Financial detox! August 19, 2008
'The Richest Man in Babylon' is inspirational and has radically changed my outlook on my finances. It begins by using a parable about a poor man in Babylon who seeks the advice of a wealthy man to let him know the secrets of his seemingly never ending pot of gold. He discovers that these secrets are actually quite straightforward and easily put into practice, which he does with proven results. Pitfalls are overcome and all the while we are learning the core rules of accumulating wealth, maintaining wealth and, most importantly, multiplying wealth.
Although this book is set in Ancient Babylon the rules still apply today, although now we are talking about money in the bank as opposed to bars of gold or shekels in your purse! Overall this has given me a far more balanced view of my money and life in general. It almost feels like you are cleansing your soul as you read it - a sort of mind detox! So for anyone who dreads opening letters from the bank or buries their head in the sand, this book is for you!
Brilliant August 9, 2008
This book is quite simply brilliant. I have bought copies for other people as presents and all of them really enjoyed it. Yes its message is simple, but simple ideas are nearly always the best. Do your self a favour and just buy it now.

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.
