Summary
Although Barnum considered himself primarily a showman and his main goal was to put money in his own pocket, this little book, subtitled Golden Rules for Making Money does have a good deal of common sense about how to make money, and perhaps more importantly, how to keep it once you've made it. Of course, having been written nearly a century and a half ago, some of the advice may be a little dated, but it remains a very readable self-help book.

Good old book. Narration was tough to listen to- also every intro/ exit of every chapter was difficult.

Profile Avatar Bart Gabriel Jan 2017

Good quick read (listen). Giving common sense tips and thought provoking comments.

Profile Avatar Mollen Maswanganyi May 2019

Simple yet great concepts

Profile Avatar Denis K Mar 2018

The book is good the only thing wrong with it is the reading out at the end and start of EVERY chapter about the book & who was narrating it was really annoying

Profile Avatar Guilherme Assis Dec 2016

Simple, short and an amazing book, written more than 100 years ago, but it's principles still work today.

Profile Avatar Judith A. May 2020

It's ok for free, with every chapter they repeated the author and name of book. The good thing was it was not too long at all, that would of made it a challenge.

Profile Avatar Alta R. Feb 2020

Enjoy the concepts

Profile Avatar Hyou K. Dec 2018

simple short and fun to listen!

Profile Avatar Tomasz H. Sep 2018

Very interesting to find out that the knowledge of making money is pretty much timeless but the narrator could do a much better job. Sometimes the book was read too fast and every little chapter the intro/outro was annoying af especially by the end of the book.

Profile Avatar Michael C. Jun 2018

The advice is timeless, including much to do about saving, advertising, treatment of employees, and even a bit on ethics before ethics was even a thing in business. Great book! Too bad the audio was of such poor quality. At least it was a free download.

Profile Avatar Anthony M. May 2018

Very interesting but would like to read again. Next time straight through.

Profile Avatar Erica m Mar 2018

Interesting to here past views and what is the same and what is so drastically different.

Profile Avatar Garrett L Mar 2018

Good practical book on money. I recommend listening at 1.25 speed and the readers voice will sound much more natural. ;)

Profile Avatar Karl D Sep 2017

Wisdom worth taking the time to listen to from a man that accomplished so much during his interesting life.

Profile Avatar Xavier A Sep 2017

Agreat little book of timeless lessons, for growing your prosperity.

Profile Avatar Shaun Gordon Feb 2017

I thought the content of the book was very insightful, however the sound quality was awful.

Profile Avatar Johnny Hiatt Jan 2017

Good book. First time using an audiobook so it'll take some getting use to hearing someone else's voice rather than reading it myself.

Profile Avatar andre yeargins Nov 2016

A great book with simple metaphors/stories to get the point across. There's very helpful information that will change your life, if you follow it.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jun 2026

Waiting to start ...

Profile Avatar Readers Blog Nov 2025

Hated the narrators voice

Profile Avatar Snnizzle Jun 2025

Very educational. I liked its optimistic tone.

Profile Avatar Gabriel Dè Light Apr 2025

Classic lessons that easy to follow nowadays!

Profile Avatar AnitaC Nov 2024

Some good, common sense advice, perhaps not to get really wealthy, but at least to make an honest living and spend money wisely. The narrator may have researched how to pronounce some words unfamiliar to her, to make it a better listening experience.

Profile Avatar KK C. Nov 2024

Worth to listen to

Profile Avatar Mpilo Nkosi Sep 2024

Great Book

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jun 2024

Informative and visionary.

This book speaks of the basics that everyone needs to know.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Sep 2023

Best book

Profile Avatar Blessing M. Sep 2023

Straight to the point, no time wasted and all points are applicable today. Ever green. Thanks to P T Barnum and to the narrator.

Profile Avatar melvdlinde Sep 2023

I can’t finish this book. I’m sure it’s decent, but the narrator sounds almost computer generated and is annoying to listen to. I quit after 5 minutes or so.

Profile Avatar Quincy B. Sep 2023

The narrator is boring to listen to. And talking about the company in between every chapter is annoying

Profile Avatar Koutsonikos A. Aug 2023

The narrator is unbearable!

Profile Avatar Anonymous May 2023

how can I make money

Profile Avatar John C. Mar 2023

I would never want this person to read a book to me.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Feb 2023

A good introduction to Ford at a teenage level. The reader was bland and did nothing to increase the readers interest.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Feb 2023

Good to listen to classic.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jan 2023

Difficult to follow, narration is passively done.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Nov 2022

I am about to read this

Profile Avatar Fatima S. Jul 2022

It was a good book to listen to but tough to listen to

Profile Avatar George V. Jun 2022

still applies in today's world

Profile Avatar Eric R. Jun 2022

The book was good. The narration was decent. I enjoy this app since it let you snap notes when you make a stopping point.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Mar 2022

Don’t like it

Profile Avatar Holly A. Mar 2022

A good book and the narrator is good with the best pace for understanding

Profile Avatar Craig W. Jan 2022

great info.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jan 2022

The woman reading this book doesn’t pronounce words properly.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Aug 2021

outdated perspectives, hard to listen willingly.

Profile Avatar Pamela A. May 2021

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, regardless of the fact it was written 150 years ago. It more a book on business maners and respect, than the ‘man eat man’ business of today.

Profile Avatar Ebony M. Apr 2021

Very boring

Profile Avatar Wickham Feb 2021

Somewhat informative...

Profile Avatar PrinceAdedamola Sep 2020

Good book

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jul 2020

it was a wonderful book and really helpful resource for me

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jun 2020

Horrible audio recording.

Profile Avatar Filip Z. Apr 2020

Nice book with some handy tips to make you think about. Sound and narration not so good. Dob’t forget to put at least x1.2 speed when listening, it helps a lot.

Profile Avatar Hanif K. Apr 2020

I love you...….

Profile Avatar Anonymous Mar 2020

The book is a classic. It contains timeless information and offers advice that is still very useful today. My only concern is the narrator. She is not very good.

Profile Avatar Osman Raidhan Jan 2020

Better than I expected

Profile Avatar Anonymous Sep 2019

Little slow, but good message.

Profile Avatar Ramat A. Jul 2019

The teaching of this book are timeless and the basis of making money

Profile Avatar Jami R. May 2019

It was very dated, but the information rings true today. I thought it was good.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Mar 2019

worth it's time.
