"Rich Dad Poor Dad" delves into Robert Kiyosaki's life lessons learned from two father figures: his own father, the "poor dad," who valued traditional education and a stable job, and his friend's father, the "rich dad," who encouraged financial education and investing. The book contrasts their approaches to money, emphasizing the importance of financial literacy, investing in assets over liabilities, and the pursuit of financial independence. Kiyosaki advocates for using entrepreneurship and savvy investing (particularly in real estate and stocks) as vehicles to wealth, challenging conventional wisdom on employment and savings. Through personal anecdotes and practical advice, the book aims to reshape the reader's understanding of money and inspire a path to financial freedom.
