The Greatest Salesman in the World

1 About this book

The Greatest Salesman in the World is a book written by Og Mandino, that serves as a guide to a philosophy of salesmanship and success, telling the story of Hafid, a poor camel boy who achieves a life of abundance. The book was first published in 1968, and reissued in 1983 by Bantam. A hardcover edition was published by Buccaneer Books in June 1993. In 1970, the Success Motivation Institute purchased the rights to produce the audio recording.

The book advises readers to form good habits, because "Good habits are the key to all success," and bad habits lead to failure.

The book instructs readers to read Scroll I (Chapter 8) three times a day for thirty days straight. According to the book, only after completing the thirty days of reading Scroll I should the reader continue to Scroll II (Chapter 9) and so forth through Scroll X (Chapter 17). If Mandino's suggested reading structure is followed, it would take about 10 months to read the book.
