Summary: This should be required reading for all high school students
Review: If high school students read this book more of them would refuse to believe the old adage. "Go to school, get an education, get a good job, retire happy." Maybe then fewer people would have to work until they die because they bought the lie they learned in school.

Summary: Waste of money to buy this book
Review: This is a book that makes only a few points and takes forever to get to those points. Totally unnecessary long worded stories, lots of page-filling graphs and attempts to bash the rich. This books seems to be targeted to people wanting to be rich but hating the already rich. There are many other, better books out there that provide sound financial advice, don't waste your money with this book.

Summary: Rich Dad's wisdom is more true now than ever.
Review: Having been a CPA in Hawaii and knowing of Rich Dad, I have nothing but respect for him. He is widely loved and respected in Hawaii for being wise and kind as well as a generous benefactor to many charities. This book confirmed a lot of my own personal beliefs about money.

Summary: Here Is The Bridge From The Middle Class To Being Wealthy
Review: I have always wondered what causes generations of lemmings to go through the rat race called middle class, while other pepople seem to prosper in the same environment. This book has the answer. Robert lays out simple but powerful concepts that can be used by anyone who is looking for them. Anyone who would claim that this book is diluted is firmly in the grasp of the Paycheck Mentality. Weaving these concepts into a story is pure genius. Without the story, you would dismiss the concepts as obvious. This is a must read if you want to break the generational mediocrity that many of us come from.

Summary: This book is an eye opener to all of those who desire money.
Review: I have read both 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' and 'Cashflow Quadrant.' Being young and still in college, these two books have taught me how the rich think. As Kiyosaki emphasizes, getting a high paying job after college is not the answer to becoming financially indepent and satisfied. His books unteach the reader everything he/she has learned about money and allows the reader to focus on building wealth the way millionaires do. His books are enlightening, and his method to achieving wealth makes sense logically. After reading 'Millionaire Next Door', I could honestly tell that Kiyosaki's method is the way the truly rich think. 'Millionaire Next Door' simply focuses on frugality and spending as little money as possible. Who wants to enjoy all of their money when they become 60 yeas of age, having spent their prime years living as cheap as possible? Kiyosaki's book is excellent in teaching the common man/woman how to have money work for them and allows them to live life to their fullest. I recommend this book and 'Cashflow Quadrant' as the first two readings for someone seeking financial independence.

Summary: The best book on the subject of thinking the rich way
Review: I have read a number of excellent books on personal finance. This book , by far, is the best in helping people understand that there is a basic difference between the haves and have-nots. Most people have been brain-washed into trading time for dollars and getting nowhere financially. This book makes sure that we get the basic knowledge on how to separate oneself from the crowd and the authors tell in a lucid, enjoyable style how we can look beyond our noses and think long term. They clearly outline steps to help us see what we can do to prepare ourselves with the current economic changes. This book is must for every person on the planet to read and master. The only people who would have a problem with this book are people who are weak-minded and would like to stick to their excuses of why they can't make it. But if you want to get ahead and are willing to learn - start here.

Summary: Great Book anyone should read his material!
Review: One of the better book's on understanding money. Alot of what he talk's about my father taught me also. My father retired to the golf course before he was 50 year's old. For those who say you have to have a college degree to suceed in this country truely do not understand money. My father came from a truely poor family. It's not what you retire from but to what you retire to! My age makes no difference but Im under 40 and my assest already out perform my liabilitie's

Summary: It's an ok book. Not worth the time and price
Review: This book is too "diluted". I agree with another reviewer that reading this book is like drinking one cup of milk mixed with 10 cups of water - you have to read some long stories to get basically ONE idea out of "Dad". I also read "The Millionaire Next Door". "Millionaire" is a much better book than "Dad". It has most of the information that "Dad" has minus those long and repeated lines. I also agree that Robert is more trying to "sell himself". His "rich dad poor dad" approach starts to annoy me after I went through about a quarter of the book.Read "The Millionaire Next Door", I liked it so much that I sent it to my father in Malaysia after finished reading it. I am not going to do the same with "Dad".

Summary: If you want to be wealthy, take advice from the wealthy.
Review: There is no shortage of broke people giving out advice. Therefore if you want to be broke take their advice. However, every once in awhile a wealthy person will offer advice that will truly help you. Robert Kiyosaki is one of these wealthy people with the genuine intention to assist you in your financial goals. You will enjoy this book for its simple, mind-stretching concepts. For someone who was programmed by the traditional, government controlled, educational system, this is a must read. How can a broke government educate you or our children on financial matters: you can't teach what you don't know. Check your own bank balance, credit card balances, and asset column and then check the same of the people you are taking financial advice from. When you honestly do that you will find that in most cases you have been taking financial advice from other broke people. Therefore is there any question to you now why your financial statements look the way they do? Rich Dad, Poor Dad is not the financial "bible" it is simply one of the many solid books of the financial "bible". This book will clearly challenge your way of thinking towards wealth creation and it is YOUR THINKING that will have to change in order for you to create it. Written by a Rich Dad who was once a Poor Dad.
