Review: Rich Dad, Poor Dad

Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

You could glean the same advice in a much more concrete form with a 5-minute YouTube video. The writing is dry, the stories are uninteresting (almost condescending at times) and the mindset seems to be that the only purpose to life is money.

The advice is often self-contradictory, it tries to gain moral ground by opposing its own views not realising that the paradox here is because the advice isn’t the most moral. Some of the views expressed are disguised in “It’s for the well-being of everyone” where it’s really encouraging behaviour that creates exploitation.
