Rich Dad Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not! Paperback – 19 May 2022

Brilliant book with timeless knowledge. Worthy of being on everyone’s bookshelf. Generational wealth creation and retention is well explained in the book. The exercises makes it even more practical.

Good read definitely take notesDelivery was very good

This book was a game changer and started my journey into learning more about personal finance. A must read for anyone wanting to take control of their financial future.

A story about attitudes to money comparing different mindsets that are prevalent even today. This is mixed with his own story of path to riches but it is all a bit superficial and doesn't really give detail about what you need to do or even how to change your mindset.It is an interesting read though and does challenge the view of debt being bad that is forced down our throats by people who make their money from debt.

I enjoyed reading it!

An amazing book I couldn't put down! Helped me remove the fear of failing

The book is an easy read and the pages do quickly flyby. I was sceptical at first; I am an academic at heart much like Robert’s ‘poor dad’. However, I will not deny that Robert talks a lot of sense in no nonsense straight forward manner. All too often you hear of get rich quick profiteering preachers charging for books, seminars etc. This is not one of those cases; none of the advice in the book is geared toward getting rich quick. It is long-term advice/financial lifestyle changes that will take time patience, dedication and independent research to even begin paying dividends.Whilst the advice and realisations shared in the book are good, it is limited and repetitive in what I can only say is a quality over quantity method of delivery. The one downside is that whilst the advice is good, directive on how to positively applying it to your own life is limited if not non-existent. There will be moments where you are screaming inside ‘tell me how to make this work for me’.More so, the book could have been approximately 20 shorter if it was not for the copy and pasted end of chapter questions (questions you are meant to ask yourself upon reflection of the chapter you have just read). Personally, I felt this was unnecessary but may work for other readers.Furthermore, I didn’t like how the book repeatedly attempts to upsell you Robert’s other writings and educational board games within the main body of the books text. It comes across as blatant pushy upselling, capitalising on a point that Robert knows has grabbed your attention i.e.If you want to know more about this appealing lucrative point that I know unquestionably has grabbed your attention but that I deliberately choose to discuss vaguely in this book, buy my other book…Or…If you want to learn how to specifically manage the assets that I have just stated can generate you a regular income, buy my board game…OrIf you want to learn how to manage more complex assets that generate you a more substantial regular income buy my advanced 2.0 board game.This sales tactic is a constant throughout the book. Personally, I find it distasteful to the extent it actually begins to discredit the author who actually makes some sound points. Additional writings and resources available from Robert could be a simple bullet point list with a blurb for each one at the end of the book. Or at the very least mention them loosely and infrequently in the main text. At the very least this is not pushy or blatantly trying to upsell you something by deliberately withholding information on points being discussed currently that have grabbed your attention. It begins to depreciate the value of this book as an educational resource in its own right.The book touches upon the 'what' the rich teach their kids but skips on the 'how' the rich tell their kids to make it happen, for me the latter is the more important. All in all, a good books that can remain a positive resource as long as you consciously choose to solely focus and retain the limited but valuable advice on offer.
