A review by mollyrob_reads
Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki

3.0

His writing style is rudimentary and can sound repetitive at times. The author admits, however, that he is not a writer. He is a successful businessman who knows how to make his money work for him. I learned a few things from this quick read, and more importantly, I have been encouraged and motivated to really start investing in my financial future by learning and acting. Even though it was written in 2007 and the author's good fortune cannot be replicated because of the changing markets and current economy, his overall philosophy about how a person's attitude can make all the difference. A couple of the more unusual principles: always pay yourself first and give in order to receive. All in all this was a very easy read and is a great book for a young person who could benefit greatly from a new perspective on personal finance and investing.
