Comments by amazon customers about The Richest Man in Babylon

The Richest Man in Babylon
I have read many books on building wealth. I wish I would have read this book when I was 16. If I could have adopted the techniques in this book as a young man just starting my life in the working world, I would have been retired by now in my early 40's. There is no time like the present to learn new wealth building techniques to commit to being wealthy in the near future.


Personal growth
Buying from Amazon.com is very easy and the book I ordered is The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason. The book is great, loved reading it and will, when I need to, order other books from this site.

Timeless Wisdom
The Richest Man In Babylon is an easy read; suitable for a young teenager. Yet the philosophy that it expounds is invaluable to anybody that wishes to enjoy financial security. The stories within this small volume explain, in simple terms, basic principles for the accumulation of wealth. It shows that these tenents are so straight-forward that even the lowliest worker on the most meagre stippend, a slave, can achieve great wealth by following these simple guidelines. In a literray sense the plots are shallow and the language is clunky. Nonetheless I rate it as a masterpiece. After all, one of the many benefits of reading is to gain knowledge and new ideas, and what greater benefit than to instill in the reader a simple means of becoming wealthy?

This book should be required reading!
I am a financial advisor and read a lot of books on personal finance and wealth. I have read most of the greats: rich dad, millionaire mind & next door, etc. I think it is the best I have ever read! This book should be required reading for everyone, especially in high school and college. The principles taught in this book will change your life if you apply them. If you are in business, want to build wealth or just want to secure your financial future, you should definitely read this book. Those reviewers who have attempted to summarize the principles in this book are cheating you out of the true experience and life lessons you will gain from reading this book. Get it, read it, you won't want to put it down. Its an easy read, most people read it in about 2-3 days. If you read this book and choose not to adopt the principles you are retarded. Those people who gave the book one star reviews are stupid! I teach personal finance and have decided to make this book a precursor to the course.

Infuriating, elementary, excellent
This is an almost insultingly obvious book. Yet it is clearly worth at least four stars. The lessons that it teaches should be obvious to any person with a rudimentary understanding of compound interest. In a sentence, if one wants to get rich, they should work hard, save a proportion of their income, and invest it sensibly (not being swept away by big words and small deeds.) None of that is rocket science. This book is a reminder. A repetition of powerful things already known, but often ignored. Through simple words, it is life altering book. Regular savings are the foundation of financial success. In contrast to our age of obscenely misinformed property and stock investment books, it is great to read such a sensible, if obvious text.
