Rating:  Summary: It really is that simple Review: Having had the pleasure of hearing Robert speak on numerous occasions, I was a little disappointed that his eloquent style was not forthcoming in this book. That aside, the information contained within is first class. As one who has been applying these principles for several years now, it really works. Congratulations Robert for using the leverage of books to reach a broader audience with your excellent material. I'll have to place my order for CASHLOW asap...
Rating:  Summary: the best financial intelligence guide ever written. Review: The author successfully blends practice, theory and philosophy of financial intelligence. He does a great job of explaining the why and how of finance strategy and you come away after reading the book with an incredible confidence that you have the "instructions" and if you just concentrate on what is discussed you will undoubtedly get to wherever your dreams can take you. The book is very realistic in its focus and the author does not resort to hype at all. He utilizes plain talk, clearheaded advice and real life examples sometimes written in story form which makes his illustrations very easy to understand and remember. Robert Kiyosaki lucidly reveals what most people have not learned about financial matters and why. He covers a "normal" education in America and explains why most Americans are not really financially smart and what most of us end up doing that validates his theory. Read this book and compare it to the bland reference-type financial books on the market. There is simply no comparison - if you want to "master" finances this is a must-have. Along with his other two books, that is.
Rating:  Summary: Visible horses win races against same... Review: So much in life, and finance, for that matter, really, is, so very much like a horse race... Visibility on the track, of all other competitors, or in this case "players" is a must-know for any able and serious contender. Equally, knowing the rules as identified by the ruling committees can only make matters more tenable, and winning an actual possibility. Our arcane little philly will go the distance--in finance--personal or otherwise so long as she is educated as to what all those factors and rules are regaurding racing: the specific track, and/or its geographical/national location. This includes those less spoken, categorical "invisible underpinnings/rules." Perhaps, a better point of departure for our silly little Mr. Kiyosaki trainer would have been is to identify the "global playing field--track" first--complete with its mined surface--just ain't no way that little philly he's promoting 'gonna get you through or around that track--since you don't know what's awaiting you--go carefully--or not at all. Sorry Robert, but your book by knowing and/or more likely unknowing, commits unforgiveably bankrupt omissions missing not only the Blue-Ribbon and Trophy--but is: "Out of the Money!"
Rating:  Summary: It only makes sense... Review: Excellent book for anybody who has some common sense and doesn't want to live off a paycheck for the rest of their lives.
Rating:  Summary: Simply the best personal finance book I have ever read Review: This is a must for anyone who is striving for finacial independence. I read the book recently and upon completion went out and bought an additional five copies to give to clients and relatives. Sadly I have always believed the education system fails our children by not addresing the crucial subject of wealth creation. This book fills the void. The book is easy to read and understand. Rather than simply buying the book and giving it to your children, read it yourself first then put what you learn into action. This will increase the chances of your children adopting good financial habits once they have read the book. Children are invariably bored by the subject of money, so you'll need to encourage them all the way. It will be worth the effort.
Rating:  Summary: Information and Experience Collide Review: This book is a must have, must share! It is one of the truly life changing books you will find. Buy a case and give them as gifts! The best part for us is that we found a way to implement what Robert has to say in our very own business. We even found tapes by the author that we listen to constantly. We are having a blast sharing what we know with others. Financial freedom, here we come! Thanks, Robert- your experience will change the lives of any open minded individual ready to think out of the box, get out of the rat race, or breathe easier. We have learned what "relax" actually means.
Rating:  Summary: Excellent!!! Review: Life leasons not taught in school
Rating:  Summary: Great reading! Robert offers some brilliant insight. Review: Not your typical "How to make it rich book"! I'm getting a book for all my friends and loved ones.
Rating:  Summary: Everyone should read this ! Review: This book is great. It makes you look at money in a completely different way. You feel TOTALLY empowered after reading it. The plan is simple to read & simple to achieve. Read it.
Rating:  Summary: You will never think about money in the same way again Review: At the age of 40, I've begun to think about money more, since my parents told me to get good grades and a good education, find a good job and everything would work out fine. In reality, the US social security system is beyond bankrupt and it's clear that I'm going to need to to provide for our retirement, making money that is no more than average from my "good job". Mr. Kiyosaki blows the "education and good job" myth right out of the water with an clear and entertaining writing style, and plenty of practical information to change your thinking and your attitude about money. I can now see clearly that I have the means to not only retire wealthy but most likely, at a fairly young age. Oh, if this book were mandatory reading in ALL high schools!
