In 1926, he issued the first of a famous series of pamphlets on thrift and financial success, using parables set in ancient Babylon to make each of his points. These were distributed in large quantities by banks and insurance companies and became familiar to millions, the most famous being "The Richest Man in Babylon," the parable from which the present volume takes its title.

So many good financial principles!

I like how this book used parables to teach its financial principles. Most books just speak so plainly about that facts that it becomes boring and starts to put me to sleep. I found this book to be engaging because of the way the information was presented.

Wisdom!

The book is full of wisdom but this audiobook version for me is a bit lacklustre. I don't think the narration does it justice, sorry to say. For me, the narrator would do better with something requiring a soft and friendly voice, where this book would do better with a more concise, clear voice. Just saying it as I hear it. I think the audio set-up needed to be better.
