P. T. Barnum
Book Overview:
Phineas Taylor Barnum was an American showman, businessman, and entertainer, remembered for promoting celebrated hoaxes and for founding the circus that became the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. His successes may have made him the first "show business" millionaire. Although Barnum was also an author, publisher, philanthropist, and for some time a politician, he said of himself, "I am a showman by profession...and all the gilding shall make nothing else of me," and his personal aims were "to put money in his own coffers".

short book that contains universal and timeless principles of making money.
I like this part the most:
"Engage in one kind of business only, and stick to it faithfully until you succeed, or until your experience shows that you should abandon it. A constant hammering on one nail will generally drive it
This is an interesting book. About what I expected from it.
This very short book (48 pages) written in 1880 contains advice that works today. It seems more like life guidance, rather than rules for making money. Barnum includes suggestions like: watch your health, work hard, learn one vocation well....It's the sort of counsel we've all heard before.

I think the only negative critique I have of Barnum's book is simply that he somewhat dismisses the possibility of being in poverty (or at least not wealthy) merely out of happenstance. Barnum seems to believe that practicing good wisdom with money and busi
