Summary: Arabian Nights Meet Peter Lynch & the reader is wealthier!
Review: The Richest Man in Babylon is on my must-read list right after the Bible. The most PRACTICAL, warm, enlightening, motivating money book I've ever read. Got me off my duff and into the realities of economics. Yes, I've got money jingling in my pockets that I don't have to spend! GET THIS BOOK NOW!!! Best money you'll spend all year. I scavenge used book stores to find old copies to pass on to friends in the financial dumps. Great book! Don't let the small price fool you, this is the best financial advice you'll get. My question to all is "Is this the only book CLASON wrote???" I want more. I re-read this book once every 4-6 months for a refresher! This book and Joe Dominguez's "Your Money or Your Life" book have been the most inspiring & helpful financial books I've ever read. Sound enthusiatic? YOU BETCHA. Buy the book!

Summary: Money in the Bank!
Review: Why is the best advice always the simplest? Clason tells several stories that describe the accumulation of wealth, the acquisition of freedom, and the pursuit of happiness.If you find yourself wondering why you don't have more money put away by now, READ THIS BOOK! Buy a book for a niece, nephew, godchild, or friend. It's never too late to start using the philosophy, but sooner is better. And you shouldn't notice an impact in your lifestyle. What could be better than that?

Summary: A Book To Read Aload To Your Children !
Review: I read this book after graduating from the University of Colorado @ Boulder with a degree in finance. This one book was basically what I thought I was going to college to learn - and didn't. If I had read this book as a child, I would have been able to pay my own way through college! Sould you wish to become wealthy, add to this book Clifton Fadiman's "The Lifetime Reading Plan" - 3rd edition and his "The New Lifetime Reading Plan" - 4th edition. Don't forget the companion book to these - Adler & Van Doren's "How To Read A Book." It is said that you cannot "take it with you." What I learn as I earn, not only will I "take it with me", but I, like the authors of these books, intend to pass it on !"

Summary: THIS BOOK WORKS!
Review: When I was in 2nd grade, some 25 years ago, my teacher had the good sense to show my class a film strip (remember those???) of an Egyptian chariot maker who searched for the principles of becoming wealthy. I have lived those principles for 25 years and only just recently found the book, "The Richest Man in Babylon" from which that film strip was created. I am a living testament that this book works! I graduated from college with school loans and a savings account that I needed to borrow $15 to open. By following the advice of the ancient Egyptians have everything that I could ever want! I could kiss that teacher!

Summary: On keeping body and soul together
Review: 'The Richest Man in Babylon' by George S. Clason, is a must read for anyone thrashing about with that greatest paradox which faces us all - how to keep body and soul together. Wouldn't it be nice if we all had 'rich uncles' to give us a golden key with which to unlock the puzzle box of success in career and family? For literally millions, this slim volume has been just the key. If you are looking for a graduation gift for a special someone who deserves far, far more than a pen and pencil set, then may I suggest the following: 1) Buy this book FOR YOURSELF. 2) Read it, THEN give it as a gift. 3) Buy yourself another copy! This book is nearing one-hundred years old, yet its timeless lessons are as elegant in their simplicity as ever.

Summary: This is wealth 101, but I never learned about it in school.
Review: This book is fabulous. Follow the step by step plan and you cannot fail. Reading think and grow rich was a laborious process for me and I haven't put any of its principles into practice in my own life. This book is extremly interesting and I started following the steps as soon as I finished the first chapter.

Summary: Began to follow the principles 25 years ago; it works!!!
Review: I first read this book 25 years ago and immediately began to practice the principles in search of financial independence. Having being used to living paycheck to paycheck, it was a welcome relief to be out of debt within a three year period. I have been able to retire from a job and begin a career of self-employment with my financial future secure, self-insuring, and paying interest to no one. This book is truly a basic text that I teach from with each person I tutor.

Summary: Better than a MBA!
Review: This is the easiest book to read about managing one's personal financial affairs, and the best book I can recommend. After two degrees, I still haven't read any book or magazine that has had more impact on my personal financial situation. If one truly lives by the principles listed, they will have a successful financial future. I've given away many of these books for weddings, graduations, and personal gifts - It is worth more than any other financial gift one can give. It teaches people to be self reliant, even if their present situation seems financially hopeless. There is a solution.

Summary: One word: * Powerful *
Review: Having just finished this book, I am looking ahead to my financial future with confidence, because I am armed with the knowledge I learned from this book. The story is all about life management, from debt management to sound investment perspectives, to just good old fashioned work ethic. Why am I taking the time to write down this review? Because the knowledge within the text is *powerful*. I have always had a strong drive for creating financial security for myself, but having just graduated from college, I join the 'Real World' with a significant amount of school debt. These goals and dreams may be temporarily postponed, but I see the principles outlined in the text to be crucial to my being able to manage my income, expenses, and debt. I have no doubt that the lessons I've acquired from this text will serve me well in the future. I've already recommended it to a friend, and I am ready to do the same with my family, or just about anyone else who would have a sincere interest in improving the quality of his or her life through a sound financial management program.
