Book Description:
"Personal-finance author and lecturer Robert T. Kiyosaki developed his unique economic perspective from two very different influences--his two fathers. One father (Robert's real father) was a highly educated man, but fiscally poor. The other father was the father of Robert's best friend--the Dad who was an eighth grade dropout who became a self-made multi-millionaire. The lifelong monetary problems experienced by his "poor dad" pounded home the counterpoint communicated by his "rich dad." Taking that message to heart, Kiyosaki was able to retore at 47. RICH DAD, POOR DAD, written with consultant and CPA Sharon L. Lechter lays out Kiyosaki's philosophy behind his relationship with money. RICH DAD, POOR DAD opens readers eyes by:
- exploding the myth that you need to earn a high income to be rich
- challenging the belief that your house is an asset
- defining once and for all an asset versus a liability
- explaining what kids need to know about money for their future financial success"

Robert Kiyosaki is a fraud with a documented history of lying about his background, his wealth, and his financial abilities. He advises readers to engage in illegal insider trading and tax fraud. Read http://www.johntreed.com/Kiyosaki.html for a pretty thorough debunking of his claims.

Interesting book and provides a different perspective on money. However it is your standard self help book with lots of stories that are supposed to motivate you but no real meat.

If you are worried about managing your financial future, then this book helps to put things in perspective. While there are many \"how to\" books, this one teaches you how to have your money work for you.

Very interesting book on how to think about the process of making money. Probably very different from what most people have been lead to believe.

I have read this book and it has opened up my mind to gain a better understanding on how to gain my financial freedom. It just goes to show that a person does not need a college degree to become successful. Take Bill Gates, for example, he dropped out of Harvard. For those who are looking for a step by step outline on "how to become rich," then this book is not for you. This book helps people develope a strong mental foundation to prepare them for success. I truly recommend this book!

What an excellent, clear explanation of how to make money work for you! I loved his comparison of how poor people think versus how rich people think. Throughout the book, this stark comparison made it obvious that initial sacrifice will have long term payoffs and confidence in the future, whereas instant gratification means long-term anxiety over the future. I wish this was required reading for all kids and parents.

This is really a great book to learn how to gain better control of our personal income and how we apply it to our lives. I also think that every child graduating from high school should have an opportunity to get involved with Robert Kiyosaki's teachings. It could make a difference in their futures.

Though this wasn't my cup of tea, exactly, I know it helped some very close friends of mine learn more about their finances. This book, however, is no Idiot's Guide; it's a little more complex.
Sabrina M. (this book is very successful! i say this because it does work it worked for a family of member of mine and now they can afford a house that is worth millions of dollars! i recommend this book to those who take advice wisely and go with it.
"What the rich teach their kids about money-that the poor and middle class do not!"
This is an easy to read book with sound advice told in an acceptable manner.
