Recommendation
During the late 1920s, writer and entrepreneur George S. Clason created a series of simple parables about the supposed financial “secrets of the ancients.” He compiled these tales, set in Babylon some 8,000 years ago, into an entertaining yet instructive book on becoming wealthy. In the 1930s, during the worst of the Great Depression, and for decades after, readers embraced Clason’s engrossing, elegant little page-turner. They learned of wise Arkad, the richest man in Babylon; of Dabasir, the slave who became a wealthy camel trader; and of Sharru Nada, the rich man who learned about working hard when he was just a youth. Each universal parable teaches invaluable lessons about wealth, how to attain it, nurture it, protect it and sustain it. These stories also convey worthwhile lessons about life. getAbstract understands why Clason’s magical little book has become such an enduring classic. If you read it, you will find that you can put its simple yet sensible lessons to work. Clason calls these lessons the “wisdom of the ages” and the “fixed stars that shine.” His common sense advice about wealth can make you rich in more than money.
