This book will inspire you to think differently about money and wealth! This book isn't a guide to making money, but reveals concepts that practically every person uses to obtain wealth! And it's not just about money. This book will literally change your thinking about life. The book's themes are "ageless". The examples aren't modern-day, yet the book shows you the concepts that were around in Babylon thousands of years ago, and still exist today! I would recommend this book to anyone!

An interesting style of informing you of some of the TRUE basics of becoming wealthy,the 'hero' decides to ask a childhood acquaintance how he became the richest man in babylon and is told 'the secrets' to success.I belive this little book should be required reading at about age 10,so that every child has a guide post for financial success that tells them it can be done and these are the ways to go about it.Would also like to see this book in the hands of everyone no matter what age.Find a copy and read it,you will be glad you did.

I brought this title because I have read it previously. I also use the book as a tool for financial workshops.

It is a wonderful tool for everyone to have in their possession. If people would apply the simple principals mentioned, this society would not be the debt ridden society it has become.

The money principals cited in this book was true years ago when the book was first written, and still holds true today.

The phrases/language used may be a bit of a challenge for some readers. However, the story is about ancient times.

  A Real Review of The Richest Man in Babylon
Review created: 03/17/06

Who would have thought that the inventors of modern currency would have been able to pass down their knowledge through clay tablets? This must read teaches the secrets to making money and being successful through Babalonian parables. It is extremely readable and very insirational. Thanks for reading!

  Excellent is not good enough
Review created: 01/29/06
3 of 4 people found this review helpful.

This thin book is a MUST for anyone's library. There are seven rules to money and all of the other books on money spin off from this one! Thsi book has a very good concept, that says you can work ANY job and become rich!

I had a question I asked myself as a kid. That was. "How come I am seeing so many hard workers and yet they are dieing broke?" Well this book answers that question and much more.

If I am ever lucky enough to have kids, then they are getting a copy of this book every year until I boot them out of the house.

This is the only book that I offerred to pay a 22 y/o with 4 kids to read.

TO REPEAT:

EXCELLENT is not a high enough rating!!!!



I am not selling my copy of this book!!! NO WAY!!!!!!!

Thanks

I bought this book when I was a teenager on the advice of an accountant friend. I later lost the book, after reading it. I liked it so much I bought it a second time. I love this book for many reasons. My favorite thing is that it is told like a fictional story - an interesting novel to read. So I was never bored at any point during the story, which is so often the case on books about money or finance. This book is excellent because it is not fluff. It is not a bunch of lies or get rich quick way out schemes. It is solid business and personal finance advice. It does not take long to read it. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to get some good basic advice about the handling of money. This book falls more into the general advice category. This is a good addition to anyone's library. Advanced business people might find it too general, too, "yes I already know all that stuff"... I highly recommend this book.

  A Classic Lives On

An engaging story told in the old novella style. But with a timeless message- hard work - working smart - and saving money as a priority can lead to financial independence if not great wealth. This is a quick read, but one you won't soon forget.

This book was recommended reading. It is written in old english which some may not like, but it outlines key financial principles in story telling form. The messages were very very clear to me and an enjoyable read.

Certainly one of the best and simpliest--if not THE best and THE simpliest--method ever written to do help with personal finances. It's been around a long time and has proven itself over and over. NOT a flash-in-the-pan.
