Good Listen

I enjoyed the audio. However, I have not grabbed the essence of this audiobook. I must listed again and again.

Life Changing Book

My all time favorite book. Literally changed my life with its simplicity and practical advice. Christa Lewis does an amazing job at narrating it. Her pacing and tone are pleasant and engaging.

Best book ever.

This is an amazing book full of great lessons and practical advices. After reading this book you will see your life with a different perspective.

Recommend by Top Financial People for a Reason!

A little bit of a slow read, but the information and financial advice is fantastic! It’s incredible that the same financial tactics that worked thousands of years ago are still very much prevalent today! Just goes to show that the basics of finances and building wealth truly stand the test of time.

Simplistically Powerful!

The book was so DEEP Ihave to read it again, but take notes this time. It is Amazing how simplistic the lessons, and how Powerful when applied! I Love it!

My life is forever changed!

This book is amazing, it should be taught in schools worldwide. Listening to the book on Audible really helped, I don't believe I would have grasped the moral of the story had I read it in text. A great read.

Very practical

While this book is old it made me realize the principles of wealth management have not changed much. I loved its simplicity and practicality. You do not have to be a qualified finance professional to understand it or create a plan using its principles. Very informative

Changed my life.

As i finished this book i quit my job and asked around friends and ended up leaving a job where I only made 2450 a month to now making 3900 a month within two days
Also i used to pay my creditors one coin and my self one and now thyself pays himself 3 coins and creditors 2.
Thys goal is written in stone to pay himself 7 out of 10 coins within the 4 yrs.

Great story and great additional magic story

Loved this book and finished on audible in two days. Considering the age of the writing I could not fault the story and found myself nodding along with the words. Great advice and I actually feel good having listened to this. I recommend this to anyone as I believe the information to be invaluable. I would listen to this again and again

Worth the read

Once you get over the layers of stories, it was an interesting read. Stick with it, a lot of the stories ate life lessons for today.

Must Read/Listen

Everyone should listen to this book. I would have preferred a male voice for the Richest Man in Babylon since all of the characters were male but other than that 5*****

Still a classic

My first foray into personal finance. Reading it again after 17yrs, it's still as good as new.

This book surprised me with it's power.

I thought that I would struggle to finish this book because it is written in A way that is Old language, but it drew me in with it's Powerful message and kept me hooked all the way.

The narrator dit a good job and read with feeling and emotion.I did not want to stop myself from finishing this book.

I feel that everyone should readthis book for it's message is profound.

Great lessons from both stories...Magical

I have learnt alot from both stories. My only regret is that I had not read them earlier im my life. No point crying over spilt milk. I will put into action what I have learnt from both stories startimg from TODAY!
