Amazon.co.uk Review
Personal finance author and lecturer Robert Kiyosaki developed his unique economic perspective through exposure to a pair of disparate influences: his own highly educated, but fiscally unstable father, and the multimillionaire eighth-grade dropout father of his closest friend. The lifelong monetary problems experienced by his "poor dad" (whose weekly paychecks, while respectable, were never quite sufficient to meet family needs) pounded home the counterpoint communicated by his "rich dad" (that "the poor and the middle class work for money," but "the rich have money work for them"). Taking that message to heart, Kiyosaki was able to retire at 47. Rich Dad Poor Dad, written with consultant and CPA Sharon L. Lechter, lays out his the philosophy behind his relationship with money. Although Kiyosaki can take a frustratingly long time to make his points, his book is nonetheless a compelling advocate for the type of "financial literacy" that's never taught in schools. Based on the principle that income-generating assets always provide healthier bottom-line results than even the best of traditional jobs, it explains how the former might be acquired so that the latter eventually can be shed. --Howard Rothman, Amazon.com

 Excellent!!! August 11, 2008
Mr. E. Munyagi
I have to say, I am not a reader, or rather I was never a reader till I read this book. After reading it I have gone to read half a dozen more and I have never stopped.
This book will open you mind towards your finances and will teach you to think like the rich do. A must read if you want to get out of debt and take control of your finances.

Definitely Worth The Read - Inspirational July 31, 2008
Darren G. Burton (Australia)
I first read this book about seven years ago. I still have a copy in my bookcase and will always keep it.
Whether one is into making money from real estate or not, this book is quite an inspirational read and well worth taking a look at. There are some very important life lessons contained in the pages; lessons about what's more useful in life, lessons that definitely aren't taught in most schools.
We all need education, sure, but we also need to learn how to be survivors in a very competitive world and develop business smarts and not just academic ones. Our minds need to be more free and open to opportunities and possibilities. Sometimes the systematic approach of the education system tends to make us all think rather compartmentalized rather than projecting our minds and visions outside the square.
The overall message and information Robert Kyosaki provides in this book will benefit just about everybody.

 don't buy this July 7, 2008
trader (UK)
i bought this on audio and that made the whole thing a lot worse. not only was i having the bloody obvious drone on, but also by someone who sounded like he was reading to his 5 year old child.
the guy makes a few good points but these could have been summed up in a paragraph or two , perhaps an essay of an A4 page at a push.
You keep on thinking that something really new is coming up but no its just the same again and again. you know those american documentries that come back after their commercial break and seem to feel the need to remind you what was on only 4 minutes earlier, well this is very much the same.
don't bother
Life changing May 23, 2008

The title of this review says it all. If you are open minded and willing to change your ways, then this is for you. Gave me new perspective and i hvent looked back. a must buy.
 Gives a fascinating perspective on wealth April 11, 2008
N. Burgess
The book is excellent at explaining the fundamental differences in the approach the rich have to money compared with the not rich. A lot of what Kiyosaki says is a real eye opener and really makes you sit up and think about wealth creation in a totally different way. For instance, every home owner regards their home as an asset, buy Kiyosaki explains that the mortgage to pay for your house takes a huge part of your salary away and a house shouldn't be regarded as an asset, but as a liability. I think many would agree with this!
He also discusses starting your own business and makes some excellent points here, highlighting the fact that 9 out of 10 new businesses fail within a year, and of the ones that survive this, most go on to fail within 5 years. He actually advises against starting your own business and instead recommends focussing on starting a side business to supplement your day job.
This book is quite a revelation, my only criticism is that it doesn't actually present any money making ideas, it's more an inspirational book. Definitely worth a read.
