Summary

** "Acres of Diamonds: Our Every-day Opportunities" by Russell H. Conwell is a motivational work encouraging readers to find success in their everyday lives. This book, delivered in the compelling style of a gifted speaker, argues that people often search for riches far away while missing the opportunities right in front of them.
