I read the book back in like '03 and it changed the way I look at life from a business perspective. But I've heard criticisms of it claiming it's all common knowledge and largely fabricated stories.
So where would you place it?

that book belongs in the trash
Robert Kiyosaki is a great hustler who sold a lot of suckas his book
only financial merit that came from that book was Kiyosaki padding his pockets and parlaying himself into an opportunity giving advice on Yahoo Finance -

Damn tell em how you really feel.
You don't feel it didn't at least introduce a new way of thinking to someone who may not have looked at finance that way before though? -

nope........? was a bunch of cliches that pandered to the financially vulnerable and ignorant
it's games beyond the game always..............yet there are cats who can quote his book word for word yet to this day still don't recognized what happened
I'm unique in the fact that before I read a book, I research the author 1st
dude had way too many discrepancies in his background for me to take his ? seriously
they might as well have sold it with the comic books haha
you would learn more just reading the WSJ for a week or two -
They say dude is a conman and didn't get rich from his business savvy, but by making ppl buy this book
That's the real lesson -
his credibility might be in question
But for ME this was the first book that showed me you become wealthy off your dreams/ideas and not some random act of luck or for the select few.
I always looked at dreaming as a form of entertainment - not the breeding ground for manifesting great thangs.
yea could have done that with any other book - but it was what worked for me in '02 -
It's been proven that There is no rich dad. He's a fraud.
