Summary: Should replace any subject now taught in Jr. High
Review: What is wrong with formal education in America today? We emphasize "Moby Dick" and Creative Art over practical tools for success. I loved "The Wealthy Barber", but this book, if as mandatory in formal education as pre-algebra, would have a greater impact on America than computers.

Summary: A Must Read
Review: Essentially it is a book of parables set in ancient Babylon. It teaches all the principles of money management thru the use of parables. As you read the stories you begin to understand good and bad habits in relation to money (spending, lending, budgeting, making bad investments, the importance of saving some of what you earn). For some reason the use of parables helps you grasp the principles. Very enjoyable!

Summary: ABSOLUTELY the most significant book I have every read!
Review: I'm finding it difficult to put into words just how wonderful this book really is. READ IT and you too can totally debt-free and well on the way to becomming wealthy. In the past I've tried to teach friends who are really struggling financially how to get things under control. What I've found is that I can't possibly say it better or in a more compelling way than George S. Clason does in this superb book. Now I give away copies all the time.

Summary: A ONE OF A KIND CLASSIC
Review: I first read "Richest Man in Bablyon bac in 1975. At first I was taken back by it's compact size and story book style. This book should be read by everyone from grade school to the college level students, employees, executives and the self employed. In todays's society, where people spend most if not all of what they make, this book is mre valuable than ever. Other books I would recommend are; "The Millionaire next Door" by Dr. Stanley et all, "More Wealth without Risk" and "Financial Self-Defense" by Charles Givens. Great book. A must read for anyone seeking financial independence,

Summary: The single most valuable book on finance, yet fun to read.
Review: This book should be given to every person entering Junior High School to prepare them for life. But the funny thing is that most adults don't know these practical lessons for life. Follow this simple strategy for living and you will be rich--it's inevitable. A very interesting story to read, teaches the most valuable lessons one can learn about saving and investing. If I could only have one of my 115 invetment books, this is the one that I would pick. I give copies to friends and reread it each year. The best single book on personal finance to own. Buy it!

Summary: Useful, informative and highly entertaining
Review: I found the book highly entertaining to read, and the suggestions are certainly "classics." The book is rare in several aspects: talks about saving yet setting aside some for spending as a necessity; explains the ideas in a very interesting narrative format - makes one feel, think and visualize the actions of ancient times, almost like watching a movie; short concise, not overwhelming - it seems books these days are getting longer and longer. Overall, it is an outstanding book to read for all ages, from grade school age children to adults.

Summary: FUNDAMENTAL: a portion of ALL you earn is yours to keep!'
Review: Excellent-should be required reading for all! *****This is an excellent book. I read it back in 1998, what a pity I hadn't found it when I had FIRST started to work! It verbalises what one needs to be aware of in the management of finances. In other words it tells you HOW to acquire AND KEEP wealth! I immediately streamlined my finances upon reading this book (completed within 3 hours). I have not looked back since! It was a life altering moment. I am now and have been debt free with assets and savings for retirement! [Which I am still doing] I am following the plan rigorously. Life's lessons " Help your friend in such a way that his burden does not become your own!" This little parable ahs helped me a thousand fold! " Life is good do not be afraid to spend and live niggardly" Just a *couple* of the POWERFUL stories and statements that are packed in this book. I now give copies as Christmas gifts and wedding presents. Unlike many recent advertising marvels, this book has SOLID information that you can use IMMEDIATELY to acquire wealth!
Additionally, it has good morals and values to live by. I read it at least once a year to keep me focused. This one of those gems that can change your life and make you wonder...what was I doing before I was exposed to this? BUY the book! It is money well spent.
