Summary: Superbly written, excellent book!
Review: I truly enjoyed reading this book. It is very well written. Although old, the principles will always apply. They are built into a fictional (I suppose it's fiction) account of the lives of several citizens of ancient Babylon. Being a history buff, I loved it. I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn the secrets to becoming wealthy.

Summary: Take this advice and prosper
Review: The lifestyle and financial philosopies discussed in The Richest Man in Babylon are truly "secrets" to acquiring real wealth. I enjoyed the book because the "secrets" are not secrets at all. The methods can be used by people of all income levels. The Richest Man in Babylon outlines the most simple, time tested and true methods for meeting your wealth objectives. Any person living beyond their means can instantly become empowered by reading this book. This book is a must read for any person trying to create and preserve wealth for themselves and their family.

Summary: A common sense look at building wealth
Review: Unlike most books on wealth building, this book does not discuss difficult things like market manipulation and analysis. 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.

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.

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.

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.
