Actually I'm a fiction lover. I rarely read non fiction but reading this one was a different experience. This book is written in a different way. We didn't feel that we are reading a nonfiction book. The author had beautifully written his life experiences like a story. It feels like reading a beautiful Icelandic tale.This is a deep insightful book about the journey of the author from a poor newspaper boy to a great Icelandic leading salesman. Usually I will not put a mark on my books but for the first time I've used highlighter in this book😅😂. The book is full of messages that will help in our life. I really enjoyed this one. I've never went outside India, but this book gave me a feeling that I've visited Iceland. The beauty of Iceland is nicely explained in this book. I've recommended this book to my friends before finishing it. Reading this one will be an asset in our life. In my opinion everyone should read this book.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

💫"It doesn't matter what you do, just aim to become the best in your business"💫✨The book is a life journey of author where he gave the insights of how he started his sales business by distributing newspaper as a kid to make some extra money and how he achieved the success through wisdom of ancient vikings.✨This book being a biography of author's life gives too many life lessons to be successful in life and in business.

After reading this book, I googled about Iceland and the “Icelanders” because Gunnar Andri not only described everything about this country and it’s people so beautifully but also shared his own experience and journey in becoming the best salesman of Iceland.Amongst the natural disasters, boom and failures, countless pleasant and unpleasant things that came on its way he was still able to achieve lots of success. Not only this but his triumph was being noticed all over the world and Iceland was given the honorary title of ‘the fastest growing country in the world’, and Gunnar’s team were referred as the ‘Rock Stars of Iceland’.Today I agree totally with authors quote: “Knowledge is an asset that can never be taken from you, and If you want to earn more, you have to learn more.“ Failure can create both negative and a positive impact but if you choose a right path, stand up again then this failure becomes an experience and you gain a strength to move on. This message is very nicely narrated through Gunnar’s life experience.To conclude; this book will provide you Gunnar’s sales secrets, a little sneak peek into the art of achieving quality sales and how travel broadens one’s horizon by all means.I simply loved it and found his steps to guaranteed ‘quality’ sales extremely interesting.

Really inspiring and easy reading book, its great how the actor catches your attention from the start, cant wait for his next book!

This book takes self mastery to new levels

É um bom livro, com um bom preço e de fácil leitura. O único ponto não tão favorável é que a capa dobra-se com facilidade. Mas é só questão de ter mais cuidado.

Amazing!! Such a good book, 100% recommend, a lot of essential life skills in it, must read if you are interested in business.
