5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional. It should be required reading in middle school, December 8, 1998

By A Customer

This book was recommended to me by a friend. I picked it up, read it and shared it with another friend. I immediately went to the bookstore to purchase several other books written by Mandino. Easy, concise and motivational. Those are the three words I used to describe the book when I loaned it out. This was 3 weeks ago. Since that time several people have purchased some of his books via Amazon (unfortunately for me I discovered Amazon.com after I made my purchases!!) as well as at different bookstores. I will recommend this book to all of the young people I know. As a matter of a fact I may purchase duplicate copies and distribute them myself. I believe that this author can make tremendous differences in the lives of all people, particularily those young people that are confused, lost and feeling unimportant!! Thanks to Mandino for great literature!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not his best, January 22, 2001

By A Customer

Even though this book is great by anyone's standards, it is not Og Mandino's best. It is very similar to "The Greatest Salesman in the World" (also by Mandino) but it somehow does not live up to the eternal masterpiece. The story itself is as striking as "Salesman" but the 10 principles are rather lethargically added to the end and do not carry the power of the ones in "Salesman". If you already own "Salesman" this is a worthwhile investment for sure, if not get "The Greatest Salesman in the World" instead. Whichever one you choose it will change your life that I can guarantee.

Ps. Anyone else notice Anthony Robins copies Mandino's principles exactly and makes it more detailed?

4.0 out of 5 stars All Og is good, this one isn't the best., March 25, 2009

By	Bruce Warner "The Real BW" (Woodbridge, VA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

While I love all things Og Mandino, this one isn't the top of the list. That goes to Greatest Miracle in the World. That said, it's still a great book.
