Rich Dad Poor Dad

Rich Dad Poor Dad, the first volume of the Rich Dad series, presents Robert Kiyosaki’s influential personal finance philosophy through the story of two father figures. His biological father, a well-educated employee, struggled financially, while his best friend’s father, an entrepreneur with street smarts, built significant wealth. Their opposing views on money, work, and investing shaped Kiyosaki’s lifelong approach to financial education.

This book dismantles common money myths, such as the need for a high salary to become rich or the idea that a home is always an asset. It explains the critical difference between assets and liabilities, redefines good and bad debt, and urges readers to take control of their financial learning. Translated worldwide, Kiyosaki’s message challenges conventional thinking and points toward financial independence through a shift in mindset.
