Showing results for "The Businessman" in Marketing & Sales

How many business books can stand a 100-year test of time? This little volume has done just that. It's been called "The best marketing book you've never read". And while it continues to slip under the radar of many, thousands of ambitious business people regard this classic tale as one of the most important business lessons they've ever learned.

Originally published in 1916, this simple story is over a hundred years old, but its message on the value of applying common sense in our career is just as relevant today as it was 110 years ago. Advertising legend David Ogilvy claimed Obvious Adams changed his life. He was so passionate about its message that he made his employees read it every year! It is less a book about advertising (or even Adams himself), and more accurately: a book about the power of a sharp mindset.
