Summary: The inside story is sometimes the real explanation
Review: The key to the success of Rich Dad Poor Dad is that it presents the process of achieving financial success in an easy to follow system that can be broken down into even easier to follow components. In other words, instead of presenting a system that is complex and requires an advanced degree or high level of experience to master, Rich Dad Poor Dad presents a real proven system that has been used by the author to attain his financial success. One thing that I have noticed over and over when reading books on financial success, is that very often the simple plans of action are what really work.
Take a look at the Millionaire Mind or the Millionaire Brain, they both showcase the actions and thoughts of actual millionaires who have clearly achieved their financial goals.
The Millionaire Mind demonstrates how millionaires for the most part have simple fundamental principles that they stick to while the Millionaire Brain explains how those millionaires put their plans into action and how we can emulate their actions and achieve our own level of success.
It is clear from reading Rich Dad Poor Dad that the author is adhering to a simple, yet effective, methodology which we can all implement in our daily lives to achieve the level of success we are looking for.

Summary: The greatest collection of BS I've read for a while.
Review: Many of the points of this book are based on false information. It is astounding that even his CPA associate missed some of the mistakes in here. This book tells you how great investing is and hardly any non-obvious information on the subject. Just pages of cheerleading, like all his books. He won't reveal how much his personal success is because he says people are always out there to sue rich people out of their money. However, he's writing books claiming how successful he is. This is a real good collection of information on the author:... He does, however, have a good ideas on keeping an optimistic attitude. If you want to read about money, read Peter Lynch or one of the other proven greats. I wouldn't want a guy who can tell a good story on how to get rich actually teach me. Oh, one other interesting thing is that "Rich Dad" never really existed.

Summary: One of the best books I've read in a long time...
Review: I bought the ebook version of Rich Dad Poor Dad to put in my Pocket PC... I'm a medical intern and we are required to go to these very boring lectures for 1-2 hours each day. So I bought the book thinking that since I have to go to these lectures at least I can read something semi-interesting during these o/w sleep-inducing sessions. This book is AWESOME. So much so that I now actually look forward to going to the lectures just so I can read Rich Dad Poor Dad! I feel like the author is talking to me... his views on life & money are thoughts that I've had all me life... but ones that most of society frown upon (or are actually afraid of). I'm training to be a radiologist -- a profession that typically pays anywhere from 300K - 1 mill annually -- but I've never felt entirely content with that... this book is opening my eyes and my mind as to why -- b/c I don't want to be part of the "Rat Race" that most others are. If you're the type that, regardless of what your salary may be, are not satisfied with the daily grind of a 9-5, Monday-Friday, dinner & movies on weekends, and 3 weeks vacation-a-year life, then this book is for you. Thanks Mr. Kiyosaki!

Summary: Easy read and great knowledge
Review: Wonderful book. Very inspiring. A must read for all who want to be rich. The Rich Dad Poor Dad series is very good. Cash Flow 101 is also a great game. If you haven't read any of the Rich Dad Poor Dad books, start with this one.

Summary: Cashflow 101 game is great!
Review: I recently triend the Cashflow 101 game. Regrettfully, I failed to get out of the rat race the first time so I went out and bought Rich Dad Poor Dad and tried the game again and did better after changing my belief system. Third time was the charm. I got out of the rat race. I am also am out of the rat race in real life as well. Highly recommended educational tool.

Summary: The Freeway to financial freedom
Review: It's about time that someone with mega credibility like Robert Kiyosaki explodes the myth of a college education. I have many friends who spent thousands on a college education only to spend thousands more and then thousands more and today are poounding the pavement trying to find a job just like the one they just got downsized from. I also know many people who have lost their homes to foreclosure and therefore their life savings because they were dupted into thinking that a home was a "asset." Kiyosaki's advice is right on. He is telling it like it is. It may not be what you want to hear and it may be opposed to what you were taught by early mentors, but let me ask you a question; how are those mentors doing? Let me ask you another question: have you ever been mentored by a rich person before? Kiyosaki gives you that chance. Use it or lose it. The choice is yours. I also recommend Rich Dad's Success Stories to get the full and true story of how Kiyosaki has positively impacted the lives of others. His system works. Try it. You'll love it.

Summary: Got me off the financial treadmil
Review: Before following Kiyosaki's ideas, I was like a gerbel in a cage on a treadmil going nowhere. Now I have passive income working for me. My money is working harder for me that I used to work to obtain it. I highly recommend Rich Dad Poor Dad for anyone who wants real financial success. You can make money or you can make excuses. Excuse makers, check out those tabloid like websites and continue to go nowhere. At best, you will learn how to set up a website that attracts losers.

Summary: this is NOT the way to wealth
Review: Mr. Kiyosaki runs down the one sure way to make more money
during one's life, that is "MORE EDUCATION"! One can get quite
a feel for Mr. Kiyosaki's agenda by reading John T. Reed's
analysis of him (and many other so-called 'gurus') Questionable
facts, and questionable biographical details....

Summary: Still a best seller for a reason...IT WORKS!
Review: For a book to stay on the best seller lists as long as Rich Dad Poor Dad has is ample proof that the information is for real. What some of these 1 star reviewers hope you never realize is that word of mouth is the most powerful form of advertising in the world. If in fact this book was as bad as they (or is that he??) would like you to believe, don't you think the people who actually bought and read the book would have communicated that to everyone they know. This book works for those who are willing to use it. BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT--Read Rich Dad's Success Stories for real life true stories on how Rich Dad and RTK's philosophy has positively impacted the lives of so many people. Great book. But only for winners.

Summary: Rich Dad, Poor Dad
Review: The author provides great concepts on what it takes to build wealth, but scant little in the way of details about how to implement them. Repeated references to the author's lectures, seminars, and educational board games throughout the book are obvious invitations to fork over additional cash in order to get the details. The same few golden rules provided to build wealth are repeated over and over throughout the book. After the first couple of chapters the book provides nothing new, just a rehashing of the same concepts. Just like a television infomercial, but in print.
