Summary: A good book
Review: This book is really helpful for those who want to know how money works in life and career. And, I don't agree with the views of harsh critics (johntreed.com) of Kiyosaki. In his book, Kiyosaki never undermined the value of education but showed what more can be done to improve the educational system; same way Bill Gates never discouraged investment in Education ( see microsoft.com/billgates' articles).THEME of the book : Manage your finances well.

Summary: Stop buying infomercial, Poor Vs Rich type material.
Review: For any information about this book, please goto ........html. I do not in any way have association with the site, but it's review is better than the book itself. Here is a quote from the review:(about new spouse) " On page 14 he approvingly quotes “rich dad” as saying “Money is power.” On page 92, he tells of his “rich dad” keeping him waiting for long periods—when he was nine years old!! “He was ignoring me on purpose. He wanted me to recognize his power and desire to have that power for myself one day.” On page 172, he says, “I have found the principles of finding value are the same regardless if it’s real estate, stocks,...or a new spouse...” " (this is about friendship) "On page 154, Kiyosaki says “the reason you want to have rich friends” is to get inside stock market information that you can make low-risk profits. He ends that discussion with the sentence, “That is what friends are for.” That is the narrowest, most mercenary definition of friendship I have ever seen. I doubt Kiyosaki is the only person who feels this way about his friends, but he may be the only one dumb enough to say it in a book. "

Summary: You can't without
Review: I listened to the tapes and they totally changed my perception of how I view money. I did not know what was a liability and and asset. It was really an eye opener for me. The good thing is I am just starting in in the work industry!

Summary: Tells you everything but the hard part....
Review: This book is full of little anecdotes that can be summed up in a few words: "in order to be wealthy, come up with a great business idea, incorporate, and work for yourself". The entire book repeats on this theme without giving any new insights on how to develop a "great" business idea or how to implement it. My advice - your first step to financial freedom... save your money, don't buy this book. Also, Kiyosaki, the author himself is not as wealthy as he claims to be. Do some research for yourself and see what I mean. Like the book, the author is rife with contradictions.

Summary: worthless
Review: This book is as worthless as any other "get rich" book out there. If this book "changes your life" as previous reviews state, then you have some serious issues. Honestly, this book could have been condensed into about 10 pages, but Kiyosaki continues to ramble on with cute little stories, cliché quotes, and "motivational" examples. He is so redundant that even if you are so thick headed that you haven't picked up his point by the tenth time he's said it, DON'T WORRY, he's going to say it another 10 times. This book is no different from those ridiculous advertisements on tv at 2 in the morning where that little guy bounces around and says "I've made millions by putting tiny ads in newspapers... and you can too!" The only person making any money here is Kiyosaki, who chose yet another titillating title to woo buyers into thinking they (the "poor and middle class") are missing out on some "monumental" secret. Get real. All his "secrets" are hinted at: buy real estate, invest in small corporations, become your own corporation... there is no real substance beyond, like I said, 10 pages. In his book, he says, "save your money and find yourself a good accountant". Excellent advice Robert. Skip this book and save your money for a more worthwhile read or council.

Summary: Was this the bait or the catch?
Review: The concepts could be life changing for many, but I felt like I was reading the marketing materials for the rest of the author's products.

Summary: Great Book for parent's own education
Review: Myself being a solid C- student & having parents who believed that school and education was the most solid investment to succeed. I just wish they had read this book 15 years ago. I would have had an easier time and most likely been a better performer academically. Although my spelling still suckks :) Living by the principles that our government sets forth and not to indulge or think freely is the basis of most American's. This book will hopefully put those common "principles" on a backburner for a few decades. If so, I am willing to bet that the level of innovation and creation in the minds of young people everywhere will spur like a batch of rabbits. Buy this book for your best interest.

Summary: Rich thoughts and enlightening perspectives
Review: Rich Dad, Poor Dad was not a rocket-science book yet I found it profoundly true in its positive nature. I won't attempt to reiterate all of the lessons of the book here but one of the greatest bits of information that that author shares is the importance of an "I can" versus "I can't" attitude. I also felt that his approach was multifaceted versus an infomercial on "get rich in 30 days." One final lesson that I felt was important...that one was of being financially knowledgeable and to be able to assess risks in a more constructive, educated manner. Our schools currently teach a lot of theories and models yet not the real world knowledge. You have to be thirsty as a lifelong learning to gain this knowledge. Overall, an enjoyable book. As a result, I've taken strides to eliminate what I call "stupid debt" like credit cards and high interest loans and aggressively save for property investments. This book is a must read! Andrea

Summary: A disappointing read
Review: This book left me frustrated. It tells all about what you *should* do and *should* get in order to have a cycle of passive income, but does not tell you HOW!Anyone with an interest in finances already knows what they should do and should have. What's the "down & dirty" of HOW?
