About this audiobook

“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.

Ratings and reviews

story is kind of trash. the 10 principals are good if you can implement them in your life. the principals alone are worth the price of the book and even more so; if implemented!! good book otherwise.

Great wisdom lies within this book... It is a real pleasure listening to this... it moved me to tears and opened my being. From my heart and my soul, thank you! I will be listening to this over and over and over again with pleasure and with full heart 🙏

I have read this book a dozen times and each time I read it I feel a connection to my Heavenly Father. It's almost like it was writen just for me. The word speak volumes to me. So much love and respect for OG Mandino.
