The Book

TL;DR

• One Word — Transformative
• One Sentence — A motivational guide that teaches the reader about the importance of financial literacy and how to gain wealth through unconventional thinking and education.
• One Paragraph — “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” is a book that discusses the difference between financial education and traditional education. Robert Kiyosaki, the author, explains how he learned about wealth and financial success from his “rich dad”, who was a successful entrepreneur, while receiving a limited understanding of money from his “poor dad”, who was a well-educated but financially struggling schoolteacher. Throughout the book, Kiyosaki shares his experiences and lessons he learned on his journey to financial freedom and encourages the reader to think differently about money, assets, liabilities, and how to create and build wealth.
