Repetitive, fantasy, and empty, but inspirational
The book is very repetitive and not very well written. It starts slow and empty... and ends without any major content. It is a book about nothing. Everything in the book is unrealistic: the examples, the "real life" tales, the dialogs, even some "lessons."... more

Some good ideas
First of all, you have to realize that this is not a business book, but more of a self-help or inspirational type of book. Kiyosaki doesn't give the reader any business advise or investing tips here. Basically, he's trying to help people readjust their... more

Mixed Review
Kiyosaki is right about two things:

1. Financial education in America is woefully inadequate. Parents need to educate themselves so that we properly educate our children - the schools just are not doing the job. Our kids graduate college... more

Good start towards "financial literacy"
I would have given this book 3 stars for being theory-heavy, but it earns a 4th because it does motivate one to seek out different means of income streams.
Mr. Kiyosaki, in so many words, says this: The world's about assets vs. liabilities. Build... more

Not worth the hype...inspirational at best
This books is not nearly as helpful as one may hope. We come away learning that the author is rich and successful and knows how to make money. While he claims not to be tooting his own horn, her certainly does a lot of it. No, this book does not tell... more

fluff piece
Like many other books in this genre,Rich Dad Poor Dad is heavy on potatoes,light on meat.Many of the "teachings" are basic and generic.There is no real teachings of money and/or investing.It seemed like an infomercial in text form.The book reminds me... more

really great book
This book taught me a lot. A lot more than most books in this genre. It's written by a man that obviously knows what he's talking about, his own life shows it! I don't understand why anyone would give this book a negative review. Big deal if he talks... more

worthless
This book is pretty much worthless. He does make a good point on how middle class tends to by more liabilities than assets and if you want to succeed you need assets to work for you, but that is the only good point. He constantly repeats this throughout... more

Great Book
Before reading Rich Dad Poor Dad, I figured every buck one made should be quickly spent. But, author Robert Kiyosaki, says that kind of thinking is dangerous. Instead, he recommends how to manage money. This book is very clever on how, if you have... more

This book is a bad idea...
On the surface this book can capture the heart of most dreamers as he makes it sound all so easy- unfortunately, this book was built on lies, as many of the other reviews reveal. It is full of contradictions, and the deals discussed in this book never... more

Scam
Want to get rich? Write a book about it. This guy doesn't know what he is talking about. I started reading the book and became skeptical to say the least. A quick search on Google will uncover some interesting notes. Check out the link below. If... more

Afford you retirement before you imagined possible with free
The author leads you away from conditioned beliefs to a more results oriented thinking regarding financial planning. He offers solutions that can lead to more financial security now and for retirement years. Following with this train of thought this book... more

Blunt but has many Lessons to Teach
(...)

I recommend this book to many people all the time... in fact, I never see my own copy because I'm always lending it out. However when I do lend it, it always comes with a warning because like it or not, this book aggressively gets... more

made me think but that's about it...
i was excited to read this initially...after all, it WAS a best seller...it had to be saying something valuable, right?

a third of the way in the book, i already had a feeling of distrust and everything just seemed very generic and sketchy... more

Parts of this are worth reading
As the daughter of "Rich Dad," I always wondered why some of the people I met in college subsequently found themselves in poor situations once they entered the job field. Or why they made the financial choices they made (which to me seemed obviously... more

Don't be afraid read it!
I was very neutral reading this book 'cause in some lines he was so contemptuous. But like the way he emphasizes self education BEFORE make moves. It gives a different way you to see the money and tools that besides real estate are many alternatives... more

Feel good book with no financial wisdom
This is a great motivational book for the financial neophyte that wants to take charge of their life. That being said, there is NO information in this book to do just that! Robert T. Kiyosaki can spin an interesting tale of rags-to-riches thru sweat 'n... more

Wealth is a Thought Process
After reading several negative messages about this book, I have noticed one common theme: The book doesn't tell me how to do anything. Post Script: It's not a how-to book, and you cannot expect to be spoon-fed. The book takes shots at the traditional... more

Oedipus Finance
The slim pages of Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad, Poor Dad contain a surprise: three books for the price of one! The only problem is that none of these books is particularly good.

The first book lurking in Rich Dad, Poor Dad would have made... more

Motivation (Hype?) but nothing else....
This book opens your mind to the educational system flaws and other norms regarding career paths. This book also gets you excited about working for yourself and the "ownership society". But I'm afraid it does little else. It provides a lot of hype... more
