Rich Dad Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not! by Robert T. Kiyosaki

1.0

The central lesson of the book - focus on buying assets instead of liabilities so that you can generate passive income & gain a measure of financial freedom - is sound. However, I felt increasingly uncomfortable reading the book as it became clear that my values and the author’s values couldn’t be further apart. I also doubt the validity of many of his anecdotes. A quick Google search of the author’s name after I finished reading proved that hunch correct. If you’re interested in personal finance, there are better writers out there.
