Summary "Acres of Diamonds" by Russell H. Conwell is a motivational work written in the early 20th century. This book is based on a lecture that Conwell delivered numerous times, emphasizing opportunities for wealth and success that are often overlooked in one’s immediate environment. The central theme revolves around the idea that individuals can find their own "acres of diamonds" – the untapped potential and opportunities within their existing circumstances. In this work, Conwell tells the story of Ali Hafed, a Persian farmer who, after learning about the wealth that diamonds can bring, sells his farm and embarks on a fruitless search for wealth elsewhere. Meanwhile, the farm he abandoned is discovered to have diamonds after he leaves, illustrating the notion that what one desires might already lie beneath their feet. Throughout the book, Conwell provides various anecdotes of individuals who left their promising ventures in pursuit of distant riches, only to discover that their initial environments held the true potential for success. The overall message encourages readers to seek and invest in the opportunities that are readily available to them instead of looking far and wide for wealth.
