Change your life and be happy

Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2018

Verified Purchase

Looking back on the last 50 years of my life, one of best things that ever happened to me was my wife's uncle telling me to buy and read this book. That was a year before I shipped out for Vietnam.

A few years after I returned, I remembered his words when we found out he had passed and I bought the book. We had two kids, paycheck to paycheck, and no savings. I read the book and it hit home; hard. Slowly, week-by-week, we started to build savings. Now, we have a good retirement, well off and secure. This book started it off.

Easy to read and understand, timeless message. This book should be required reading for all school kids. It doesn't espouse greed like Think and Grow Rich. It simply teaches that you already have the ability to grow your prosperity from what you already have.

READ THIS BOOK and change your life forever.

I buy this book by the case and give it to all the young people (14-25) in my neighborhood. It's an easy read and gives seven basic principles on saving and investing money. I was raised on the 10% rule and have passed it on to the next generation. It is written in parable form, so it's interesting as well as instructive. I highly recommend this book of wisdom for the youth in anyone's life.

The Only Book to Guarantee Wealth

I've read this book many times and I try to read it every year so as to refresh my memory and ensure my path. When I first read this, it was an amazing epiphany and I immediately took action. I was broke, about to lose my house, and looking for a way out of the hole I'd dug myself into. The rules within this book works well! I live in Hawaii now, in a nice suburban house, without worry of money. I am always surprised when I'm handed my next paycheck because I no longer count the days to each. Many thanks to the writer, the translator, the archeologist, and of course, the Babylonians!

Do yourself a favor and buy this dang book. The lesson(s) in it are priceless and I would have gladly paid more for the insightful words within it. This book has catapulted me into reading many more books on the subject of Finance and I wish I would have done it much, much sooner.

It's a short read and the entire thing is basically written in old-school proper english where at some times it feels like you're reading backwards – but it is worth it. You may have to re-read a couple sentences to comprehend the info or maybe even re-read the whole book but I urge you to do so.

It does not matter your situation in life, you CAN live within your means, save money AND pay off debt. Nothing worth having is easy so read the book, make a plan and change your financial future.

DON'T BUY THIS NOW REVISED & UPDATED FOR THE 21ST CENTURY VERSION!!! PLEASE!!!

Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2016

Verified Purchase

Just thought I should write this review as a warning to others. The Richest Man in Babylon is one of my favorite books. It's a great "back to the basics" look at finances. When I'm off with my finances, I dig out my copy of this book. I thought about doing a study group with some members of my church. So, I wanted to check this one out because the "Now Revised and Updated for the 21st Century" part of the title led me to believe that it would be a more modern version maybe removing the thee's and thou's... kinda like an NIV vs KJV of the Bible. I WAS MISTAKEN!!!

It's both taller and wider than my current beat up version but the font they used is soooo small that I couldn't bring myself to make a detailed comparison- unlike the cover and back cover which are huge in comparison. They jammed 160 pages into 88 POORLY!!! I've never sent a book back before, but this one must go back!!!

So get the book, but not this version!!!

Not for the modern, scientific millennial or people in general

Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2019

Verified Purchase

This book was written like a religious text, the bible for instance, not based on objective facts. It cites no modern day individuals who actually lived and earned large sums of wealth. For all the reader knows, the author could have scribbled down his opinions and combined them into a story supposedly based on ancient texts. An individual who likes to read text phrased like scripture would enjoy this book, however, I still could not recommend this book to them as the author makes no effort to establish his own credibility or that of the individuals in the book. For this reason, I can only assume that all of the information presented in this book is fictional and therefore untrue. I would instead recommend Rich Dad Poor Dad, The Millionaire Next Door, or The Total Money Makeover.

I regret not reading this book when I first started earning
Note that this book doesn't contain any information on how to invest if that is what you are are looking for, it instead focuses on the habits one must cultivate in order to have more control over your finances. The book conveys this via short stories which are packed full of wisdom and are not boring to read through.
Must Read for anyone who just started a job and is clueless about how to handle his finances

A very famous book written on wealth...

Reviewed in India on August 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

Great book! The author, writes about the wisdom of wealth possessed by ancient Babylonians.All historians agree with the fact that babylon was the richest of all of the ancient kingdoms, although it was located in the middle of a dry, arid desert.The information contained in this book is acquired by the careful transliteration of the ancient clay tablets discovered by archeologists over the many years after the discovery of the ruins of this once great kingdom in ancient mesopotamia.The first section deals with advice on money-making by a very rich & powerful man named Arkad.He is undoubtedly the richest man in Babylon for he even lends gold to the emperor in the times of crisis. The later half describes tales which are directly taken from the ancient tablets, all containing profound financial advice on the art of wealth-incremement.
150 odd pages, took me about 5 hours to finish it.Go for it, its really a good book unlike all those other books on the same subject that promise to provide a lot but is full of pseudoscience & BS.

Lessons my father should have taught me. First class self reflecting book.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 28, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is a book I should have read in my early twenties not now in my mid forties! Simple wealth creating principles. Pay day today and I have "paid" my self promptly as the book suggested.
The old style English can be slightly off putting but as a KJV reader it was no problem.
It is otherwise easy to read, laid out in short stories and highlights at end to drive home points.
God help me, I will be teaching my children this book. Highly recommended for hard workers like me but with lean purses.
