Finding Gold in a Book! - By: Colleen Messina, 18 Nov 2008 
Despite having a high school education & a college degree, I was never educated on the subject of money. As I leapt into adulthood I found myself in debt 10 years later with no clue how to get out & no clue how to produce wealth in my life. A friend suggested that I read Robert T. Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad Poor Dad". This book has opened my eyes to the logistics of how money works & how I can make it work for me. This book has helped me to take control of my finances & now, at age 39, I am out of debt. I have a deeper understanding of money, like never before, on what I need to do to make my money work for me. Now I am clear on the difference between assets & liabilities.
It's so exciting that Robert T. Kiyosaki is sharing his wisdom of financial education. It is one subject that should be added to the educational curriculum. Another subject that was not offered in any of my educational experiences was how to achieve & experience well being. As Robert T. Kiyosaki is sharing the gems of financial freedom with the world, authors Ariel & Shya Kane are sharing the priceless knowledge of instantaneous transformation in their books, Working on Yourself Doesn't Work: The 3 Simple Ideas That Will Instantaneously Transform Your Life, How to Create a Magical Relationship: The 3 Simple Ideas that Will Instantaneously Transform Your Love Life: The 3 Simple Ideas That Will Instantaneously Transform Your Love Life & Being Here: Modern Day Tales of Enlightenment. In their writings, I have discovered the ease that is possible in living. I didn't know much about finances & I found Robert T. Kiyosaki. I searched for enlightenment & I found the Kanes. It's a gift to find authors that can write about what works!
A Transformational Approach to Money - By: NYC Reader, 16 Nov 2008 I reallly enjoyed the book "Rich Dad Poor Dad". It was a new way of looking at money for me. This book narrated by Robert Kiyosaki tells the story of Robert's real father & his best friends dad. His real dad, "poor dad", worked for his money, while his "rich dad" had his money work for him.
Kiyosaki explains even a person with a lot of money in the bank can be poor, though they have financial wealth in the bank, they are still poor mentallly as now they are afraid they are going to lose alll their money.
I loved that Kiyosaki says "It's not what you make, it's what you keep" If you make $100K & spend $125k you are poor. "Rich Dad Poor Dad" teaches you to act like, be like & think like a Rich person instead of a poor person.
Another transformational book I reallly enjoyed was Being Here: Modern Day Tales of Enlightenment by Ariel & Shya Kane. It is a book of short stories that are inspirational.
THE "RICH DAD" THINKS THAT POOR IS NOT SO CLEVER - By: Alimaa Erdenebat, 03 Nov 2008 
The book offers an easy & enjoyable read. When I was reading the first couple of chapters, it kind of made me feel reallly excited & I was reading faster & faster as it was giving me the impression that the book was going to give me the "magic formula" to make millions & millions. Unfortunately, the book only gives an overview of the financial & behavioural difference between the rich & the poor. Although it is a very interesting read, it writes about the obvious. The obvious i.e. the difference between the rich & poor, is written in a way as if it is a hidden secret revealed manner & everyone reads it will be ever rich.
Obviously there will be an obvious difference between the rich & poor because one has money & another hasn't. Furthermore, there will be a behavioral & spending difference between the the rich & poor. Another thing that made me feel odd is that I got the impression that the author or "the rich dad" thinks that the poor is stupid & because they are so stupid they are poor.
Please do read this book, it is entertaining but don't expect too much. IT WON'T GIVE YOU THE MAGIC FORMULA TO MAKE MILLIONS!
Must Have Book! - By: A. ALAHDAL, 11 Oct 2008 With probably the weirdest choice of a cover & a title!! Comes an amazing read!
TO be honest with you never have i ever bothered to review anything be that a book or a movie; however this book to me deserve the effort. After i got over the choice of cover & title, choosing not to judge the book by that, i started reading from page one, little did i know i will finish it within days!! No bus journey or train journey went by without this book. The style, emotion & moments captured so elegantly in the book; that no matter how knowledgeable you are- you WILL learn something different.
Rich dad, poor dad - never failed to force me going into a thinking frenzy & review my life & direction as well as agreeing to Every point made. Made me look at finance & my dreams in a different light. Further to it encourage the made theme of the book: Financial IQ!!!
Truly is a life changing book.
Pathetic - By: Mr. K. V. Unalkat, 05 Oct 2008 
Okay first of alll (for those of you who have already read it), how many 9 year olds do you know who have in depth conversations about finances? The author has already stated that 'rich dad is about as real as santa'. This is a very obvious con. I know it has recived 5 stars from many people, & i do understand where they are coming from - this book is inspirational! It reallly is! And i have given it 2 stars because it does make you realise about making money work for you. but thats it! How many readers have become millionairs? To be honest i think most of this should be common sense anyway.
But what fustrates me the most is this is an obvious con. Just get this so you know what i mean (or you could spend the money putting it into bonds! i hear bradford & bingly are doing great!).
