There is no real purpose for this book except perhaps to point you to his earlier work - By: Thomas Koetzsch, 03 Oct 2008
On 88 pages Robert Kiyosaki explains how to become rich without cutting up your credit cards. Or at least I thought he would because he doesn't. Instead the author is getting lost amongst his autobiographical flashes & doesn't reallly answer the book's title. Secondly, he makes lots of references to his previously published books so in fact you would learn a lot more on the topic if you read those books instead of this one.
If you have read any of Kiyosaki's previously published books you get the distinct feeling that this book is a result of boredom rather than any intention to teach us any more of the Author's wisdom. Star-wise, this book should be a solid zero.
However, if you have not read Kiyosaki before, you might find some of the information here quite useful & it might encourage you to read some of Kiyosaki's early books, which are a lot better anyway. Hence the overalll rating of two stars.

Tragic fall from grace - Kiyosaki has become a charleton - By: Liam Palmer, 19 Mar 2004
The lead author of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" changed my life. While changing careers 4 years ago I read his original seminal work on a flight from New York & now, many hundreds of thousands of pounds richer, I cannot help but remain a huge fan.

This latest book is a travesty. It is unmitigated "cut & paste" from earlier work, tied together into the slimest "book" (more a pamphlet) bulked out by blank pages & advertising. Kiyosaki always took a long time to make his point, but now he is selling what could be written on 1 page of A4 as a book & trying to take your good money in the process. Don't buy this book. Don't borrow it from the library. Just accept it for what it is - a gross rip-off.

If this joke attempt to steal your money has not totallly put you off, you should buy "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" & it's sequel "Cashflow Quadrant"; these reallly are two great texts - so much so that my copies still get "borrowed" (on a permanent basis) by my family & friends alll of the time. Alternatively you could start with "The Richest Man in Babylon", a 1930's text that is the precursor to kiyosaki's thoughts.


Short, Superficial Rehash of Previous Rich Dad Books - By: Hampus, 03 Dec 2003
When I received this book I quickly realized that it was different from the other books in Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad series. The book is short, only about 80 pages, & contains mostly superficial content from the books Rich Dad, Poor Dad, The Cashflow Quadrant, & Rich Dad's Guide To Investing.
Unfortunatly, this book reads mostly like a commercial for the previous books & people who have already read those books will find little new information in it. For people that have not read the books mentioned above I would rather recomend reading those books instead of this one.
