This review is from: The Richest Man Who Ever Lived: King Solomon's Secrets to Success, Wealth, and Happiness (Hardcover)

Steven Scott's book is full of pearls of wisdom from King Solomon, the richest man who ever lived.

The author had lived a life of failure up to the point that he was challenged to read one chapter of Proverbs (one of Solomon's books of wisdom) daily. This plan allowed him to read through the entire book monthly (some months he had to read two chapters a day as Proverbs has 31 chapters). He read through the entire book numerous times and has had great results.

What Scott experienced was life changing. He transformed from a failure to a super successful person financially and otherwise. During his journey in learning from Solomon's wisdom, Scott categorized the Proverbs into 46 categories. He has included 15 of those in this book.

This is a terrific book that certainly has the potential to be life altering for those wise enough to apply its precepts. Highly recommended.

If you only real one book this year, this is the one. Steven Scott has found Gold and reproduced it in this book. The first or second chapter took my business to the next level. I had to read it twice just to begin to glean what was being taught. I loaned it to my boss and he bought 15 copies to give to his employees!! Very Powerful!!! There is no other book that even comes close to this profound book.

Really powerful book containing wisdom that has withstood the test of time. Not only has everything been written in understandable, down-to-earh language, the teachings of the Proverbs are actually fun to read.

Regardless of your religious believes, this book teaches you without judgement. After completing the book, make a summary for yourself and look at it - preferrably every day - so you will breathe knowledge. And when it's in your system, aim for wisdom.

It's too short to tell whether it has changed my life so far, but it has at least enriched it.
