“This book was seminal in my life. I wouldn’t be living the life I’m living if it didn’t find me.”—Matthew McConaughey

Ten ancient scrolls reveal priceless wisdom for changing your life in this evergreen classic with more than five million copies in print.

A timeless fable with profoundly modern lessons, The Greatest Salesman in the World is both a road map to salesmanship and a heartfelt tale that redefines the meaning of success.

As a young camel boy in Jerusalem, Hafid dreams of becoming more. Witnessing the great empires of tradesmanship that others have grown, he desires to do the same—to become not only a salesman, but the greatest salesman in the world. Desperate to prove himself, he approaches the best merchant he knows, who sets him an impossible task—a task that takes him on an unforgettable journey involving a red cloak, a barn in Bethlehem, and ten scrolls that will change his life.

Each scroll touches upon perennially valuable lessons: persisting against the odds, mastering emotions, embracing joy, and creating good habits. Through the story of Hafid and his ten scrolls, The Greatest Salesman in the World guides readers through a philosophy for getting the most out of life—starting right now.

Wow, where has this book been??

One of the best business, sales, life, inspiration, motivation books I've ever listened to...and I've read/listened to hundreds. Wow.

Must Add to a your Collection!

Very Insightful. Easy to comprehend. Will listen to this daily. I highly recommend this book for all ages.

Loving and Loving it

A bit unsure about the story in the end but the overall purpose of this book is spot on. The principles are God's principles. This is also why the wicked succeeds while the saints suffer. They follow the book or the instructions to the T. The saints would rather believe God for a miracle than doing the work and THEN reap the harvest that naturally comes behind the work. i'm so glad Les Brown suggested it.

Amazing reading and story

The story was short but with a lot of important lesson, reason to live, find the purpose and build a great habit and push your limit, keep work concerns at work and home concern at home, many other lesson are there overall amazing

Fantastic

Listen carefully and repeat it several times. The wisdom in this story will place you among those who make a difference in this life instead of excuses.
