From Library Journal
In this fifth addition to his highly successful "Rich Dad" series, Kiyosaki (Rich Dad Poor Dad) now focuses on the power of debt leveraging in order to work less and earn more. Beginning with the principle of changing attitudes about financial freedom, he explains the difference between earned income and passive or investment income, managing good debt that makes money for you, such as in real estate, the fundamental concern about 401(k) retirement plans that are too focused on stock market performance, and the need to create a long-term financial freedom plan and the emotional discipline to stick to it. Listeners will likely be captivated as they learn how to replicate his success, and the crisp narration by Jim Ward definitely makes this fact-filled collection of sound financial advice another hit for Kiyosaki. The solid, practical insight into how to put together a plan to financial freedom will require a commitment to changing lifestyles and personal attitudes about work and, of course, enough time left in life to allow the investments to succeed. Highly recommended for all public libraries, especially those that have not yet begun to add Kiyosaki's other super titles to their business and investment collections. Dale Farris, Groves, TX

From AudioFile
The RICH DAD, POOR DAD author urges us to shift from a wage-earner mentality to the fast track of creating assets that make money for us. He shows that presumably safe methods like a steady job and blue chip stocks are flawed; he recommends educating oneself and taking a few risks. The program focuses on rental property, building a small business, and network marketing as good ways to create a money machine. The tone of the program and the author's personal success stories are very convincing. For a break from buy-and-hold financial advice that really gets at the heart of why we work and invest the way we do, few other personal finance writers are as clear, concise, and influential.

Customer Reviews

Very good guide
Wish I read it when I was 15! A very good and clear book on creating value in terms of assets and cashflow. Though much is said about properties, it can be applicable to many businesses or ventures of a passive income nature to work towards financial freedom.

Better than Rich Dad, Poor Dad
I read this book and Rich Dad, Poor Dad and really felt this book was an all around better book. It went into not only more detail explaining things, but I like the depths of stories better as well in this book. I recommend that you buy this book.

Check Out the Person
Saw this guy hawking his hype on TV and decided to do a little background checking. While his general priciples are expoused by any financial "guru" the fact remains he's been bankrupt at least once following his own information. Real estate is risky business and not the bed of roses he makes it out to be. Just wait until your first stinker of a renter and when the state comes a calling because the person you rented a 1 bedroom apartment to has two kids and the law doesn't allow this (after the person told you they had no kids).

Wouldn't surprise me that most of his money comes from selling these books more than real estate.
