado. Aún así, a mí personalmente no me ha conquistado.

I’m not someone who indulges herself in reading self help books but then this one was so good I want to read all by him now.

This unique read has specific instructions: Each scroll (chapter) succeeding the backstory of how the greatest salesman in the world came to exist was to be read three times a day for thirty days. If one were to follow these specific instructions, the minimum time to finish this book would be 10 months, as there are 10 scrolls.
By far, this has been the longest read Ive done for 300 (or more) STRAIGHT days. And in those days I have found these scrolls to be uplifting. It is not so much a business book nor will it give you specific instructions on how to be rich. What it does is to develop the mindset of a person, by repeating lessons over and over, into becoming a success. My favorites are scrolls 2 and 6, which reminded me to greet each day with love in your heart and to be a master of your emotions.
Because I have been so used to reading this every day, it has become a habit. And now, even if I have finished, I will still continue to read one scroll every day, if only to remind me of the little things I should never forget if I want to become the best version of myself.

I will act now.
A story about laughter, life, death, kindness and wealth —more than just the financial kind.
I didn’t understand why everyone was so hyped up by Og Mandino’s writings. Well, after reading it, I can say that I get it.
This book is full of wisdom. Very approachable, practical advice.
And yes, the narrative kept me fascinated.
I had very low expectations. In fact, this book has been recommended to me many times throughout the years, and I didn’t listen then. I’m glad I finally read it, because it’s worth my time. I’ll also read the second volume.
Five stars, definitely.
