A wonderful book. I read reviews of "The Richest Man in Babylon" that derided it as simplistic drivel. I would counter that simplicity makes a lesson more effective, not less. Wisdom is often mocked by those with less of this precious commodity.

This book presents basics of financial success and success in life in general. If you are looking for a sophisticated manual of personal finance, this is not it. But if you want to understand the foundation of most success and wealth. Here it is. It is a fast read to boot!

Uma versão de Pai Rico, Pai Pobre da decada de 20.
Começou com uns panfletos que o autor, que era vendedor de seguro, distribuia para seus clientes com pequenas parabolas com historias para você melhorar sua vida financeira e virou o livro que é um punhado dessas historias contadas pelo "homem mais rico da Babilônia".
Se você já tem algum conhecimento financeiro, o livro não vai revolucionar sua vida, mas eu gosto de "auto-ajuda financeira" porque é sempre bom reforçar os alicerces.

Quer começar a aprender finanças? leia pai rico pai pobre. 'O homem mais rico da babilonia' traz bons ensinamentos mas que poderiam ser resumidos nas primeiras 50 páginas do livro, o resto fica repetitivo e massante sem necessidade. O melhor professor é a experiencia, nenhum livro vai te ensinar mais como seus erros e acertos de testar algo empiricamente

Great lecture to get a basic understanding and guidance of how the relationship with money should be built.

A worthwhile read with good, basic, day-to-day financial advice. Dated, though. Could use a good re-write to cleanse it from a few problematic uses of language and ideas about slavery.

Sim, eu li autoajuda perdoem-me por tanto desgosto. E definitivamente não sou o público pra esse livro. Achei que ia gostar do formato de parábolas, mas no fim das contas só achei um monte de ensinamento básico com mt lenga lenga em volta, acho que preferiria algo mais objetivo sobre educação financeira

The audiobook was actually really good. By the way it was narrated, I felt like I was there in Babylon with the characters. But the whole financial message was super repetitive and nothing new or mind-blowing, so credits to the narrator who managed to make this an enjoyable reading (or listening) experience lol

Very repetitive, the financial lessons are very simplistic and some even outdated
