Excellent July 25, 2008
Very good book to help you examine your way of thinking to finance. Ideal for the beach when on holiday or a long plane flight as the book is difficult to put down, one of the few really good books on finance. The government should make this a part of the national curriculum in school to make future generations more responcible and sucessful with their own personal finances.
Enduring parables about how to become wealthy July 9, 2008
During the late 1920s, writer and entrepreneur George S. Clason created a series of simple parables about the supposed financial "secrets of the ancients." He compiled these tales, set in Babylon some 8,000 years ago, into an entertaining yet instructive book on becoming wealthy. In the 1930s, during the worst of the Great Depression, and for decades after, readers embraced Clason's engrossing, elegant little page-turner. They learned of wise Arkad, the richest man in Babylon; of Dabasir, the slave who became a wealthy camel trader; and of Sharru Nada, the rich man who learned about working hard when he was just a youth. Each universal parable teaches invaluable lessons about wealth, how to attain it, nurture it, protect it and sustain it. These stories also convey worthwhile lessons about life. getAbstract understands why Clason's magical little book has become such an enduring classic. If you read it, you will find that you can put its simple yet sensible lessons to work. Clason calls these lessons the "wisdom of the ages" and the "fixed stars that shine." His common sense advice about wealth can make you rich in more than money.
A small, fast read that does good July 7, 2008
The old ones are the best, as they say. The stories within are set from long ago but the relevancy still applies to modern day time. I found the writing style to be to my liking and never had a problem with the old style, in fact it was endearing at times. This book has stood the test of time just as much as the Babylonian stories, and is something I have worked in tandem with new age cosmic ordering, and it works.
Excellent advice and very interesting stories. A must-read! March 21, 2008
I wonder if we'd be in the credit crisis we're in if everybody had read this book. It's amazing that this has been around so long and the principle really hasn't changed. I follow a lot of the advice and it's a huge help.
It makes a creat companion to the Rich Dad, Poor Dad book Amazon suggests.
Inspiring book ! March 19, 2008
Fantastic book. Best financial book i have read so far. Alot of these financial books are advice from people but where i think this book was gd and stood out was the fact that he gets his point across in stories throughout the book and makes them not only more entertaining to read but simple to understand and therefore imprinted into your sub concious easier so you will think like it all the time.
Very simple principles and concepts about money which everyone should be tought. If you follow everything in this book there is no doubt you will be in a much better financial position. If you dont believe me check out how many 5 star reviews this book has got ! proof is in the pudding
