Summary: Money Saving Tip
Review: Read "Rich Dad's Guide to Investing" and forget about Kiyosaki's other books - the third book in the series captures all the ideas this man has. If you must, browse through the other books in the bookstore - you will realize that the information is repeated, and that you can save a lot of money by not buying his other books.

Summary: Perspectives on financial planning
Review: I think the author makes his point in a crisp and easy-to-understand manner. Everyone at some point in time have questioned the "value" of our education system, albeit it may be in our own minds. The correlation between education and monetary rewards is sketchy at best. Here is a book which presents two perspectives regarding 'learning' and 'earning'. Its simplistic style makes it an easy read. The author's choice of using a story instead of using a more pedantic approach regarding financial planning enabled me relate with the content better.

Summary: Look past the books weaknesses and focus on the message
Review: When I first picked up this book I was impressed at the easy storytelling style. I hadn't had this feeling since I read the "Richest Man In Babylon". This book is spiritually and psychologically transforming. Mr.Kiyosaki lays out how wealthy people think and why its easy for them to make money constantly and consistently, where even the most educated of us struggle needlessly. This book is transformative in the easy way it makes you come around to its way of thinking. Because of this book I ended up writing three books of my own, all of them available on amazon.com With all of the books shortcomings you can tell that Kiyosaki is interested in one thing and one thing only, your well being. He is sincere about his four pillars of success and in that sincerity you want to change. This is a powerful book and sits in my top ten lists of motivatioinal books.

Summary: Financial Literacy, What a concept!
Review: Robert Kiyosaki writes that Financial Literacy is the key to making and keeping wealth. In school we are taught about IQ. Kiyosaki introduces the concept of Financial IQ. Starting with basic concepts and principles such as, "The rich don't work for money" and "Your home is not an asset", Kiyosaki destroys many cultural myths that circulate around the wealthy individuals of today. I have personally given away more copies of this book than any other I have bought or read. I would highly recommend this book and all the Rich Dad series books for anyone wanting to take hold of their finances and learn what true wealth and financial freedom really mean.

Summary: Worth Reading
Review: Although this book is not perfectly written it is worth reading. This book is based on a single key concept (easily explained in a one page summary). The author did not invent this key concept; however, the author's long winded explanation may be helpful. This book is not reference material - suggest purchasing used or reading a library copy. You will only read the book once.

Review: This book offers out-of-the-box concepts that will work for many people. As a CEO and successful investor, I have found that being rich involves discipline, focus and optimization. You must put your best self in charge and make the most of resources and opportunities. Take the author's explanation of assets and liabilities seriously, optimize your assets and minimize your liabilities. Read Optimal Thinking: How to Be Your Best Self, become a consistent Optimal Thinker, surround yourself with Optimal Thinkers and you will become rich beyond your wildest dreams.

Summary: Title is a little misleading - good book
Review: I bought this book on the assumption that Kiyosaki's real dad was "poor." In fact, Kiyosaki's real father had a high income and all of the usual blessing of a rich person; big house, had a great education and so. Kiyosaki's rich dad was the contrast. He made much less money than his poor dad. One difference--rich dad had more cash flow and fewer financial problems. Poor dad depended on his job for income. Rich dad depended on real estate, stocks and other investments that provided a passive cash flow. Some people feel that more money will solve their problems but as Kiyosaki explains, it's not how much money you have, it is how you handle it. If your house is your biggest asset, you are in big trouble.
If your job is your main or even worse, your only source of cash flow, you are in big trouble. If you think that a college degree equals financial success and wealth, you are in big trouble. Since reading RD/PD, I realized that I was like Kiyosaki's poor dad. So were the people in my family. So are my friends. But when I looked around, none were doing that well financially. So I decided to change---made some new choices. Changed my core values towards a Rich Dad mentality. Rich Dad Poor Dad is a excellent book that should be read by everyone who wants to reach financial success.
