Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki

Description

Rich Dad, Poor Dad is one of the best-selling financial books in history, selling over 35 million copies. The premise: when growing up, author Robert Kiyosaki had two dads advising him:

1) a Stanford-educated Ph.D. who followed traditional career thinking and was financially illiterate (the Poor Dad, his biological father);

2) a high school dropout who built a business empire employing thousands (the Rich Dad, his best friend’s father).

The two dads are a parable for two approaches to wealth: Poor Dad recommends getting a secure job with good benefits and retiring with a pension. Rich Dad suggests amassing assets that make money for you, becoming financially literate, and practicing independent thinking.

This book teaches how to achieve financial independence, why it’s a terrible idea to see your home as your biggest investment, and how to overcome the biggest mental blocks to becoming wealthy.
