Rich Dad, Poor Dad is one of the best-selling personal finance books of all time. Thanks to its ability to teach the secrets of wealth creation through an engaging narrative read. The book tells the story of a young Robert Kiyosaki’s financial lessons as he grew up with the contrast between his own father, who was an employee, and the father of his best friend, who was a business owner.
For readers who have never been exposed to higher financial concepts, the lessons in this book may be aha moments or eureka moments.
This book does an excellent job of filling a void for young people who did not receive adequate financial education in school or from their parents. Most people learn only two financial lessons during their childhood: go to college and get a good job. The author does an excellent job of demonstrating why this is not the best path to financial success, financial independence, or wealth creation.
If readers want to escape the rat race, they must understand cash flowing assets, business building, and the power of asset ownership.
