Story4.5 out of 5 stars 183
In this "mini-book", P.T. Barnum gives practical rules that allowed him to stay out of debt and to acquire wealth. The "rules" are illustrated by homespun stories. While some of these of this may seem like common sense, it is the kind of common sense that Wall Street, the government and many ordinary people seem to have forgetten about in recent years. This is a small book but one that could have large consequences for your financial future.

Very thought provoking. Loved it.
Considering that the book was written in 1910, and that some of the examples the author uses to convey his precepts are irrelevant, one feels that what he claims could actually work even in our age. I've read it at least four times and I'm definitely converted. I'm not rich yet, but when I am, I will let you know.

Plain english
If you could sum up The Science of Getting Rich in three words, what would they be?
Can do approach
Have you listened to any of Jim Roberts’s other performances? How does this one compare?
No
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No
Any additional comments?
The Author presents a straightforward solution. It's practical and I'm in no doubt of the merits of the proposals - it works!!
I had it on constant replay and revisit it for time to time as a reminder or to renew my focus but the book presents a can do solution in plain English.
I'm definitely a fan.

Try others first
Not a science of getting rich, in fact not science but theology. For a much better expression of largely the same ideas, without the dogmatic overtones, listen to "The Secret". Not worth the money.

Don't buy this version of the book
Would you try another book written by Wallace D. Wattles or narrated by Jim Roberts?
Written yes, narrated - hell no.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
By being the worst ever
You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Good thing was I first listened to the one by Kevin T. Norris first.
Any additional comments?
Please just remove this version, for all other people sake.
