I came across this book while trying out new apps on my DROID X It has a Kindle reader app, so I was looking for books to try. I found this one for free. Yes, free. I must say when I saw the free price I thought "Well I am probably going to get what I paid" but I was very surprised to find this gem of a book. There is a lot of value here.
There are many lessons in this book. Do not get into debt. Do not co-sign loans without getting collateral, which is there because he feels money that comes too easily is soon lost, and that means you lose too because you are guaranteeing the loan. Treat people well. Do what you are meant to do, or at least do what interests you. Do what you know about. Do you want to be rich, or just appear to be rich?
If you are looking to be a success in business, or a success in life, read this book. If you have been trying to succeed, read this book and try to figure out which rule of PT's you are breaking, and get to fixing it.
This is a very short book and can be easily read in one sitting, even if you are a slow reader and move your lips while you read. Plus with the "free" price tag, you cannot afford not to read this book.
Now I need to find some other books on PT Barnum, because he sounds like a very interesting person.
He wrote this book long before Napoleon Hill wrote Think and Grow Rich, or before the many financial and self-help advice books of the past few decades.
Yet his advice is just as good.
Keep your expenses below your income -- but use good judgment to do so.
Avoid debt.
Don't keep up with the Jones.
Find a career that suits your talents.
Avoid tobacco and alcohol. He called tobacco "poisonous" many years before anyone connected it with lung cancer.
He starts out by saying it's easy to make money in America. Keeping it is the hardest part.
In this financial recession some will dispute the first assertion. We're no longer the frontier. Still, there's no arguing with the second. He advocates saving money and investing for income so you you're wealthier in the morning when you wake up than you were when you went to bed the night before.
Barnum gives 20 "rules" that a person must abide by in order to be successful. Given that Barnum was one of the wealthiest men in America during his day, given that Barnum was received by Kings and Queens the world over, his "rules" are worthy of attention.
If you are already striving along the path to success, you will likely find the "rule" that you have been breaking to this point, that has been holding you back. When you read this book, you'll see it, and your success will be accelerated greatly.
By the way, all 20 of these "rules" are fully applicable to today's world and environment. There is absolutely nothing that is "dated" about this book.
As an aside, this book was actually a speech that Barnum gave on the "speakers circuit" of his day. As such, it provides a great model from which a person can construct a speech of their own. You'll see how Barnum gets "personal", uses jokes, quotes, and stories to bring his speech to life and make it interesting.
Lastly, in the realm of success books, there isn't an easier book to read anywhere since this book is a mere 32 pages long.

Right now, it looks like, I don't give a damn attitude by the publisher and designer of the book.
What is the use of having a wonderful content presented in a lousy manner so that no one gets to read it.
The only readable thing in this book is the cover page.
Its simplistic, back-to-basics vernacular appealed to me especially. The tone of the tome is that of the author being a wise old head and it is interspersed with snippets of quotations of higher philisophical authority. The writer speaks directly to the reader as an American from another age, but the book's truth is universal, so it is still relevant today. I concur with the author's conclusions about wealth, and the book gives useful and practical advice, which can easily be acted upon, but it may disappoint those looking for a quick fix to any immediate money worries. Its strength is more general and all-encompassing than that, giving the reader a philosophical foundation to base their business principles on in the long term.
Today, as at the time this was written people are still making basic mistakes with money. Borrowing to fund lifestyles to live beyond their means, not laying down a provision for the future and taking up habits that suck money away.
I suggest every young man and woman read this before leaving school and pick it up every year and read it again. It's a short book that doesn't take long to read. It's lessons are powerful and shouldn't be understated.
