Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki

Description

“Rich Dad Poor Dad” is a personal finance book by Robert Kiyosaki, first published in 1997. The book contrasts the financial philosophies of Kiyosaki’s two fathers: his biological father, the “poor dad,” and the father of his best friend, the “rich dad.” Through these contrasting perspectives, Kiyosaki explores the importance of financial education, investment, real estate, and the mindset necessary to become financially independent.

The core message of the book is the value of financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and the significance of creating and investing in assets rather than accumulating liabilities. Kiyosaki emphasizes that a traditional education does not adequately teach one to manage finances and that financial freedom is achieved through a mindset that values wealth-building and financial intelligence. “Rich Dad Poor Dad” has become one of the best-selling personal finance books of all time, sparking discussions on financial practices and education worldwide.
