Augustine "Og" Mandino II was an American author. He wrote the bestselling book The Greatest Salesman in the World. His books have sold over 50 million copies and have been translated into over twenty-five different languages. He was born in 1923 and he died in 1996.

"The Greatest Salesman in the World" is a book that serves as a guide to a philosophy of salesmanship, and success, telling the story of Hafid, a poor camel boy who achieves a life of abundance.

Hafid - The main character Hafid is in a sad state, mourning the loss of his wife, Lisha. The story starts years into Hafid’s seclusion, when a dream convinces him to see a stranger that turns up on his doorstep and pulls Hafid out of retirement to embarke on a new adventure: a speaking tour to enlighten others and including one of his greatest admirers, Patricio-about the principles enclosed in The Ten Scroll.
I read this book in the 1980's spurred on by others who had gleaned some success in their lives after having taken some of Og's principals into their lives.

Actor Matthew McConaughey cited this book as having changed his life.

The book is also recommended by Tariq Jameel, who says that the book should be read by everyone looking for success in their lives
