Okay, back to the book reviews!  I’ve been extremely busy lately and haven’t been reading as much.  Other priorities have popped up and a lot of big, fun and exciting things have been going on with Lifestyle Transformations recently.  I can’t wait to make a few exciting announcements in the next upcoming weeks.

The book I read recently is on the topic of finance.  You’ve heard of it before, I’m sure, it’s called Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki.

I knew of this book years ago.  In fact, my sister read it.  It was always on my list of books to read, but it wasn’t until I was in the book store and that I’ve begun taking more interest in developing my financial education that I decided to pick up this book.

After learning about Robert Kiyosaki through watching videos of him on YouTube, I couldn’t be more of a fan.  Through Rich Dad, Poor Dad I learned a lot of valuable lessons.  I’m going to go through a few of them here.

The Richest Man in Babylon Review

Published by Stefan on May 24, 2008 in Miscellaneous and Reviews. 1 Comment

Lately I’ve decided to pick up a few books on the area of finances and money.  It’s such an important subject, and to be honest, has probably been the least of my priorities in my life thus-far.  I’ve always focused on my relationships to an extensive degree, as well as health and my emotional well-being.  But, for some reason, money hasn’t ever been a motivator for me or a concern.

I never really had money growing up or anything, or have I been rich or financially free by any means.  Perhaps I just haven’t experienced enough pain to want to make strides or changes in this area.  But, after re-evaluating my life and where I’m at several months ago, this is an area that I’d like to learn more about and master, as for every other area of life.

I’ve read a few finance books, such as the Wealthy Barber and others.  I decided to pick up the book called The Richest Man in Babylon, by George S. Clason, which I heard is to be a classic.

I found it to be a very interesting and fascinating book.  The lessons and principles were pretty simple and to the point, however, I found the story to be more interesting.

The book consists of different stories back in the Babylonian days.  One in particular, of a slave that was in debt and extremely poor, who sought out the rich to learn the wisdom and knowledge on how to become wealthy.

The lessons which he had learned and applied to his life were remarkable, and this slave had managed to turn his life around by applying the principles and lessons he had learned.
