I FEEL...We all are attention seekers by birth. Some admit it, some don't. Author of this book knew the art of attention grabbing. Pick any of his books, you'll admit it.I personally feel that one of the reasons for his success was his loyalty to his work. He's done every piece of work with same enthusiasm. Every topic he covered was such that it's the last time he's getting something to write.ABOUT AUTHOR:Phineas Taylor Barnum was an American showman, politician and businessman remembered for promoting celebrated hoaxes and for founding the Barnum & Bailey Circus.

Priceless advice, but its free!!!

Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2010

Verified Purchase

I have heard of PT Barnum, I mean seriously, who hasn't? His famous quote "There is a sucker born every minute" is known by almost everyone. I always thought he was a shady circus hawker trying to rip off kids of the dimes in their pockets so they could see the bearded lady. After reading this book, I may have to reconsider my assumption.

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.

Why buy the new books that just repeat this one?

Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2012

Verified Purchase

PT Barnum was a famous showman, but also a student of life and money.

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.

Simple and precisely written but loaded with tremendous ideas in regard to money making. Anyone can easily read and grasp the content. I was pleased to find some ideas similar to what I have elaborated in my book, 'No Human is Limited '.

More of a Pamplet than a book.

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2014

Verified Purchase

The "book" is very thin and more like a pamphlet. It is very simple, to the point, and short. It is good if you are looking for basic information, but I was hoping for more of Barnum's money making wisdom. This is mostly basic knowledge, but I can see how some would find it helpful and a good start to money education. I feel like I have learned more about his money secrets from other books he has written about his curiosities than I did with this book due to more examples and strategies. But, for a couple of dollars, it was worth the read.

20 Rules To Success

Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2006

Verified Purchase

This is a book that every young man and young lady should read - so that they ensure their safe passage along the road to success as opposed to the road to destruction.

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.

The Basics of Money

Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2022

Verified Purchase

This is a quick read about how and why to make money. There is no secret to the process. It holds no deep complexity that comes from ancient times. Just follow the steps to make money and it will come in time. That's all there is to the book, which is all anyone really needs.

PT BARNUM: one smart operater

Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2014

Verified Purchase

PT Barnum delivers good, common sense advice for developing an operating foundation for any business, especially now. I can see now why PT was such a success in his day. He knew how pick good people he could trust and gave them the range for to operate. Obviously he was well read and informed. He knew the why of his business. He knew what he wanted, when he wanted it, and at what cost. He knew who he wanted for character, ability, and vision. He knew where his business had to be to succeed. Reading it is like listening to a well intentioned uncle. And think about this. his name is still well know even today.

The Art of Money Getting

Reviewed in India on May 16, 2023

Verified Purchase

The font size is too small for reading. It is strenuous on the eyes to read. I wish the font size is increased by 2 points and a bit darker print will help readers get the message better.

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.

An oldy, but a goody.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 22, 2013

Verified Purchase

The material appertains to age-old but irrefutable philosophies about money making.
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.

Norman Lowe

Still very relevant

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 19, 2014

Verified Purchase

As a Financial Planner I would honestly recommend everyone read this book. The basic rule of money management still applies today as it did them - spend less than you earn.

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.
