Rich Dad Poor Dad has become one of the single most successful-best selling financial help books ever---and for a good reason; the advice works. Right now in this recession there are so many opportunities - that it's time to take a second look and re-double your efforts - so read it again! What does it say? It tells people not what they want to hear, but they need to hear. Also recommend is Rich Dad's Guide to Investing which offers better investing strategies than just blindly buying mutual funds or listening to your broker without rhyme or reason - we all know where that got us - when the market is hot, brokers take credit, when it'd down, they claim it's not their fault.
Most of us know that the real secret to making money and reaching financial success is not staying an employee, but starting a business and making it work. But what if you are older, closer to retirement then starting out in life? Then you need to read this book and not make the mistakes the rest of the baby boomers are going to make. This should not be your first Kiyosaki book, however, if you have decided to take advantage of this wonderful recession to make your millions, then this book should be read after reading his main books.
Regardless of whether you are interested in learning more about real estate investing, buying or selling a business, creating a second income or a new career or just general financial issues for boomers, you will find the advice you are looking for in RDPD and in the Rich Dad's Advisors Series.
What is interesting to me is what Kiyosaki has in common with Horatio Alger, as Alger's books - novels of rags to riches - were very much like the effect one has reading a RDPD book. Not only uplifting, (all Alger's books are uplifting and very powerful in that way), but Alger always explained in his novels HOW a person was successful, (even down to the math), and these were more than principles, but examples that someone could duplicate in a different business and move forward, succeed and prosper. Kiyosaki does the same in his books, and I would recommend you read all the books by all of these authors.
I just found a very nice set of great reprinted Alger books, (I'll leave you with a few). All in all, Kiyosaki, Alder, they are all great, inspiring, and what we need to read in this recession, negative, and cynical world.
