Makes you rethink your life and life goals
I read this wise book a couple times several years ago. I still have the copy, all marked up where I found useful thoughts and quotations. The story of Simon the Ragpicker and the writer could be made into an Academy Award winning movie, if some producer would do it right -- it's that moving.

The God Memorandum, at the end, is like a modern day book of the Bible, entirely positive and profound. However, I don't think it's necessary to do the little piece of cloth ritual!

One of my all - time top 5 books
This book has revolutionized how i think about life and other people. It is such an awesome read because of the way OG Mandino writes the book and it addresses every single problem that our society faces to date and relates it back to one problem : LACK OF SELF-ESTEEM. Everything is so true in this book stating how most people only look for self-help when they are on the scrap heap of life and if they aren't they don't realize that they have a serious lack of self-esteem. This book will help so many other people become ragpickers as i have made my life dedicated to becoming a ragpicker.

Another Winner of a Book
Mandino has contributed another masterpiece to the success/motivation literature. A quote attributed to Seneca helps sum up this book's theme, "soil, no matter how rich, could not be productive without cultivation and neither could our minds." This book provides the proper nourishment for the productive mind. The familiar aphorism "you are what you think" is developed in compelling fashion. Mandino is skilled in maintaining a bit of mystery as he expands upon principles familiar to readers of this genre. He holds his readers captive by the storytelling talent few possess to the degree of a few masters. Pathos is built by the characters and the situations painted in the mind's eye as the plot develops. There are some powerful insights that will motivate any reader with an open mind.
