Book Review: The Richest Man in Babylon

Happy New Year from Let's Share Blog!

It has been a long time that i was so busy and could not manage time to share good information and knowledge via this blog.

My Resolution for 2020, i commit to share good and practical knowledge to all the readers here, starting with the good books. I won't share the complete books as i respect the time and effort of the writers/authors. What i will do here is the book review, meaning that i will share how you can get from this book and whether it is worth reading or not. If you find it interesting, i encourage you to buy this book online via Amazon/Kindle (e-book version) or hard copy at any bookstore in your country though i know that you may find some e-book online. By doing this, it will show your respect to the writer.

The first book i am going to share with you is "The Richest Man in Babylon". I know that this book was written long ago and has been popular among the business people, start up, and those who keen to build financial wealth. However, until now i feel that the concept in this book is still applicable to help you guys get out of bad debt and build your financial freedom. Below is the biography of this book:

Author: George S. Clason
First Publishing Date:n1926
# Chapter: 10
Language: several languages including English and also translated in Khmer
Price in Amazon: Kindle version (USD 0.49), Hard Book: USD 13

The main ideas in this book were about sharing the tips to increase the money in your pocket through "Seven Cures" and "Five Law of Gold".

I will share my review on each Chapter from now until end of January 2020, which you can find within this Blog (english version) and Khmer version in my wordpress (https://mydestiny.finance.blog/, and my facebook page: www.facebook.com/letsharekh.

In the first chapter, it talked about the Fame of Babylon city, which it was the city located along the Euphrates River and has nothing besides land and water. However, the people of this city full of the legend and knowledgeable and smart citizens who tried to find way to win the nature, which in return change this city to the business center and the richest city in the world during that time. Though the city was strong but it could not last forever. However, though this city was destroyed and abandon, it has kept a lot of document written in the cooked plate made from sticky land the tips and wisdoms that made many millionaire during that time and this concept are still applicable during our time.

For the next chapter review, "The man who desire of Gold", i will share in the next article. Please keep visiting this blog and share this to your friend and relative.

Both skill is really important in our life; however, most people give higher values to hard skills and forget to improve their soft skill.
