This book is worth reading especially for those who work in financial services sector.

This book was published in 1997 and parents have been recommending it since. It also seems to be stuck in the 90's too. If you want to learn about personal finance and investment strategies, this is not the book for you. Most of these…

Extremely repetitive and the "messages" were neither inspiring nor helpful. 1. When you own something, it is either putting money into your pockets, or taking money out of your pockets. Owning a business or earning royalties creates…

This is one of the best books to read if you want to build wealth and have financial freedom. The younger you read this the better. I have read it about 4 times, just wish I would have read it decades ago.

A manual for financial literacy and avoiding a poverty-based worldview. It's nice that there weren't just a ton of historical instances, but also first- and third-person perspectives. The most crucial lesson I learnt was to increase the…

I'd skip this one. The best thing about this book is its popularity, which then might act as a gateway to further improving your financial skills. What holds this back from being recommended is a poor attitude on the "common man". There's…

"Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki is debatably the best book I have ever read in my life. This book teaches the essentials of finance such as the difference between assets and liabilities, how to use money as a tool for wealth…

If you want to kickoff your Financial Journey, this is the book. This book will offend you, shake you and inspire you. One word that would define this book: Mentality! This is a great book on fundamentals and will challenge your belief…

It has valuable advice on changing your outlook on finance and investing vs trading your time for money. My big issue with it is what the author describes as 'poor' is seemingly middle/working class and poorness just being about debt,…

The words are easy to understand. Feeling like the author mocked all payroll people. At half of the book I think this is a perfect art of PUA. I would probably buy one at home to get some motivation when life was too comfy from my paystubs.

I found “Rich Dad Poor Dad” to be entertaining, especially considering it was a book about financial literacy. The author Robert Kiyosaki, tells stories of his upbringing and the lessons he learned from his father figures, and he explains…

This is a great book with many different examples and quotes that are relatable to someone like me. I've taken a lot out of this read and am implementing different practices in my day to day life that 'Rich Dad' told Robert. Highly…

This book is a 100% must-read for anybody new to finance. I strongly recommend all teens to add this to their reading lists, and I think schools should add it to their curricula as well. This book teaches its lessons through a story - a…

Not a fan of this book, like Donald Trump, the author has a way of talking a lot without actually really saying anything, which is funny because towards the end of the book he mentions how Donald Trump is one of his mentors and talks of…

Apparently this book had revolutionized personal finances. It makes sense — being told that working will not bring financial freedom and hearing about something called “financial literacy” must have been groundbreaking. However, 20 years…

Repetitive, redundant, and tiresome. Horrible writing. Great ideas.

Eye opening and a really worthy read for someone who wants to learn about financial literacy. I do not agree with all the points he mentions in his book, but I did learn a lot of knowledge from reading it. His ideas gives the readers a…

Chapter 1 was great. And hilarious. The author learned about money by getting practical real life experience at a young age. When the author was a kid, "I stood there, still not believing what a raw deal I was handed. I came to…

This book seriously changes the way you see money! It isn't a book with an answer of 'how to do (x) to get (y)", but more so a book which talks about viewing money from a different perspective. As others said, this book would be a great…

This is a book about finance written by someone whose main qualification seems to be selling books, seminars, videos etc. Some limited motivational value but no real financial guidance. In my opinion this book contains bad advice and…

This book changed the way I think about life, work and how I spend my time. It is not a How To guide, but the switch that will turn on the light and let you see how you may have been programed. I quit my job and have happily joined the…

Rich Dad Poor Dad is a great book to get your feet wet on the topic of financial freedom. Robert draws the difference between being poor which he describes as trading time/labour for money directly, and being rich where you make your money…
