Book Reviews of Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money--That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!
Book Review: It really is that simple
Summary: 4 Stars
Having had the pleasure of hearing Robert speak on numerous occasions, I was a little disappointed that his eloquent style was not forthcoming in this book. That aside, the information contained within is first class. As one who has been applying these principles for several years now, it really works. Congratulations Robert for using the leverage of books to reach a broader audience with your excellent material. I'll have to place my order for CASHLOW asap...Book Review: BUY Thorstein Veblen to REALLY become wealthy!
Summary: 1 Stars
Don't be fooled by get-rich-quick books like this one. Become really rich by applying the priciples espoused by Veblen in 1899. Thorstein was a genuine academic - not a capitalistic author trying to get rich selling books!Book Review: Solid Ideas, with an Occassional Extreme View Thrown In
Summary: 3 Stars
Good, solid ideas, with a refreshing definition of "assets." My only caution is that Kiyosaki's recommendation to eschew traditional investments in favor of more aggressive (i.e., speculative) investments may hurt those just starting out. (Granted, Kiyosaki warns readers that they need to educate themselves first, I just wonder if readers will take it to heart, or jump into speculative waters in their exuberance.)I disagree with assessments that this is a get-rich-quick book. It took Kiyosaki to age 47 before he "retired," and he was working at it most of his life. Not exactly a get-rich-quick scheme. But that's what I like about the book--it's realistic. Just apply some common sense and follow Kiyosaki's advice to educate yourself before you risk your life's savings on a "killer deal."
Book Review: Cange your life.
Summary: 5 Stars
Im 18 years old, my Dad gave me the book to read and with it I learnt an incredible amount. After reading the book I am confident I will be able to lead a financially rich and happy life.Book Review: An awful tele-commercial for his expensive seminars
Summary: 1 Stars
Don't buy this book. It says nothing, except you need the authors help. He wants you to spend money on education (that he sells). He made his money in Arizona real estate in the mid 80's (that boom is over). Now he's on to the 90's boom, of selling ideas (of prosperity). He also has a $200 board game for sale. The order form is at the back of the book. He says he's 'retired'. So, writing books and board games, having training seminars is 'retired'?. Give me a break!! He's not retired. He acts like he's doing us a favor, selling us his ideas. Be afraid, be very afraid.If you want to understand the ways of the wealthy, read 'The Millionaire Next Door'. That's a 10 year study of American businesses and workers. 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' is the same stuff as Wade Cook.
