This iconic self-improvement book is still as worthwhile a read today as it was when Og Mandino wrote it, back in the 1960s. Following the philosophies on the scrolls given to Hafid, the main character, will still lead to success in sales or anything else a person undertakes in life. They are timeless and universals rules for success and happiness. I gave the book only three stars because I didn't much care for the way the author tries to give credibility to his "rules for living" by fictionally setting them in a Biblical New Testament setting. I thought his philosophies are good and complement Christian values and the fictional connection of the scrolls and their rules for living was not only unnecessary, but distracting. That being said, The Greatest Salesman in the World is still a classic. It is a quick and easy read that would benefit almost everyone.

Utterly worthless. Self help that will help no one, least of all a salesman.

When I took a job that has sales element in it, I looked up a few books that give tips on how to sell so I came across this book and added it on my tbr. But this book is so different from what I was expecting, in a good way. Instead of the 'how to' I thought this book would be, it is a 'parable' type of story with a lot of affirmations kind of positive messages. So it turns out to be another wake up call type of reading.
