"Good old fashioned advice from a genius of a man who lived at a time when bullshit didn't get as much attention as the psycho babble we are obsessed with today. I am enjoying this book more for its nostalgic value than for the lessons on financial wisdom. This book reminds me of the kinds of books I was given as a boy from my father about becoming a man and taking responsibility. I think it is a great read for anyone who has lost their way because of TOO much advice; in short, if you want some direction and can only read one book--read this one."

The Art of Money Getting Listener Reviews
-
" A good quick little read. The advice is pretty timeless. I loved how Barnum described economy. Don't be a cheapskate and give up stuff that would benefit you in order to spend money on crap you don't want. Choose a profession that suits you and choose a good location to practice it in. Don't smoke and don't get wasted at business meetings. That pretty much sums it up but it's written in the same grand early style that makes authors like Ben Franklin superstars even today. "

" Very good book that illustrate some simple and clear lessons that if applied will certainly help. Some lessons are really basic and some could be summarized in just a sentence or two. If you find it I suggest a summary. "

— Edy, 1/10/2014 -
" Oh wow, things ain't really changed in a hundred years or so- don't think this is just "another sucker is born every minute", it's still pretty goddamn relevant to money getting in the modern age! "
— Seven, 1/4/2014 -
" This is a book that everyone should read, especially those who are going into business. It advises the reader to be a person of integrity, don't be greedy, advertise, sow and then you reap, and don't try quick methods of getting rich. "

" Moral discourse of sorts. About saving more than you earn, being honest in business, not borrowing money, woes of inherited wealth, importance of education, etc. Very prodestant work ethicy. "

" This is a great book! It's about living within your means as the real answer to becoming wealthy. Or at least avoiding becoming or staying poor. It's free for Amazon Kindle readers. "
— Richard, 12/7/2013 -
" This book combines some basic good advice with nineteenth century charm. It lacked special cleverness or special insight, either of which I thought might appear from the famous Barnum. A nice, quick read. "

" I think Barnum should have stuck to showmanship. It contains a bunch of homespun-type advice that really has not got much substance. I guess I expected something a bit more engaging. "

" Surprisingly practical and engaging. I really enjoyed this book. I went into it thinking Barnum would be a bit heavy-handed with his advice but everything was very simply presented. I wonder if all of the quotations from various famous individuals are true? Either way, I liked their inclusion. "
