Summary: It changed my life !!
Review: I don't know how to explain it! Let's put it this way. I am a senior student, getting my second B.S degree in Computer Science. Before reading this book, I was so happy to be graduated and get a high, well-paid job in computer programming. Now, after reading this book, it looks like that somebody has just woke me up after a long nice dream. I am getting a whole semester off, and start researching to start my own business. I could not believe that one book be able to not only change your view to the world, but also change your whole life. I wish I was able to give it 100 stars, instead of 5 !!

Summary: Great education adventure!!!!!
Review: This is a great book that will change your entire perspective on your financial situation. Though some ideas are controversial, you will realize how wrong you were about things all along that continually held you down such as taxes, investing, coorporations, and the true definition of an "asset" and a "liability".

Summary: Putting it all together
Review: Ah yes, the secrets of the rich. So many people want to know them, but few are willing to believe them when they are told. Robert Kiyosaki does an excellent job of putting all of the financial wisdom together. I loved this book because it is not a "get rich quick" book. This is more of a fundamentals book. You have to have the right mentality in order to succeed. It does no good to learn how to identify good investments and good deals if you don't have the proper foundation and mentality. That is what I get from this book and agree wholeheartedly with Kiyosaki.Many people who beleive that education is the only way to go may be offended by what Kiyosaki says about education; however, I don't think he is saying to not study. What I understand from this book, which is what I have always believed, is that too many people think that getting more and more of the orthodox education is going to equip someone for financial success. If that were true, then most college graduates would be financially independent, and we all know that is not true. Kiyosaki projects the idea the we must educate ourselves with an objective in mind, which is to achieve financial independence for you and your family. Now, isn't that what really counts? I have been able to acheive some of this independence on my own using the self discipline principle taught to me by my parents, not by secondary schools or college. I just needed to put it all together with some visionary insight that thankfully Robert Kiyosaki has done through this book. I had been slowly coming to understand the don't work for money idea on my own, but this book really has turbo charged my financial wisdom. I have the Cashflow 101 game and Cashflow Quadrant book on order and am ready to continue in my quest to acheive that financial independence. I give this book five stars for content and wisdom and not necessarily for style. Maybe he went a little overboard on giving too many details on those conversations with his rich dad at 9 years old. Can he really remember his rich dad putting his hand on his head just before saying certain words? Maybe he has an extraordinary memory. But really who cares? The important thing is the fundamentals of financial knowledge. This isn't a thesis. We can leave that to those future W-2'ers who will be working hard to make financially independent people rich.

Summary: GREAT START !
Review: This book is a great start for anyone looking for finantial independence. Don't mind about the bad reviews. Some people just expect a secret formula for all their problems and that's why they never get anywhere. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Infomercial Huckster
Review: Robert Kiyosaki is a great marketeer. This is his latest product--a book that has one good idea (buy income generating assets) and repeats it over and over. Kiyosaki's real genius is using this book to push the other products he sells. Here's a free income generating tip from me to all you readers. Write a simplistic book about getting rich and hire Kiyosaki to market it for you. Good luck.

Summary: Changed the Way I Looked at Things
Review: I must tell you, as an accountant, I had it all wrong. I had, mistakenly so, always thought my house was an asset. How wrong I was. And most books I have read in this genre never speak of tithing (which I believe to be a necessity...after all, look was God gave us...his son, Jesus Christ). This is the first book where TITHING was brought up as being necessary. Hooray for Mr. Kiyosaki! My 18 year old nephew read the book and just about came up off the couch!! Now he spends his spare time reading financial information books and magazines. He is determined that, following Robert Kiyosaki's simple plan and suggestions, he will be wealthy...and never have to worry about lack. Why isn't this book a mandatory read in high schools??? And, speaking of schooling, it's the first book I have ever read where a real distinction was made between "education and learning" and "going to college." I have ordered other books by this author after reading this marvelous "biography" of Mr, Kiyosaki's early life. And to Mr. Kiyosaki I can say only this, "Thank you for sharing your secret with all of us."

Summary: No, he's not specific about the "how" part:
Review: That's what the "Suggested Reading" suggestion is for at the back of the book. There he lists the books you should read *next*. Consider RCPD an overall roadmap to financial literacy and success. Then, for more specialized knowledge, read the books he suggests. No single author could cover everything in one book.

Summary: A good book
Review: This book is really helpful for those who want to know how money works in life and career. And, I don't agree with the views of harsh critics (johntreed.com) of Kiyosaki. In his book, Kiyosaki never undermined the value of education but showed what more can be done to improve the educational system; same way Bill Gates never discouraged investment in Education ( see microsoft.com/billgates' articles). THEME of the book : Manage your finances well.

Summary: Stop buying infomercial, Poor Vs Rich type material.
Review: For any information about this book, please goto ........html. I do not in any way have association with the site, but it's review is better than the book itself. Here is a quote from the review:(about new spouse) " On page 14 he approvingly quotes “rich dad” as saying “Money is power.” On page 92, he tells of his “rich dad” keeping him waiting for long periods—when he was nine years old!! “He was ignoring me on purpose. He wanted me to recognize his power and desire to have that power for myself one day.” On page 172, he says, “I have found the principles of finding value are the same regardless if it’s real estate, stocks,...or a new spouse...” " (this is about friendship) "On page 154, Kiyosaki says “the reason you want to have rich friends” is to get inside stock market information that you can make low-risk profits. He ends that discussion with the sentence, “That is what friends are for.” That is the narrowest, most mercenary definition of friendship I have ever seen. I doubt Kiyosaki is the only person who feels this way about his friends, but he may be the only one dumb enough to say it in a book. "
