Through telling a very captivating story, it concentrates on teaching the time-tested methods of working hard, saving money and building wealth. In simple language it offers wisdom on how to use and save the money you have, how to earn more, and the wisdom behind smart investing.Forget the market and business how-to-get-rich books.

Rating: Summary: Eternal Wisdom for just a few dollars! Review: This is the best book out there on what you need to do to get your financial house in order. I'ver read it twice and have drastically changed my life and net worth. My goals are suddenly attainable and my bills are manageable. You can't afford another day w/o these insights!
Rating: Summary: A fondation course in WEALTH CREATION Review: This is a book you will wish you had read, when you thought you knew everything in your teenage years. It is without doubt a book that has changed my life, because it has changed my relationship with money. There is no basic premise to this book. The only words that I can find to define what it is, is that it is a foundation stone, upon which you can and will build a great finacial future, if you adhere to the advice. This book is a philosophical/practical guide to wealth creation. The book in a sense tells a story. Interwoven into this story are anecdotes, which contain messages. Within the messages are real meanings that when applied to your life and wealth, will create profound change. I would have to disagree, with some people who say that this is the only book you will ever have to read, on the subject of money. I would recomend that you also read; The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D Wattles, Born Rich Bob Proctor, Financial Peace by Dave Ramsay..if in debt & Pysco Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz, as wealth creation will also need new sub concious thinking. With these books you will create a finacial fortress, that will amaze you. I guarantee it. This book is a brilliant synopsis of timeless ideas, that is a must read for anyone who has set a goal of finacial independence. It is both a practical, spiritual and philosophical guide to wealth creation. It should be read in conjunction with the other recomended books. If it is, it will change your financial future forever. Brilliant.
Rating: Summary: Simply Great. Review: This book, without question, is one of the greatest book on money management and individual financial security that I have ever read. The rules that applied way back then, are still true to this day and the techniques and methods of both saving, investing and advising about money are very real. I would highly recommend this book to everyone, especially to the younger generation, such as myself as we can greatly benefit from it.
Rating: Summary: An Excellent Gift on the Occasion of Birthday or Marriage Review: "The Richest Man in Babylon" is one of the best books I've ever read and I recommend it to anyone. The principles are timeless, powerful and inspirational. The rules are very simple but not easy to follow! This book is Number One of my financial library. The best next book you must read after "The Richest Man in Babylon" is "The Millionaire Next Door". This will forever change your financial life. I highly recommend that every person who can read should own a copy. "The Richest Man in Babylon" is a true classic and a great gift for those just starting out, e.g. on the occasion of birthday or marriage. This book is indespensible for old and young alike.
Rating: Summary: read this book Review: I've always wondered how rich people became and remained wealthy. Now i know why! I'm 22 but i know a good book when i read one.This is the best book i've read on making and keeping money. Read it!
Rating: Summary: THE ONLY BOOK YOU'LL EVER NEED TO BECOME WEALTHY Review: I like to think that a book is only as good as its' usefulness or enjoyment to me. This book has both of these aspects in generous amounts. I have read it at least four times and highlighted the most meaningful parts to me. The work as a whole is simple, short, and entertaining. If you only have this book, and follow its' laws faithfully, your financial situation will improve greatly in a short amount of time with a minimal amount of sacrifice and extra work. I can say this from applying its' principles for just a little over two years: I have already accumulated a years' worth of income and have a sound estate upon which to build my future, I do not worry about money anymore, and can relax comfortably knowing that each passing day I grow more wealthy. This book is the keystone of my financial library and estate. I highly recommend that every person who can read should own a copy. Major debt seems nothing when compared to the stories of slaves who redeemed their freedom through simple financial laws and wisdom.
Rating: Summary: Great Start! Review: This is the first book that I have ever cared enough about to write a review on. I read on average, 8-10 books a week, and this is by far, one of the best. Solid principals, and a can't loose basis for starting a financial plan and sticking to it.
Rating: Summary: a must have for someone just getting started Review: I found this book to be a much more interesting read than other (mostly boring) financial guides on the market. The advice and instruction offered in the book are easy for anyone to use and understand. This book stresses living below your means and following a strict saving and investing program. I would highly recommend it to anyone, but I would especially recommend this book to someone just starting out. I intend to force my younger siblings to read this book!
