Professional Review:
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 - that Dad was an eighth-grade drop-out 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 retire at 47. RICH DAD, POOR DAD, written with consultant and CPA Sharon L. Lechter, lays out his philosophy behind Kiyosaki's relationship with money and 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 * Showing parents why they can't rely on schools to teach their children about money * Defining once and for all an asset versus a liability ...* Explaining what to teach your children about money for their future financial success

   Summary: Motivating Book
This is a motivating book. This is great for anyone who wants to think outside of the box and make money outside of the everyday job. I loved the book and the points that are made, especially around stock and real estate investing. The book has helped me think about thinks differently in my financial planning. Good book and highly recommend it.

   Summary: Inspirational, yes. Educational, no.
This book motivated me to get my finances in order and get on track to have a stable financial future. I was truly inspired to learn how to have my money make more of itself, as the books talks a lot about. However, a major word of caution: READ THIS BOOK AND STOP RIGHT THERE! I attended a free Rich Dad Poor Dad seminar that sold me a $495 3-day workshop for which I took two days off of work. During those 3 days, they tried, very convincingly to sell me a $25,000 Rich Dad Poor Dad package of workshops. I am ashamed to have been scammed out of $495 and would like the world to know that, while this is a great message, the Rich Dad Poor Dad franchise has gone too far, scamming and ripping off the financially uneducated public. Please take heed to this review.

   Summary: Am I glad I didn't buy this one!
I checked this book out of the library, and am so glad that I didn't waste money to buy it. I was looking for a book to teach my kids about money. This book was a lot more about teaching kids to act like shallow, superficial snobs. If you want to raise kids who put money above all else, who keep looking for a get-rich-quick scheme instead of developing a work ethic, then this is the book for you. If you're looking to develop actual skills, belief in the importance of education, a pleasant personality, sense of compassion, or any other worthwhile quality in yourself or your children, drop this book like the piece of excrement that it is. I don't care how valid the financial advice is (and it's dubious, at best), the messages put out by this man are the last things I would want my kids to learn. Here's a quote by the author: "Over the years, I've met many losers who pray to God to give them gold. God helps those who help themselves. Again, the conquistadors may have been killers and thieves, but at least they knew how to help themselves." So, help yourself to whatever you want, whether it belongs to you or not, whether you have to lie, steal, kill or walk all over others to get where you want to be.... Okay. The advice in this book is evil, and our current economy is collapsing because too many top executives lived their lives by these rules. Not my kids, thanks.

   Summary: These books will motivate you to make tons of money!!
The Rich Dad Poor Dad books are some of the best books out there. I listen to him several times a year. I have his books on CD so I love listening to them while working out or on the road. Listening to them from time to time keeps the info fresh in my mind and motivates me to continue my journey of financial freedom.
I have become smarter financialy by listening to his books.

   Summary: Rich Dad Poor Dad-a great read
I would like to say that Rich Dad Poor Dad was a terrific book. I dealt with the aspects of financial businesses and how they are set out in society. It shows that with great use of the mind, one can accomplish much that he or she did not know could be capable. This book demonstrates that through hard work in life, success comes in hand. Overall, Kiyosaki's book in well-written and should be read by more individuals.
