Thoughtful and unique, Og Mandino teaches, through the story of an old merchant and his advice to his apprentice, how you can change your life for the better. The world's greatest salesman offers wise lessons for achieving success and is a global bestseller, with over 1 million copies sold in Brazil.
The Greatest Salesman in the World is the story of Hafid, an extremely successful merchant who lived 2,000 years ago. Now elderly and the owner of the largest commercial empire of his time, he sees in his loyal apprentice, Erasmus, a worthy confidant, worthy of receiving the knowledge that has accompanied him throughout a successful life, and which was passed on to him many years earlier by his master, Pathros.
Og Mandino, in one of his most brilliant works, reveals the wise words of Erasmus and shows how to apply them in everyday life and make them the key to success. Og Mandino's wisdom for achieving such extraordinary success is to present life in clearer and simpler terms: truth, sincerity, and faith. People of all levels and spiritual, intellectual, and business backgrounds have already understood the message: "Life is a wonderful gift, and we must live it to the fullest."
In The Greatest Salesman in the World , Og Mandino demonstrates that satisfaction and well-being result from finding one's true personality and utilizing it in one's daily life. Upon achieving this goal, the author asserts, all other material benefits are simply a logical consequence.
The world's greatest salesman reflects, with singular inspiration, Emerson's beautiful thought: "We are, in reality, more than we know ourselves to be, and we often hear things come from our lips that we did not believe we were capable of saying."
