P. T. Barnum's career of showmanship and charlatanry was marked by a surprising undercurrent of honesty and forthrightness. His exuberant autobiography forms a happy combination of all those traits, revealing the whole story of his world-famous hoaxes and publicity stunts. Here is a pageant of 19th-century America's gullibility and thirst for marvels, as told by the master of revels himself.  

In the United States, where we have more land than people, it is not at all difficult for persons in good health to make money. In this comparatively new field there are so many avenues of success open, so many vocations which are not crowded, that any person of either sex who is willing, at least for the time being, to engage in any respectable occupation that offers, may find lucrative employment.

Phineas T. Barnum considered himself primarily a showman, but his main goal was to put money in his own pocket. Award-winning narrator Mike Vendetti reads The Art of Money Getting, subtitled Golden Rules for Making Money, for you. It has a great deal of common sense about how to make money and, more importantly, how to keep it once you've made it. A little dated, but it remains one of the best self-help books ever written.

In this "mini-book", P.T. Barnum gives practical rules that allowed him to stay out of debt and to acquire wealth. The "rules" are illustrated by homespun stories.

This is a small book but one that could have large consequences for your financial future.
