Reviews

1 | Must Read

This is a must read for those people who are looking to accumulate wealth. The principles that are written inside are very simple, can be easily understood. The principles that are written are time tested as well, so you can apply them in any era.

And the best thing is you can finish it in one sitting easily. I did my reading in one Sunday.

Practice the principles inside and you are on your way to building a nice safety net for yourself.

For those who are interested in reading Sun Zi Art of War and its application in Business, do check out "Chinese Wiki"

2 | Real Classic!

I've always thought self-improvement titles are cheesy. But this book totally blew my mind!

The principles behind personal wealth management is so simple yet elusive to many. From culturing a discipline of saving at least 10% of your income, this books shows how, regardless of how much your 10% is, it can lead to serious wealth.

Clason brings his point forth via simple yet intriguing parables played by characters of Babylonian days. Other than the use of old english (thy, thee, and what have you), this book is such a pleasureable read that one shouldn't have any problems finishing it in 1 sitting.

For those who are feeling lost in the management of your personal finances, this is a must read.
