Format:Paperback
This book uses parables to sell it's own methodology on how to attain great wealth, but this book is not a get rich quick scheme - in fact far from it. This book teaches you how to grow wealthy over time utilising the income you are currently on, and I don't doubt that if the principles in this book are applied with dedication and conviction then that is exactly what will happen - you will grow wealthy.
In a nutshell this book teaches sound financial planning and shows that with a little bit of preparation and commitment practically anyone can enjoy a wealthy existence. It's a good book but does tend to repeat itself a lot, which I guess is the nature of parables - telling the same underlying story in many different ways to get the point across. This book will only be of value if you intend to use the advice it gives, and if you do heed the advice it could be the most valuable book you'll ever own.

OK, so I'm young, i was foolish with my money, i have debts, and i have a low wage. My financial situation really wasn't looking too good. In fact it was getting worse and worse. This book has been my savour. Instead of trying to give you a load of get-rich-quick schemes, it gives you advice that is worth so much more than the price of the book, advice that ANYONE can apply to their everyday lives. This book doesn't tell you exactly where to put your money, but it tells you how to THINK about your money.
The even better thing about this book is that it is not a boring drabby book, it pleasantly tells you stories about different people, tells you about their problems with money and how they overcame them, and you learn from the morals of the story and then there is usually a kind of overview to sum up what you have learnt in that chapter.
This to me, is a very recommendable book, and i am glad i purchased this, i would recommend this to anybody of any age, or to anyone who is poor OR Rich!
When you have finished reading this book, you will come out with a fresh head, with fresh ideas with a whole new outlook on how you manage and control you money.

I read this book before Rich Dad, Poor Dad and can highly recommend the combination.
Rather than a guide on strictly how to make money, this book helps you to manage the money you are already earning more efficiently. By doing so will then allow you to go forth and use your savings to earn more money. Like soldiers in a battle, some maybe lost, but some will conquer and come back with captives! The parables and metaphors make it an interesting read as you have to think about the lessons given with each story more so, and the summary at the end of each chapter solidifies those lessons further still.
The 'revision and updates' for the 21st century are somewhat hard to find in the old style and slightly chauvinistic text, but the ability to apply the theories does exists in today's society.
A recommendation for those in financial hardship as well as those with more prosperous lives.
