Book and Author Recommendation

I had a delightful encounter the other day in a second-hand bookshop.

I picked up a small book, entitled The Greatest Salesman in the World, by Og Mandino. I had never heard of the author.

The face of the man behind the counter lit up when I showed him the book that I had selected. He then eagerly led me to another section of his bookshop, which had several titles by Mandino. On his recommendation, I bought them all.

I am thrilled that I did. Within two days, I have read three of these books.

One, entitled The Greatest Miracle in the World, devotes a full chapter to what the author calls the 'God Memorandum'. It is an inspiring read that reminds us of the unique set of attributes and gifts we each bring to the world.

One of the other topics discussed in this section of the book is the power that we have to choose. The principles of being able to choose and to act wisely are great fundamentals in business. Being clear about our decisions and making them in line with our purpose are basic keys to our success, in both business and in life.

The website Og Mandino has been created in Mandino’s memory. His inspiring books and other resources are available through this site. They are well worth the visit, and I highly recommend them to you.
