kirkles 's review for:
Rich Dad, Poor Dad
by Robert T. Kiyosaki
"Rich Dad, Poor Dad" is filled with invaluable wisdom and starts out with a very insightful story--almost like a parable--of his youth and his 'two dads.' Overall, the book's commentary on society--particularly societies in decline--is strangely prophetic. Kiyosaki definitely highlights Donald Trump way too much for me (which caused it to lose a star in my rating of this book, because I consider Trump to be a hack and a charlatan, and Kiyosaki puts him in the same category as General Patton and Warren Buffett, WTF?), but if you can get past the author’s misguided opinion of mango Mussolini, some of Kiyosaki's somewhat problematic (and also prescient/prophetic) ideas about capitalism and the decline of America, some or all of which might rub some people the wrong way for different reasons, he provides a super-important introduction to building wealth. Tony Robbins' "Unshakeable" and "Money: Master the Game" seem to take cues from Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad, Poor Dad." I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, and for those who distrust unfettered capitalism, I would say to keep an open mind and read it anyway. You might learn something! Kiyosaki's challenging of conventional wisdom remains fresh even today.
