Kenya.......2000-04-19
This is another good volume in the Globetrottter series. The size of the book and the nice map are big pluses. In the case of Kenya I could have hoped for a little more info about the restauants, hotels, etc. But, still the size, easy reading are going to make it into my suitcase.

Personal-finance author and lecturer Robert Kiyosaki developed his unique economic perspective through exposure to a pair of disparate influences: his own highly educated but fiscally unstable father, and the multimillionaire eighth-grade dropout father of his closest friend. The lifelong monetary problems experienced by his "poor dad" (whose weekly paychecks, while respectable, were never quite sufficient to meet family needs) pounded home the counterpoint communicated by his "rich dad" (that "the poor and the middle class work for money," but "the rich have money work for them"). Taking that message to heart, Kiyosaki was able to retire at 47. Rich Dad, Poor Dad, written with consultant and CPA Sharon L. Lechter, lays out his the philosophy behind his relationship with money. Although Kiyosaki can take a frustratingly long time to make his points, his book nonetheless compellingly advocates for the type of "financial literacy" that's never taught in schools. Based on the principle that income-generating assets always provide healthier bottom-line results than even the best of traditional jobs, it explains how those assets might be acquired so that the jobs can eventually be shed. --Howard Rothman

Download Description
A #1 New York Times bestseller, 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' is a true story on the lessons about money that Robert Kiyosaki learned from his two "dads." One dad, a Ph.D. and superintendent of education, never had enough money at the end of the month and died broke. His other dad dropped out of school at age 13 and went on to become one of the wealthiest men in Hawaii. 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' will . . .· Explode the myth that you need to earn a high income to become rich · Challenge the belief that your house is an asset · Show parents why they can't rely on the school system to teach their kids about money
· Define once and for all an asset and a liability · Teach you what to teach your kids about money for their future financial success. In 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad', Robert Kiyosaki explains how to make your money work hard for you instead of you working hard for money.

Very helpful information !.......2007-10-21
This is a book I didn't like at first, and later on found it to be very valuable and useful. It truthfully tells you where you need to spend your time if you really want to become rich. To use these methods presented in the book, you will have to work really hard, take risks, study, plan, and take the subject matter presented seriously.
Disappointing.......2007-10-20
I bought this book out of curiosity, to see for myself what the hype is all about.
I have to admit that the first part really drew my attention. Co-writer Sharon Lechter did a good job placing the story in the setting of two kids growing up. It makes the simple content digestible.
But then out of the blue Mr. Kiyosaki takes the word and it feels like the editor didn't have the time to finish her job. It is embarrassing to see K. showing off and telling us how he made his fortune being a real estate speculant.

Norbert
An Interesting Perspective.......2007-10-20
While it is difficult to imagine what new commentary one could add to the thousands of reviews of this fine book, I thought it would be beneficial to point out a significant characteristic that seems rarely touched by others. Namely, the testimony-like nature of the message.
While there are many business and investment books on the market worth the time to read, few are as adept as Robert Kiyosaki (and his actual writer, Sharon Lechter) at contextualizing his instruction. By giving the reader a "this is what happened to me, and this is what I learned from the experience" message, the author is essentially giving his own personal narrative of his life's journey into his present understanding of business and investments. By so doing, he offers the reader insight into the WAY a person of his economic stature thinks...and more importantly, WHY.
The autobiographical nature of the text adds tremendous flavor to the message this best-selling book conveys. In my opinion, Rich Dad, Poor Dad is a remarkable book that anyone interested in business and/or investments should consider a "must read" in their studies.
Moreover, to truly garner the key nuggets of the author's revelation, one should also immediately read the sequel, Cashflow Quadrant: Rich Dad's Guide to Financial Freedom. Nearly twice as thick, this second text is truly the finishing touch on the original work.
In conclusion, the few negative reviews I have read of Rich Dad, Poor Dad seemed to be written by those who expected something different than what was intended by the author. By logical extension, it appears obvious that they failed to read the sequel so that they could truly conceptualize the appeal of the author's message...an appeal that has made this not only a best-seller, but a true legend in the business non-fiction genre.
Inspirational stories - but repetitive information.......2007-10-19
Robert Kiyosaki has shared a lot of his personal experiences of making money. I enjoyed reading the first few chapters. The rest, pretty much carried the same information. This book motivates you to become rich. The author recommends to develop and use your ingenuity to create wealth.
I couldn't still understand why "buying a house" couldn't be considered as a way of asset creation. Most of the author's examples are about real estates & investing in stocks.
If you want to get inspired about making money, this is the book to read.
Okay, but not the answer........2007-10-15
This was not a very good self-help type of program. Usable advice, enthusiasm, and some worthy points make it average, but it hardly reflects the title. Sorry guys, I'd pass on this one. Read Cyber-Psychonetics instead.

Helped to clarify how I think about money.......2007-01-16
I read this a few years ago because someone I was visiting had it in their apartment. At one point Kiyosaki says that rich buy assets and the poor buy liabilites. Basically an asset pays you without you doing anything - for example interest from the bank. Likewise a liability takes money without you doing anything. (Although he does point out that in the case of a house and a car both require continuous money for up keep but may be needed for other reasons.) For me assessing whether I was aquiring assets or liabilities was a breakthrough in how to look at things. I'm not rich and unlikely to be so (which I'll get to next paragraph), but it has very much helped me to clarify how I think about spending.
Kiyosaki also gives advice about specific types of investment strategies. Many of them take more daring than I have (and that's why I will never be rich although with longer term planning I will likely do OK). However all are based on the same strategy of aquireing assets. Which goes into why reading the book might be good even though I just gave the big secret away. For example in speculating in real estate Kiyosaki is especially clear on an asset being something that you don't have to continually manage. In this case have someone else who is unclogging toilets for your tenants. Treat this employee well and tip your broker and generally pay attention to and be generous with people who are part of your assets.
Basically this is a good book to clarify your strategies involving money. Even if you are cautious like me it is helpful in terms of helping you clarify how you think about money. I don't think it can make you "get rich quick" but it is still very good to have read it. (4 stars not 5 because the specific investment strategies aren't for my personality)

Este libro es requisito para manejar las finanzas personales.......2003-09-13
Este es el libro principal si quiere aprender el único concepto de cómo debemos manejar nuestras finanzas.
Los principios que aprenderá le ayudara a caminar por la única vía correcta para realizar sus sueños financieros.
Le recomiendo leer también los siguientes libros de la misma serie.
Personalmente me ayudó muchísimo y cambió mi manera de ver mi situación financiera cuando lo leí hace 3 años.

Unico.......2003-05-01
He sido un empresario exitoso, los negocios se me han dado y he tenido, porque no decirlo; mucha suerte. Sin embargo llega el momento en que uno se da cuenta que no tiene nada. Y no es por no saber ?ganar dinero? (de eso no se trata este libro) si no por no saber usarlo. Aqu? no se descubre ning?n hilo negro, esto es lo incre?ble del libro, Son cosas que uno ya sabe pero resultan tan b?sicas que uno no les pone atenci?n.
Lo recomiendo ampliamente, mi devoci?n a este libro es tanta que el pasado febrero empec? a estudiar la carrera de contabilidad y finanzas a mis 30 a?os, esto igual no tendr?a ning?n merito si no es porque nunca fui bueno en la escuela, nunca me gusto y quieren saber la verdad, nunca la termine.
Me gustar?a hacer dos ?ltimos comentarios:
Por las opiniones que he le?do, la gente podr?a pensar que es un libro para financieros o para meter dinero en la bolsa de valores o algo as?. Nada m?s lejos de la realidad, aqu? el autor da su experiencia, y que en su caso funciono con inversiones en bienes ra?ces y bolsa Pero lo que realmente hace es invitar a la gente a comprar Activos. Por ultimo si Usted queda satisfecho al terminar el libro continu? con El cuadrante del Flujo de dinero del mismo autor, se quedara boqui abierto. Y si quiere otro consejo. Ah? det?ngase ya que los dem?s t?tulos de Kiyosaki rayan en lo realmente comercial barato y no valen lo que cuestan, pero despu?s de todo se quiere hacer rico, no?
Excellente Libro, a Must Read. A +++.......2001-12-04
Definitivamente un libro practico he impresionantemente basico, el cual nos permite analizar donde estamos y que hacer para llegar a donde queremos estar financieramente. Actualizado y valido para personas de cualquier nivel socio-economico. El autor plasma en el libro su propia experiencia de una manera en la cual cualquier persona se puede relacionar con las situation particulares que el autor relata. Lo estoy aplicando ya y debo decir que en las ultimas 2 semanas no solamente mi forma de pensar ha cambiado, sino tambien la de mi esposa, de manera que tenemos un objetivo financiero en comun, el cual tiene sentido. Ya le estamos bien el fruto a cambiar nuestra manera errada en la que manipulabamos nuestras finanzas. Mi padre (quien es ya un millonario) tambien lo empezo a usar y esta asombrado.
