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.

George S. Clason's classic work still shines today.
