About this listen

A heartwarming series of stories and practical wisdom on entrepreneurship and wealth in the vein of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, written by a financially independent father for his ambitious son.

Soon after he opened his vineyard for business many years ago, the Wealthy Gardener noticed a puzzling fact. Everyone wanted money, but only a few people managed to accumulate it. The reason, he realized, is that most people focus on short-term gains instead of achieving lasting wealth.

As he grew old and aware of his dwindling time on this Earth, the Wealthy Gardener began to share his hard-earned wisdom with the financially troubled in his community, patiently mentoring those who asked for his practical advice on the ways of prosperity.

The parable of the Wealthy Gardener is far more than an admonishment to earn more or spend less; it is about timeless principles. As his lessons reveal, financial freedom is a means to power and control over our lives. Without money, we are subject to the demands and whims of others. With money, we are sheltered from the storm, and we can extend that shelter to our loved ones.

Poised to become an intimate financial classic, The Wealthy Gardener will inspire listeners to find their own noble purpose and relieve their money worries once and for all. No matter your income level, skillset, or unique economic disadvantages, the lessons in this book will show you the path forward. All you need is the will to work, the desire to succeed, and the motivation to learn.

Life metaphorically explained through the simple truth in gardening

As a father, I want to leave behind my life lessons to my children and future generations to come. This book essentially has written every lesson I want to pass on and more. I could not have done a better job in crystallising life wisdom into an elegant, easy-to-understand and emotionally touching story than what the author has done in this book.

So much wisdom. A touching read.

To date, no other book on finance and wealth has imparted so much wisdom in such a heart felt manner. This book has both stirred my emotions and motivated me to lift my game.

Changed My Life

I’m a true believer that the level of impact information has on your life is highly dependent on your willingness/readiness to receive it.

This book fell into my lap at the right time in my life, having a major impact on how I navigate my 40’s and beyond.

From beginning to end this book is brilliantly delivered.

I keep coming back to it whenever I feel like I need realignment in my life.

A worthy read.

Loved every aspect of this book. Everyone is bound to come out with a lesson learnt or relate on more than one level. It's not just another money making book but instead engulfs us with getting intouch with who we're, in this wealth journey.
