Publisher's summary

"As a young man, I came across George S. Clason's classic 1926 book The Richest Man in Babylon, which offered commonsense financial advice told through ancient parables. I recommend it to everyone." (Tony Robbins, in Money: Master the Game)

The ancient Babylonians were the first people to discover the universal laws of prosperity. In The Richest Man in Babylon, George S. Clason reveals their secrets for creating, growing, and retaining wealth.

Through these entertaining tales of merchants, tradesmen, and herdsmen, you'll learn how to save more out what you earn, get out of debt, put your money to work, attract good luck, choose wise investments, and safeguard a lasting fortune.

Great storytelling!

The story helps keep you entertained as the book covers some very basic yet extremely fundamental concepts that everyone should be using with their finances! I especially enjoyed the section with the gold lender.

basic principles of accumulation of wealth

This book relates the principles of wealth creation in an enjoyable, anecdotal form using examples from antiquity. I think it is a great introduction to wealth accumulation. I have bought copies for my grown children. Hopefully they will learn the lessons from the book.

Excellent wisdom regarding finances

This book should be required reading for all. The narrator is good but my favorite narration of this book is by Richard Farrone.

ALL YOU'LL EVER NEED

This book changed my life no jokes I'm very serious. It's simple enough for a child to understand but the depth can keep your mind busy for years. I listen to it at least once every 3 months.

If you make this book your companion your finances will be sorted its that simple.
