• Liked the scrolls, the rest was unnecessary.
  The first half of the book introduces you to the ancient story of the greatest salesman and his scrolls, but this is quite unnecessary. Next are the scrolls - they have little to do with salesmanship and much more with self motivation/improvement and inspiration, yet they are indeed good. The theistic end to the book (including the last scroll) severely weakens the book's impact, simply because it cannot by its nature be in line with the motivational tone of the preceding scrolls.

• RAH RAH Speech on steroids
  If listening the RAH RAH motivational speeches helps you, you will love Og Mandino. Basically all of his books are pure emotional rally with very little logical advice. Some salespeople feel they need this to keep them pumped up and positive in the face of daily rejection. If this is you, then this is a 5 star book. If you actually want usable advice don't bother with the writings of Mandino. He gives no usable advice.

  a day that I am a wonderful salesman! So I typed it up myself with
  language appropriate to my gender. In so saying, I believe that exercise
  gels the scrolls in my consciousness even more so I have given it 5 stars
  anyway. Make sure you do the repetitions for the full 30 days as repetition IS the first law of learning. If you don't repeat it, it... more info
