Book Reviews of How to Be Rich
Book Review: Excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars
Instead of buying a book from someone that got rich by writing and selling self-help books, why not reading this classical? Paul Getty got millionarie when he was 26 and in the end of the 1950's he got the title of the "richest man in America" and then "the richest man in the world". In this book he presents us many thoughs that are up-to-date even today, almost 40 years after this book was originally written. A must-have if you are a wealth-seeker.Book Review: Excellent book
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an outstanding book that simply must be read by anyone wishing to start own or run a business. I found this much more inspirational than Napoleon Hill's books. I believe Getty speaks very frankly in this book and from the heart. The only quibble is that he seems impervious to the racism that permeated the entire country during his tenure while deeply concerned about the other ills of his time. That is the only reason for my 4 stars.Book Review: a hard hitting truthful book
Summary: 5 Stars
A lot of books tell you how to be rich, but they rarely work. This book is truthful and written by a man who in todays dollars would be richer than Bill Gates and Warren Buffett combined. This is the best book I have ever bought on finance. Getty doesn't cut corners on his advice. Best of all this book makes a lot of sense, and doesn't sugar coat the truth. This is something that cannot be said for many books.Book Review: Simple but not Easy...
Summary: 5 Stars
J. Paul Getty clears up some of the myths associated with the rich. He underscores the importance of maintaining values and balance while still being driven by goals and a desire to be successful.The insights shared makes the abilty to change one's social stratum seem simple and very much possible while not making it seem unrealistically easy.
A good book.
Book Review: 'Richness' has as much to do with perspective as wealth
Summary: 5 Stars
Getty brilliantly and boldly shares the attitude, ethics, backbone and independent thinking that was the key to his prosperity. Don't look merely for 'how-to-make-more-money' tips: this book transcends that. If you're looking for honest, direct insight on how to 'be' successful in any business day or age, Getty is the man!
