 Written on November 16, 2008 Summary: ONCE YOU HAVE READ THE BIBLE, THIS IS NEXT How do you place a price on brilliance? This short read is outstanding and I would recommend it to anyone including every junior or senior high school student in the United States. More books like this one and all of the Og Mandino books or any of the Napolean Hill books. And, let's not forget W. Clement Stone books. The Richest Man in Babylon Written on October 28, 2008 Summary: Intense wisdom delivered in a concise 144 pages Intense wisdom delivered in a concise 144 pages. Confession: For many years, I've known of this book but was not bothered to read it since I thought, well, it might just be another how to make a million dollar book. Then after some thoughts I figured, well, there's not much harm picking it up and have a look, if I'm not convinced, I can always put it back, with little loss of time. But in retrospect, my such reaction was analogous to that of Bill Gates's attitude towards Warren Buffett prior to 1991 :P (I'm not comparing myself with them, just the situation!) In case you don't know, Bill Gates had thought of Warren Buffett another your-friend-recommendation-of-smartest-guy, until his mother says Kay Graham of Washington Post was there, he went along, and the rest was history. Lest you think I wrote all those just to boost word count, just two short comments on 'intense wisdom' and 'concise 144 pages': 'Intense wisdom' because there's no word wasted in the book, so read with full attention (and respect accorded to a prayer, if you will), better in a quiet library than in noisy subway; 'concise 144 pages', more so considering the fact that the book is smaller than A5 size! If you can practice the advice expounded in the book with fanatic devotion (I guess nothing less is satisfactory), you're on your way! Written on October 14, 2008 Summary: I'd recommend this to others I loved the style of writing. This book shaves finances down to the basics. It made money management extremely easy to understand and entertained me at the same time! Written on October 8, 2008 Summary: Babylon sounds a lot like Bakersfield The Richest Man in Babylon was first published in 1929 by George S. Clayson, but written as if it had been translated from tablets taken from the ancient city of Babylon. Though the device is similar to something H.P. Lovecraft would use to establish credibility in a horror story, here it lends weight to his lessons and principles about how to create wealth. The basic principle boils down to save a dime from every dollar, but there are more nuggets of useful advice that would work wonders if you would but follow them faithfully. It is a bit jarring to the modern ear when Clayson talks of slaves and slavery, but when you think of it, being in debt instead of saving and having your savings and investments working for you is a kind of financial slavery. Like the 'drinking gourd' in the sky, if you follow the principles set forth in 'The Richest Man in Babylon' it will free you from the shackles of debt. I liked the last part where it described how Babylon was able to flourish despite not being a major port and not even having lots of natural resources such as forests or minerals. Through an ingenious system of irrigation and hard work, as well as systems of writing and record keeping, Babylon became a center of commerce. Kind of like Bakersfield, I'm thinking. 10 Books for Further Study on Wealth Building and Personal Success How to Be Rich The Millionaire Next Door As A Man Thinketh Seven Pillars of Wisdom: A Triumph The Way to Wealth The Art Of War Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money--That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not! Gold Ahead by George S. Clason (the author of The Richest Man in Babylon) Think and Grow Rich The Essays of Warren Buffett: Lessons for Corporate America, Second Edition Written on September 11, 2008 Summary: Richest Woman in Bakersfield I am not the richest woman in Bakersfield--yet! But with the help of this and other books I have been reading lately, I should get there soon. This is a short and enjoyable read, as it is written as if it were taking place in ancient Babylon, but the timeless principles still apply today. An example from the book is to save one tenth of everything you earn, and then put your savings to work so that money will earn more money in investments that aren't too risky.
