Amazon.com Review
The Greatest Salesman in the World is a tiny book, and it is a treasure. First published in 1968, Og Mandino's classic remains an invaluable guide to a philosophy of salesmanship. Mandino's clear, simple writing style supports his purpose: to make the principles of sales known to a wide audience. A parable set in the time just prior to Christianity, The Greatest Salesman in the World weaves mythology with spirituality into a much needed message of inspiration in this culture of self-promotion. Mandino believes that to be a good salesperson, you must believe in yourself and the work you are doing. It is a simple but profound spiritual philosophy about how to succeed in the world's marketplace, easily understood and easy to take to heart. --Jodie Buller

 Worth reading October 25, 2009
Phil M. Crowe (Ohio)
I have read this book that I borrowed from the library several times. I wanted a copy that I could review from time to time. Well worth your time. It's a short but valuable read.
Classic! September 14, 2009
Seth Prochaska (Colorado)
I thought this book had a strange title, when it was recommended to me. Yet i understand now! And I understand that it's more than a rousing tale about a great salesman! Though that's how it starts... The beginning paints a picture of an allegorical fantasy, yet Og Mandino's wisdom pops off the page in the middle, as he shares the best elements of life with the world. And the ending will not disappoint... enjoy the twist!
This book is a life changer August 5, 2009
Hielke Scheper (St.Lucia)
I owned a copy of this book before and it ghanged my life but i lent it to a rrelative but never got it back.I bought this one because i want my children to read it. you will never regret this one.
Amazon's service is good but i ended up paying US$45.00 in shipping to get it here in St.Lucia.
AND I STILL DON'T REGRET ORDERING IT.
Absolutely Excellent June 5, 2009
Scott M. Losey (Somerset, NJ)
This book is one of the best stories ever told. He gets the point & I actually did what the book says to try & my life has completely turned around. The way I think & act is thanks to this book. Words cannot express my feelings about this book. A MUST READ!!
 The promise of wealth... May 6, 2009
JAG 1 (Massachusetts, USA)
4 out of 7 found this review helpful
Og Mandino delivers a Christian message that is essentially Protestant in that it emphasizes the work-ethic. I have no problem with hard work, but I also appreciate the idea that God also has designed humans to relax and have a good time with people. By tying in the promise of wealth to a theological system of thought, Mandino implies that those who fail in business are theologically deficient. Though I found the book to be well written, imaginative and entertaining; I didn't fully agree with the author's plan to "success".
Take me for example, I have settled into a job that doesn't make a whole lot of money; but it is enough to support my family, enjoy life, and have some nice things (albeit, not A LOT of nice things). I could make more money, and have nicer things, but the time investment would rob me of spending that much extra time with my two teenagers and my little boy.
