The Richest Man in Babylon – George S Clason

Is a book that I was meaning to read for a long time. In fact, I think it was over 3 years ago I was given the book by my mother. I can now say, that it is one of the books I have already finished this year.
The book is written in a way that you might feel your reading shakespeare, but I think it was only trying to give the impression of how people addressed each other in during this time.
What is the book about? Well, money. How to use your money in a way that will brings a comfortable way of life. It’s not about how to make a million dollars over night. It’s a collection of teachings handed down to help bring, keep and manage your wealth.
One simple idea that I am even using now myself (and it does help me manage my finances better.)

“I started to make my fortune, when I realised that one tenth of my gold was mine to keep”

Why do I talk about this book? Well, money management is easy for some and damn hard for others. This book gives simple ideas that stand up even today. When your money management is more under control. You may find yourself that little bit less stressed. You might find that you realise, I can’t go buying this and that as yet, so I have to practise patience.

Is it the best book out there? Maybe not, it’s definitely not the only one of money. However it is a short book, cheap to buy online, as well as an audiobook and maybe the best start for most people out there into better money management. Give it a read and you may find it works for you

If you are like me and find reading a book something of a task or you can’t seem retain the story, information or vision what is going in the pages. Give an audiobook a go. I did. I found this a better way for me to not only retain the information, but also kept me, (well I would say reading, but anyway) kept me going. Listening to someone reading the book out was almost like story time! One of my recommended reads is this book. Why we get fat and what to do about it by Gary Taubes.

I heard of this book from listening to a couple of podcasts interviews by numerous strength coaches. So when I finally signed up for an audiobook, it was the first one I downloaded and finished in a week.

In the pages it will ask you to think critically about foods. The relationships with medical world and what they deem to be “the norm” for the everyday diet regardless of the evidence and the health issues that are around today still. Why calories are rubbish and how alteration of them has not worked based on scientific studies, information and research over the years and decades. Why over eating isn’t causing our obesity. The rest I will leave up to you to find out, but I hope this has peaked your interest.
It’s not a diet book, but it may change the way you think about the food you eat and they way you eat it.

Remember educate and dominate.
