The first book everyone should read!!

Wow! Truly eye opening and connects the dots of life. This will be the first book my children read (listen to). If you could only read 1 book in your life, make it this!
For the audible version my only complaint would be the narrator. This an amazing story and the narrator did not do it justice.

Awesome storytelling to get a point across!

Would you consider the audio edition of Richest Man In Babylon - Original Edition to be better than the print version?

Audio is good if you don't have time to sit down and read...

What did you like best about this story?

Applying age old wisdom to everyday problems.

What does Christa Lewis bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

At first my husband and I were sure we could not listen to the readers voice through a whole book....but after the first 10 minutes we didn't notice the monotone! Just being honest and I am so glad we kept going.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, we had a car trip and wanted to finish it before we returned home.

Any additional comments?

Good story- good ideas and wisdom.

Great book

This was the first finance book I was introduced to. I can’t stop going back to it. Hands down the best finance book I’ve read and listened to.

There are many lessons in this book.

My father encouraged me to read this classic and I am so glad I did. This book is a timeless, encouraging, and thought provoking.

I want more!!!

Very good read, well narrated, good advice, but falls just a tiny bit short, but maybe the author of picks up in his other somewhat related writings.

The author really hammers in the saving bit with the save 1/10 of all earnings to invest, ie make work for you as your golden slaves, but I want more examples and philosophy on how to invest, with what you've saved. There is some very basic information, but it's not quite satisfying, and maybe that's because the book is about a hundred years old referencing a society from antiquity.

I will continue reading to the authors other writings in hope that I will find my satisfaction.
