Rich Dad Poor Dad is Robert Kiyosaki’s groundbreaking personal finance book that challenges conventional beliefs about money, education, and wealth. Told through the lens of his “two dads” — one rich and one poor — the book teaches how mindset and financial education shape your financial future more than your job or academic degrees.
In Rich Dad Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki contrasts the financial philosophies of his biological father (the “Poor Dad”) and the father of his best friend (the “Rich Dad”). While Poor Dad valued formal education and job security, Rich Dad emphasized financial literacy, investing, and entrepreneurship.
Through easy-to-understand lessons, Kiyosaki explains how the wealthy think differently about money, why working for money keeps you trapped, and how to make money work for you. He covers core financial concepts like assets vs. liabilities, cash flow, and the importance of building passive income.
This book is a wake-up call for anyone stuck in the rat race and wanting to take control of their financial destiny.
