Editorial Reviews

Review

“What can a book written in the 1920s tell modern investors about their finances? A whole lot if it's George Clason's delightful set of parables that explain the basics of money. This is a great gift for a graduate or anyone who seems baffled by the world of finance and a wonderful, refreshing read for even the most experienced investor.”—Los Angeles Times

About the Author

George Samuel Clason was born in Louisiana, Missouri, on November 7th, 1874. He attended the University of Nebraska and served in the United States Army during the Spanish-American War. A successful businessman, he founded the Clason Map Company of Denver, Colorado and published the first road atlas of the United States and Canada. In 1926, he issued the first of a famous series of pamphlets on thrift and financial success, using parables set in ancient Babylon to make each of his points. These were distributed in large quantities by banks and insurance companies and became familiar to millions, the most famous being “The Richest Man in Babylon,” the parable from which the present volume takes its title. These “Babylonian parables” have become a modern inspirational classic.

Bucket List Material, A+

ByDoc of All Tradeson August 16, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

George Clarson hits the target in this classic about managing money and your life. If you follow other classics from Napolian Hill to Og Mandino you will find they all hold this book in high esteem. It reads like an alagorical story which captivates the audience desipite the historical setting in ancient Babylon. For the modern reader the prose is very commanding and I am sure the typical Game of Thrones viewer could appreciate the setting and language. I have read this masterpiece multiple time and have given it as a gift to several friends and family. Definite must read bucket list for all.

This book was recommended by the late Jim Rohn

ByTony Jo Tuazonon January 29, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is one of the most inspiring work that I have read on the subject of personal success. It strengthened my faith in hard work, self discipline, and positive attitude. This book was recommended by the late Jim Rohn, one of the greatest business philosophers of our time. I have been re-ordering this book as a gift to my children, friends, and co-workers. The 2015 edition from Magdalene Press has been rated as a better version than the other editions due to its larger print. Although I have to pay more for it, the quality is worth the higher price. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for inspiration, who is on the path of self development.

Tithe to yourself - BEST ADVICE EVER

ByDebby with a Yon May 27, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I read this book years ago. As a result I listened to one piece of advice and now will have a comfortable retirement.
Because I was a Christian I believed that I should tithe 10% of my income. I was tithing on my net income, not my gross. In my heart I knew that I should be tithing on my gross iincome. After reading this book, I decided that I should tithe on my gross, but in addition I should tithe (10%) to myself as well. That retirement is what got me through the crash in 2008 and has allowed me to purchase a small retirement property.

overcoming poor habits, such as procrastination

Bytech_books_movieson February 9, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book is deserving of its well-regarded status of one of the classics of personal finance. It teaches the values of saving, overcoming poor habits, such as procrastination, and being able to take advantage of opportunities. This book really opened my eyes to finances and has changed the way I deal with them. Thus, I recommend it to anyone who ever uses money. One of the biggest things this book teaches is that no matter what size your income is, ten percent of it is yours to keep. Another is that debt is an enemy to conquer, not a necessary evil. If you don't have problems with spending too much money no need to read it. If you have tons of money and it's not a problem, no need to read it.

By far one of my favorite books!

ByJustin Bon May 8, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I absolutely love this book and how the author uses parables to teach financial lessons. It is through these parables that the book will have its greatest impact. The concepts presented in this book shouldn't be new to anybody who has read a personal finance book, but the parables make these concepts easier to remember and relate to.

If you can get over the occasional use of Old English and seek to learn how to build, maintain and grow your wealth you should definitely buy this book.

PS - I think I have found a book to gift my friends this Christmas!

Worth It!

ByJohn Winstonon February 18, 2013

Verified Purchase

Yes, the premise is simple. Yes, we've heard it over and over again. Save your money. Invest your money. Own real estate (maybe not right now:). Yada, yada, yada...but this is not a negative review. I gave it 4 stars for reason. Some of us need to hear these laws of gold more than once in creative ways to internalize them. Maybe we've had conflicting messages from what we felt were credible sources all our life: messages like, live now...or you can't take with you.

And then there are some of us who get it right away, for some reason, maybe never having to read about or go to an event to manage money properly.

I digress! In The Richest...the same message is delivered in an interesting and unique way, that really makes more common sense (not too common these days) than anything. Some of us need nudging. Some of us need a reminder about balance, the cost of immediate gratification and the laws of gold. Some of us need a cheerleader to get us back in the game again.

This book is another one of those. I don't believe in a magic bullet, only adhering to some good words of wisdom to combat the negative voices that bombard and plague us during these times, and these are clearly words a wisdom, and not too high a price to pay for them.
