Publisher's summary

The most useful personal finance book ever written—updated for the modern world.

Are you ready to learn the secrets that can transform poverty into prosperity?

The Richest Man in Babylon is the most important and valuable personal finance book ever written. This book profoundly influenced successful entrepreneurs like Tony Robbins, Dave Ramsey, Suze Orman, and thousands of others.

George S. Clason wrote the original version of The Richest Man in Babylon in 1926, and it has been in print ever since.

Unlike other personal finance books that have dated tactical advice, this book teaches you the core principles that can make you rich. These principles are universal, and can work no matter where in the world you live. They worked almost 100 years ago, and they still work today.

Clason uses a set of parables set in ancient Babylon to teach these timeless lessons about wealth and climbing out of debt.

This edition was created for you. While the stories and the lessons are still the same as in the original 1926 book, the language, grammar, and terminology have been updated to make sense to a 21st century listener.

Inside this book, you will discover:

  • How to escape from overwhelming debt.
  • How to think about money.
  • How to build wealth.
  • How to go from being broke to being rich.

And much more!

If you want to learn how to become rich, no matter how little you currently make, you need this book.

Wealth for anyone who listens.

A straight forward journey from ancient times on how anyone can create wealth for themselves. Principles shared in this book can still work in today's age (2024 onward) IF applied consistently. I wished that I received this book when I was 25 instead of finding this gem at 35. This book would have given me a strong foundation in my journey of creating wealth. Give this book to any person who is actively searching for wealth! That includes you!
