and The Greatest Secret in the World
.The Greatest Salesman in the World
The first book is a small (A5-ish size), 89-page book, that presents the story of how a humble camel boy rose to become the greatest salesman in the world by following the instructions in the Ten Scrolls for Success (also included in the book).
Despite its length, this is a great little book.
The story surrounding the scrolls is entertaining and lightly written to provide context and maintain interest. There are some Christian themes that will add to its poignancy if you are religious but the messages are not over-bearing and you won't need to be religious to get something out of this book.
It's written in fairly "old style", but the truth in the words is instantly recognisable. The basic concept is that if you read the scrolls three times daily they will become part of your conscious and unconscious thoughts.
There is a bit more to it than the description above and the first scroll explains how they should be read and used. Of course, the challenge with anything like this is actually sticking to a new routine like this...
...which is where the next book comes in...
The Greatest Secret in the World
This is the follow-on to the The Greatest Salesman in the World, and provides a structure to help actually follow the lessons of that book day-by-day.
, and provides a structure to help actually follow the lessons of that book day-by-day.It contains the same "Scrolls For Success" as the previous book, but the context is more "practical" and aimed towards helping you "stick to the program".
The key tool it provides is a "success recorder" and instructions on how to use it. The success recorder is to be used on a daily basis to track progress and as a way to ensure the instructions the scrolls outline are followed.
Why buy both though?
Admittedly, the majority of the real content is the same in both books so some might argue that you're better off just getting either one or the other.
I personally found the story in the first book worth reading cover-to-cover, whilst the second book is more of a practical step-by-step guide to follow as prescribed; not as entertaining, but worth it for clear instructions on how to "put it into practice".
One or the other or both are well recommended if you don't mind the slightly old-style English used though.
