Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki
1.0
tense medium-paced
I was very disappointed to discover that the two dads are not actually both the author's fathers. The disappointment only continued from there. This book includes the occasional little nugget of actually solid financial wisdom that is almost always undercut by extremely meandering and sometimes offensively short-sighted stories and questionable personal finance 'advice.' If you are new to personal finance, please skip this one (see my reviews for other finance books such as I Will Teach You to Be Rich by Ramit Sethi or The Financial Diet). Or if you want to read an informative finance book, skip as well. If you are wanting a look into an incredibly popular but wildly unhelpful (potentially damaging) book as a historic curiosity and already have a solid personal finance philosophy backed by extensive research based on facts as well as a good understanding of your own money psychology, then have at it.
