Richest Man in Babylon , George S. Clason
Yesterday I was reminded of this awesome little book after interviewing Dan Marques when he listed it as one of his favorite business reads. George S. Clason’s “The Richest Man In Babylon” is one of the best books I have ever read.
I read this book just over a year and-a-half ago when I first became interested in entrepreneurism. Though the book doesn’t directly focus on entrepreneurism and business, but the lessons learned can definitely be applied in so many different ways.
The book explores parables from the ancient city of Babylon, one of the richest cities known to man. Throughout the book you follow the lives of various businessmen who go off into the world to make something for themselves. It shows the struggles they encounter and the riches that come about from their hard work and determination.
Each chapter is treated as a different lesson and goes into depth of how each lesson can be applied to your life by using the characters from each chapter to teach you numerous lessons. The book is packed with a ton of knowledge and it’s well worth the investment (a few bucks at most).
Don’t let the size of this book fool you, the messages in this book will outlast time and can be used to help build your empire from the ground up.
