Author : Og Mandino
What is it about : A short and compact book set in the ancient Middle-East about two mega-rich men in their twilight years, recalling how they had achieved such riches through the learnings of some even more ancient Strolls.
Some thoughts after having read the book : Despite the dead-give-away book title, the book is much more than a Dummies Guide to becoming a successful sales person or a quick DIY hands-on manual on how to sell used cars or shower curtain rings; the book ultimately is more a philosophical approach to the bigger and more complex topic of Life Management. I found the "Scrolls" contents to be not dissimilar to what one expects a father would pass on to child; or any masters would impart their life's learning to followers.
Would I recommend this book to you : A quick read to boost your self-esteem and a reminder of how success in life can only come about, through the consistent application of good fundamental practices. Feeling lost, down, deflated, demoralised and in need of motivation ? Take this book out !
