The Greatest Salesman in the World

5 stars (The greatest Salesman in the World by Og Mandino) - The Greatest Salesman in the World is an uplifting, motivating and inspiring book on sales and salesmanship. The author presents principles of good salesmanship in the form of a fascinating story which make it easy and interesting to remember the important principles. He does this through simple and direct parables which are woven into a profound story, with clever plot twists to explain the 10 principles for successful salesmanship as well as success in life. I loved to read the book because it is small and can be read and finished in a couple of hours and yet leave one with a deep impression. The book is recommended for beginners and veterans in the profession of selling. 1 stars (The only great salesman is the author) - An old rich merchant from the Bible times tries to pass on his secret to success. That "secret" is written in 10 ancient strolls who were given to him by another rich merchant before he died. These tips to accumulate wealth are nothing but cheap self-improvement-new-age advice that have nothing to do with business. For example, in the stroll marked 1, you can read: "Today I will savor the taste of grapes from these vines and verily I will swallow the seed of success buried in each and new life will sprout within me". The stroll marked 2 starts with this sentence: "I will greet this day with love in my heart" and number 4 begins with "I am nature's greatest miracle". This is the kind of insights you may expect from any book but a one called "The greatest salesman in the world". And it is so short: only 111 pages of really big print. If you want to read these kind of books, but written by good authors, please refer to Paulo Coelho. 5 stars (A very Powerful Book!) - The Greatest Salesman in The World is a classic case of not judging the quality of a book by it's size. This slim little book initially doesn't appear to be much or have much information. But once applied, it is powerful. ...

Tuesdays with Morrie- An Old Man- a Young Man- and Life-s Greatest Lesson

4 stars (Tuesday's with Morrie) - A short story that makes you reflect on your life and whether or not you are achieving the dreams you set out for yourself. I recommend it. 5 stars (All About the LITTLE Things) - Yeah there is no way to describe the book. To capture the essence of it, the story behind it or what you come away with. Other then it reminds you of the basics of life and all that jazz in a non-boring-lecture-the-teacher-is-a-moron-kinda-way... ::sigh:: Read the book and then share the love and the knowledge! Buy it, pass it on. Whether you say it changes your life, or not, it does not matter. For though I believe it hasn't changed mine, it express what I have felt is the forever the fundamentals of life, and what needs to be remembered and enjoyed. (Combining my accounts, I originally wrote this May 20, 2002) 5 stars (To all the "Dick Wagner" and "Jon W " reviewers out there ...) - I feel sorry for you cold and disconnected individuals. If this book did not touch your soul, or move you to tears, I would be concerned about your ability (or inability rather) to empathize. This was one of the most sincere, honest, and poignant books I've ever read. It was well written - short and sweet. Morrie never claims to be philospher! He is simply a wise, gentle, and enlightened man who shares what he learned throughout his lifes journey. We should all be so lucky to know a Morrie in our life, and I thank Mitch for writing such a touching and compassionate book. This book is a MUST read. ...

Fifty Places to Fly Fish Before You Die- Fly-Fishing Experts Share the World-s Greatest Destinations

5 stars (A must for the Rich Fishing Addict) - If you have unlimited funds and time this book provides the backbone for a lifetime of fishing trips to exotic locales. Initially I bought the book as a gift for a flyfishing addict but it was such a great read that I ended up buying a second book for myself. The photography is outstanding and so far I've visited 2 of the places in the book and they both ranked as the top trips I'veever taken. 2 down and 48 more to go!!! 3 stars (Pretty Pictures, Lacking In Meet) - Flyfishing books seem to come in 3 forms, unfortunately. 1) How To - From Basic to Obscure tips 2) Stories/Biography's - Self Explanatory 3) Pretty Pictures While there are exceptions ("Leaper", "Atlantic Salmon Chronicles" come to mind), this isn't one. It's in the Pretty Pictures category. And Pretty the Pictures Are! It shows you the same places the magazine always talk about, but in glorious color. Good for the coffee table I suppose. 5 stars (Fifty Places to Fly Fish Before You Die) - I boutht this book for my father for Father's Day and he hasn't let it out of his sight since. He has read it cover to cover at least twice. Pictures beautiful and descriptions detailed. I think he is making his reservations for next year on Christmas Island. He was with us the week I gave it to him and he told everyone about the book. What a buy! I will have to get another copy if I want to read it -- it definitely will not be passed on throughout the rest of us fly fishermen in the family. ...

The Greatest Game Ever Played- Harry Vardon- Francis Ouimet- and the Birth of Modern Golf

5 stars (The Greatest Game Ever Played) - I love this book. I am a woman over 60 who started playing golf 8 years ago. I have achieved a 17 handicap and realize how tough this game. The Greatest Game is a marvelous account of real people, playing a grueling game. I have just spent 4 days playing BAndon Dunes. This is akin to the era of The Greatest Game. I can't wait for the movie. 5 stars (Golf history is great!) - This is a must read for anyone wanting to know about the early history of American golf. This book is soon to come out in a movie - so I would read it as soon as you can! 5 stars (The greatest book about the greatest game) - Frost's account may not be truly be about the "birth of modern golf" but it certainly recounts the beginning of the popularity, if not the ascendency, of golf in the United States. The portraits of the characters in this saga, from Vardon, to Ouimet and even Eddy Lowry made vivid the explicit details of the critical rounds played on those hallowed Country Club grounds. It was golf history in the style and scholarship of Barbara Tuchman. A fabulous read for any with a passion for history and golf, even if you have never been interested in the history of golf. You will be interested ever after you read this book, and waiting eagerly for Frost's account-sequel of the greatest amateur to play the game. ...

Even non-boxing fans will be interested! ...

The Greatest Baseball Stories Ever Told

5 stars (Every Chapter A True Joy) - I don't know if these are truly the greatest baseball stories ever told, but they are certainly entertaining. I am a baseball fan, but I'm not especially learned in baseball history. These stories, all by a different author, have deepened my love for the game and engendered appreciation for the men who play the game, past and present. I admit up front that I am a die-hard Dodger fan. The chapter by Vin Scully on Sandy Kofa'xs perfect game gave me goose bumps. I learned my love of baseball from my father, so the chapter by Doris Kearns Goodwin was especially meaningful (brought tears to my eyes). She tells how her father taught her to keep a score book for the Brooklyn Dodger games, then relay to him, play by play the entire game when he came home from work. She tells how, when the score was close toward the end of a game, she had to ask her mother to take notes while she left the room because the anxiety was just too much to bear. I, too, have had to do this. Of course, the first chapter with Abbott and Costello's "Who's On First" is a classic whether you are a baseball fan or not. I enjoyed every page of this book and plan to pass it along to grandkids who also love the game of baseball. 5 stars (The Title Says It All) - The baseball stories that make up this book make it possible to call this book the the Greatest Baseball Stories Ever Told. These stories have appeared in years past in the three Fireside books of baseball that are currently out of print. Since they are no longer available it would be advisable for you to strike while the iron is hot and buy this book. The book contains both fiction and non-fiction and certainly doesn't cover all the great stories that the Fireside books contain, but you can't argue with the thirty that make up this book. I would especially recommend this book for youngsters interested in baseball literature who weren't around to enjoy the Fireside books. 5 stars (An instant Hall o...
