But honestly, I thought it was pretty unsettling. A few parts were interesting, sure, but the overall vibe felt manipulative, cold, and honestly kind of toxic. Maybe I’m missing the bigger point, but it didn’t really feel like the kind of book I’d recommend to people.

What’s your take on it?
Do people actually find it useful, or is it just one of those books that sounds deeper than it really is?

I’ve heard really good things about The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason and I’m thinking about reading it. Is it actually worth it, or is it just one of those classic finance books people recommend because it’s old and famous?
Would love to hear your honest opinions, especially if you’ve read it and can compare it to other personal finance books.
