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.

Excellent book

The book was fabulous but the reader was really challenging. He was fantastic with pronunciation but was so monotone it was easy to loose focus. This is a great book but the reader needs to change to make it excellent.

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.

I've listened to this book 3 times now.

this book never gets old with the wisdom it carefully illustrates. it's very easy to understand and the reader has a good voice for telling the stories. everyone seeking financial wisdom should read this book at least once.

Fabulous book.

This book was recommended to me many years ago. I bought a copy but failed to read it.
Thank you Audible for reintroducing me to this fabulous little book. I wish I had read it all those years ago, but will be listening to it regularly from now on!

Poor choice of narration

This book has been highly recommended to me to read. Being dyslexic, audible is always my go to format. However the narration of this audio book is so monotone, with an absolute lack of any inclination. A very poor choice of narrator. Their voice has the absolute opposite effect of holding your attention. After listening for 2 hours, I’ve decided to call it a day. I honestly couldn’t tell you what I’ve heard/learnt from the past two hours. I’ve just ordered the hardback copy, before going to have a nap. Hopefully, even with my dyslexia I’ll hopefully learn to understand why I must read this classic.

Great content, but could be read in a less monotone way in my humble opinion.
