Summary: I LOVE THIS BOOK!
Review: The man who wrote this book is PURE genius! I'm only 21 years old, and just by reading this book I feel like I am a million times ahead of the game compared to professionals who are years older than me! I have recently been saving up since reading this book, and I know it will help me years down the road when I start my own business. I see nothing wrong with this book, and anyone who thinks otherwise is exactly the same kinds of people that Robert Kiyosaki points out in this book. The average John Doe doesn't understand the concept of investing into a good business. I quote Mr. Kiyosak, "If you're in a hole, stop digging!" My great-grandfather had his own business, and told my father,"It's best to get $1 from many people rather than get $100 from only one person" He said that at a time in America when people belived that good grades made more money... but still people have the same poor "money is bad" mindset today! In a class I took last year at college, the professor asked all of us what we would do if we won $1 million? Like most people, everyone in the class said, "I would buy a car, a house, big stereos, stuff like that" I can't believe people are that ignorant! When it was my turn to say what I would do if I won the lottery, I replied, "I would save it up, and invest it into a business like a fitness center, apartments in a college town or help my younger brother buy a guitar shop when he gets older" Everyone looked at me like I was from another planet when I said that! Again, this is the best book on financial advice I have ever read! I can't thank Robert Kiyosaki enough for the advice he gave in this book-he is one of the FEW smartest business men in the world! It really has prepared me for the future.

Summary: Okay, but I found better
Review: The problem with so many money books is they assume that being rich is what matters most. Of course financial security is nice, but if you make money the focus of your life, you're lost. After plowing through a ton of financial books, I found only one (The Mindful Money Guide) that seems truly balanced about money. This wise book recognizes the virtue of simplifying your finances without forgetting about the bottom line. It also recognizes the emotional and social effects of money.

Summary: This is a joke
Review: This book is a joke. It does provide a "revolutionary" idea that is just what many people want to hear, i.e. "don't work for your money." This is highly useful for the author in that it gets people to buy the book and buy copies for their friends. (afterall *he* certainly is not working for his money) The truth is, his line of self help personal finance junk is just a small step up from the trinkets he was selling before- he is merely capitalizing on another fad. Everyone wants to believe that there are some "secrets" that the rich must know, and this provides a nearly irresistable urge to read the book. Resist.

Summary: SHOW ME THE MONEY !
Review: I really like this book. Kiyosaki tells it like it is and how it has to be if you have a desire to get ahead and become wealthy. I think that what he has to say is important for anyone who dreams of being able to retire early and enjoy a life that is truly in their own hands. This book has inspired me to change things about myself, first the way that I think. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn ways to improve their financial fitness and to secure a prosperous future.

Summary: Has nothing and everything to do with money at the same time
Review: Im amazed as I study the "principles of money" how so much of the information I am learning has more to do with personal growth and human emotion than it does with money itself. I still am trying to comprehend this. Robert's book really hit on some key points that my own dad instilled in me before he suddenly passed away last year. While not as focused as Mr Kiyosaki my dad was driven by something so counterculture in our society today; albeit the fear of actually HAVING TO GET A JOB. I just wish he could have read this book and talked about it together. Notwithstanding, I must say that this book will proudly be promoted to my "must read list"

Summary: Great message.....at times redundant
Review: The first 49 pages of this book were very redundant! Nevertheless, after that hump, the book started to rock and roll, causing me to realize that I can create a lifestyle for myself through financial knowledge and income producing assets. Great message, great book, time to apply the principles. I highly recommend the book!

Summary: Turns "conventional wisdom" about making money on it's ear!
Review: This is a great book that looks at how to really make money, the financial pitfalls of working on a job your whole life (for what--a gold watch and enough to buy a loaf of bread once a month?). This book is a must read for all those searching for knowledge about how the world of making money really works!
Rating:
Summary: A must read!
Review: This is by far the best personal finance book I've ever read. Kiyosaki has an easy writing style and an uncanny ability to condense the complicated into the easiest form possible. If you are looking to understand the concept of money, how to get more and how to keep it, then you must read this book!

Summary: Rich Dad Poor Dad is great
Review: This book has been a blessing to me and my family. It has given me a new lease on how to handle our finances. Mr. Kiyosaki has a special talent and I must thank him for this book. I intend to purchase more of his books along with the training aides he has designed. I am purchasing copies for friends and a relative who can greatly benefit from this book.
