Book Review by Frederick M. MacGee, President, The Dale Carnegie

The book I have chosen is The Richest Man in Babylon, by George S. Clason. For anyone who wants to know about the real road to financial independence, this book is a must. It not only gives the secret to financial independence, but it gives a road map, to get you there. I have read many books that promise great rewards in the area of financial planning, but as I look back over 30 years in business I admit that financial success begin for me when I put in my life the simple principles of this astounding book. It is amazing how things work when we keep them simple. This is a small but mighty book for anyone who really wants to gain the peace of mind that comes from being financially independent.
