A review by russelmcq
The Richest Man in Babylon by George Clason
informative
inspiring
lighthearted
fast-paced
5.0
Early on, when I first started rating books, I used to hand out 5 stars fairly easy. However, over the past year or so I swore to myself that I would reserve a 5 Star rating for something that I considered truly masterful. A book I would see as remaining in my top 5 of set genre.
That, quite simply is this book. I listened to it via Audio with the narrator Grover Gardner.
I cannot recommend this version enough. In fact, I had borrowed this through my local library / Libbey and I intend to buy the audio version it was that good. Here is why:
Many, many Financial books break things down in a scientific or methodical approach. While there are great lessons to be learned, it sometimes doesn't hit the mark for me.
However, The Richest Man in Babylon takes a completely different approach. At first, when I began to listen I sincerely questioned what this had to do with finance at all. However, as the chapters continued on, I realized that like so many things told in ancient times, this was actually a breakdown of how everyone of all ages and years should treat their finances told through different stories and life lessons via fables.
It's fantastic and if you truly listen to the stories and take note, one can walk away not only having thoroughly enjoyed oneself, but richer with knowledge.
Hands down 5/5.
