Rating:  Summary: Wisdom from the Millionaire Teacher Review: I really think that Robert Kiyosaki should be called the Millionaire Builder because he has undoubtly helped more people to become millionaires and reach financial independence than anyone else in history.Kiyosaki will tell you some things that you won't want to hear like: You don't need to have a high income to become rich That your house is not an asset Why you can't rely on the school system to learn about money What real assets are and what liabilities are. HINT: It's not what you think they are What your kids really need to learn to achieve wealth and financial success. Again, it's not what you have been programmed to think. Easy to see why Kiyosaki is controversial but then again it's also easy to see why only 5% of the population ever reach true financial success. It all goes back to what they were taught which doesn't equal success. Rich Dad Poor Dad is an outstanding book and I am glad to see that it has stayed a best seller this long. People desperately need this information. Now, they need to apply it.
Rating:  Summary: Optimize cash flow here and much more Review: I loved this book. My dad was "rich dad" but wanted me to live poor dad's teachings. He didn't think that women should be business owners. So in my early 40's I found myself divorced, living from paycheck to paycheck without income producing assets. This book really fired me up. I agree with Rich Dad that the single most powerful asset we all have is our mind, and I have dedicated myself to become a consistent Optimal Thinker. I read Optimal Thinking: How To Be Your Best Self which has given me control of myself and showed me how to make the most of every situation and how to make the most of my life. I have formed a corporation and am buying fixer uppers below market and flipping them. Thank you Robert and Sharon. I have doubled my net worth since I read these books.
Rating:  Summary: Most assuredly A MUST READ! Review: Rich Dad Poor Dad is undoubtably the best financial book ever written! I like the fact that Kiyosaki himself started with no money and was able to escalate to super wealth. I also like the fact that Kiyosaki discourages debt except for investments like real estate and stocks. Too many people charge up their credit cards for dining, clothes and other depreciating items. If you are going into debt, advises Rich Dad, do it with things that go up in value like using leverage in real estate and buying stocks on margin. Kiyosaki's advice on buying small cap stocks is also good advice. NOTE: He does not advise cheap penny stocks as others have falsely indicated. This book reminds me a lot of the legendary "Think and Grow Rich" by the late great Naploean Hill and "The Richest Man in Bablyon" by George Clayson. Perhaps that is why average people have so much difficulty with these books and in particular, Kiyosaki because he is the hottest financial author of the last ten years. But you know, I have met hundreds of people who attribute their wealth to "Think and Grow Rich", "Richest Man in Bablyon" and now "Rich Dad Poor Dad." Obviously, these were average people who thought at an above average level and were willing to be corrected. If you are new to Rich Dad, I recommend you start with this one and "Rich Dad's Success Stories." I also recommend "If you want to be rich and happy then don't go to school." "Cashflow Quadrant", the second in the series is also a must read. If you have been "guru-ed to death" by so called "financial experts" who advise you to cut your credit cards then I also suggest "Rich Dad's Guide to Becoming Rich ...Without Cutting up your credit cards" currently available as a e-book and another one of my personal favorites. Rich Dad Poor Dad is an OUTSTANDING book. The fact that certain factions have criticized this fabulous book tells me that Kiyosaki is doing something right and shaking up the right people. The advice works only if you are willing to use it and go to work. You also have to read the book. I was talking with someone this morning who said he bought this book 2 years ago and never read it! Yeah, you have to read it too (the whole book, not just the free sample pages here on the internet ala the 1 star bashers) and then you make some powerful gains! Best of luck.
Rating:  Summary: Definitely NOT for Teenagers Review: If some adults can't understand this great work by Kiyosaki, how can we expect our teenagers to understand it? No, instead, I would recommend Rich Dad's Rich Kid Smart Kid and then move them up to Rich Dad Poor Dad and Rich Dad's Success Stories after that. Great to see the the Rich Dad books are still best sellers and that intelligent people are NOT taking that single one star basher too seriously. Poor guy must have a very boring life!
Rating:  Summary: Rich Dad Poor Dad Review: Review by Jonathan Kennedy. This book has helped me with my expences and has taught how to make money work for me instead of me working for it.m I am looking to read his other books
Rating:  Summary: Rich dad poor dad Review: this book was informative but not exactly my cup of tea. yes it brought up a lot of intersting views and ideas but its not the most exciting read.
Rating:  Summary: "The millionaire school teacher" Review: . The corporate world is a place where either people work for money or money works for people. Rich Dad, Poor Dad, by Robert Kiyosaki, illustrates the differences between the two and explains economic and social advantages/disadvantages for the two. Mr. Kiyosaki artistically presents money in a strategic, rather then material, manner. Using real world examples along with his personal lifetime of research makes his book an intriguing read. Learning economic basics is essential in a corporate run business world. Mr. Kiyosaki accomplishes teaching through his book. The cover claims, "Mr. Kiyosaki teaches people to be millionaires...That's why they call him the millionaire teacher." This claim drew me to the book. Why don't they make this class mandatory at High Schools so everyone can become a millionaire, I sarcastically thought. After reading the book I realized that he teaches why people become millionaires and how the process works. Essentially, in light of the former context, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, lives up to its claim of teaching people how to become millionaires. This is a crucial lesson for those unknowing economy.
Rating:  Summary: Good Information...but not necessarily for teenage students Review: I really enjoyed this book, but there were times when I was completely lost. Being a high school student I need to know as much about money as I can, since I will be living on my own in the near future. This book had many helpful concepts including things that my parents (established medical doctors) didn't even know. And other things that I really didn't care about at all. The concept about liablities versus assests is very interesting. This book calls the United states to reasses the style and content of education regarding money and finances. There is no class about this type of subject in public schools, which i attend, and we all need to know about it since that is what our life will be like when we leave the comfort of our parents. This book makes some intresting points while at times it rambles and confuses the average reader. Maybe I'll understand the points it was trying to make a little more when I try to manage my own finances.
Rating:  Summary: good book Review: I found this book to be very informative, the only problem was that i didn't understand all the points he was making. I think I am just a little too young for this book otherwise it would have worked out. This would be a great book for anyone looking to improver their financial status, and in the long run have more money. As a person of the middle class I think this book would be great for my parents if they wanted to have more money.
Rating:  Summary: Rich rich or Poor poor Review: This book was really interesting because it teaches you how to be successful and rich. It shows the differences between poor and rich. It has hard words to undersatand, but its still ok. I recommend it to people who want to be rich or want to start a business.
