Features: The wisdom of humanity is in the Jewish mind, and the wisdom of the Jews is in the Talmud. Without understanding the Talmud, you cannot understand the Jews; without understanding the Jews, you cannot understand the world. The Bible makes everyone submit to God's will, but the Talmud makes wealth serve our choices. — Henry Ford, Chairman of Western Oil Corporation In essence, I believe it was the Talmud that changed my perspective on wealth, and I think it changed my life. — John D. Rockefeller The Talmud is the most important thing in my life. Whether in Britain or Russia, I could always find my place by understanding it. — Abramovich, the richest man in the UK The Talmud embodies the wisdom of Jewish history and culture. It is the crystallization of the efforts of over 2,000 Jewish scholars over 10 centuries and serves as a navigation map for the lifestyle of the entire Jewish nation. Nurtured by it, Jews have achieved unparalleled success in many fields, including religion, philosophy, science, and business. This book focuses on extracting 62 proverbs from the Talmud about how Jews do business and conduct themselves, divided into two parts, and elaborates on them with numerous vivid examples. It reveals the unique Jewish views on money, business techniques, and ways of dealing with others, offering a glimpse into the secrets of Jewish excellence. The Jewish nation has produced giants: thinkers Marx, psychologists Freud, scientists Einstein, and tycoons Rockefeller. Jews have dominated every field; what is the secret? The entire answer lies in one book — the Talmud. The Talmud is an encyclopedia of Jewish spirit, providing Jews with life principles and moral norms for dealing with others, doing business, and education, and shaping their worldview. The Jewish nation is called a "book people," meaning that the lives of Jews are confined within the scope of one book — the Talmud.
