So many good financial principles!

I like how this book used parables to teach its financial principles. Most books just speak so plainly about that facts that it becomes boring and starts to put me to sleep. I found this book to be engaging because of the way the information was presented.

Been wanting to read this book

I been having my eye on this book for a while and am glad I Finally got the chance to listen to it. This is a classic and everyone has to listen to this book once.

This is a classic

Everyone has to read this at least once if they are serious about finance principles—lots to apply to the modern world. The narration is a bit echoey. A bit of acoustics is a bit lively, but it's not unbearable. Shame as the narrator has a good voice.

Fundamental truths of wealth-building

Highly recommended for anyone who wants to build wealth with purpose and clarity. It's a book I will return to again and again, and it's one that I'll be recommending to friends and family for years to come!

Good, practical financial advice

This audiobook breaks down money management in a way that anyone can understand. The advice is simple, but it sticks with you; especially through the stories that make the lessons feel relatable. I didn't expect to get so hooked on a book about finances, but the parables really make you think about how you handle your money. It is not just about getting rich but it is more about building good habits that lead to long-term success. The narration is smooth although the sound quality sounds a little bit off to me. If you're looking for practical financial advice that’s easy to follow, this is definitely worth a listen.

Timeless financial wisdom

This book provides timeless financial wisdom and principles that we can all learn from and keep in the backs of our minds at all times to grow our wealth and keep it. The advice is given in the form of parables set in ancient Babylon. If you enjoy learning through storytelling, then this is the audiobook for you. And even though the parables are set in ancient Babylon, all of the lessons are super relevant in today's day and age.

yeah

It’s ancient Babylonian guys giving solid money advice—stuff like “save a portion of what you earn” and “invest wisely.” The parables make it easier to get, even though the old-school language can be a little weird. Great for anyone starting out with personal finance

On of the Richest Books on Finance!

Wisdom-packed book with a practical guide to wealth. Speaks volumes about the relevance of financial principles and wisdom. It allows you the capacity to change your life if you adhere to them. Without a doubt, one of the richest books on finance!

Wisdom!

The book is full of wisdom but this audiobook version for me is a bit lacklustre. I don't think the narration does it justice, sorry to say. For me, the narrator would do better with something requiring a soft and friendly voice, where this book would do better with a more concise, clear voice. Just saying it as I hear it. I think the audio set-up needed to be better.

Good info, difficult listen

The entire book is read in old English like Bible times. I’m not going to lie. It was a struggle. I recommend listening to the blinkist version.
