Exceptional!

I absolutely loved this book. The most memorable is the awareness of the reason I am not wealthy now. It is as simple as I never sought to be wealthy. I will continue to practice the 7 cures for a lean purse.

Conveys the Basics of Finance in a Fun Way

I have listened to this story multiple times and each time, I find it allows me to take a step back. In the world of finance, it can be easy to get swept up in the crowd and start making poor financial moves, but listening to this story allows for me to take a step back and observe my own actions. It allows me to go back to the basics without being lectured at (as most books do). I can guarantee that this story is one that I will listen to listen to over and over again in order to keep the right mindset when it comes to my finance and will suggest to others when they need help with theirs.

Highest Recommendation

This is my favorite book I have listened to it over fifteen times. The men in this book from a civilization 6000 years ago were very wise and the carving on clay tablets offers proof. Knowledge of how to get wealthy is easily attainable, this book offers the motivation and psychology to do it. I could listen to this author speak about anything, a top notch experience awaits don't delay and buy this book immediately and then tell your friends about it.
