In this program, Denis Waitley narrates one of the most popular, self-help speeches in the world тАУ delivered over 6,000 times by Russell Conwell, a Baptist minister, nearly 150 years ago. At the heart of тАЬAcres of DiamondsтАЭ is a parable Conwell heard while traveling through the Middle East in 1870. It is a story about a Persian farmer named Ali Hafed, who wasted his life searching, in vain, for diamonds that would make him rich, never knowing that the farmland he had abandoned would produce some of the most valuable diamonds ever found, that would adorn the crowns of EuropeтАЩs kings and queens.
A recognized pioneer in the personal development movement, Denis Waitley is one of the most respected and listened to voices on high performance achievement. The author of 18 non-fiction books, his audio album, тАЬThe Psychology of Winning,тАЭ is the all-time, best-selling program on self-mastery. Acres of Diamonds, Russell ConwellтАЩs famous motivational speech, is narrated by Denis Waitley, who offers his own observations at the conclusion of the program as to why we need to search for our own тАЬacres of diamondsтАЭ in our own backyards; the backyards of our minds, where our core values and beliefs are stored.
