Rich Dad, Poor Dad Abridged

Summary: THE book to read on building wealth.
Review: Possibly the best book I've ever read on building personal wealth. In a world of "Chicken Littles" it's refreshing to have an author teach on taking the path less travelled. I too have heard the lectures on getting good grades and a great job. It used to be the smart thing to do but now it's time to OWN great companies and hire employees to work for us! I highly recommend you read this book and then start building your financial intelligence as Robert suggests.

Summary: If you have kids -- this book is must reading!!!
Review: I read this book twice before I could put it down. Thank you Robert Kiyosaki for doing this piece of work. My thirteen year old son saw me reading this book and asked if he could read it. He completed it in 48 hours! If you want to teach your kids how to prepare for life and not make the same mistakes 95% of the population makes then read this book. You'll be glad you did.

Summary: Slow at first, riveting in the end
Review: The format of the book is slow and choppy. It is difficult to get through the first couple chapters hash and rehash. By the end, the points are made clear and poignant. I give it 5 stars for the content, and three for the structure.

Summary: The answer to today's money problems!!
Review: I only wish the book was written years ago and that somebody sat me down and made me understand the book. I have always seemed to know these principles but they were never focused. Robert Kiyosaki has written the "HOLY GRAIL" in the common persons' words!

Rating:
Summary: A must read for teens and adults !
Review: This book should be in our school and public libraries. The information is invaluable and is not taught in our schools or most homes .You'll want to buy several copies and give them away. Americans are " sick "financially and this is the prescription for economic health.

Summary: Encourages reader to think outside the box
Review: The author encourages the reader to go further in life financially by changing his or her way of thinking about money--how to spend it, how to make it. The book is full of excellent personal experiences that the author shares to show how it is done. Be prepared to be challenged to be a better manager of your financial life!

Summary: Get out of the "Rat Race!!!"
Review: Mr. Kiyosaki explains the problems with our societies current paradyms of money, success and creating wealth. How we are currently in the "Rat Race" and do not know how to break out of the race. I found this book to be a watershed moment in my life as an investor and creator of personal wealth. It is not a get rich quick book. It is a book on changing the way we look at our financial situations and why we need to change our way of thinking to make quantum leaps in our personal wealth

Summary: Enlightening
Review: Now that I have this kind of information, my life would be much more financially rewarding. In 10yrs time when I'm 40, I would be retired and enjoying the benefits of having read this book.

Summary: A Book that should be compulsory reading for all students
Review: Once I started reading this book at the local bookshop I couldn't put it down, so I bought it. I was amazed at how simple Robert's principles are,they are things that everyone is capable of seeing through to the end. The entire book is summed up by "the No 1 rule, the only rule". I now look at my possessions in a different light, that is worthless devaluing pieces of junk. Robert not only tells the reader what he/she should be spending their hard earned cash on but how to do it. The book is very user friendly. I felt as if I was talking to Robert on a one to one basis. After reading this book you will become an authority on it's teachings.

Summary: An absolute essential.
Review: I must say, Rich Dad Poor Dad is one of the best books out there. It is a phenomenal work. It really opened my eyes to the reasons why there is a gap between the "have's" and the "have not's". It is well written, easy to read and understand. The information it contains is invaluable. The bibliography at the end is a very good component of this bok. The suggestions will help me, and everyone, develop their financial intelligence.
