Get a behind-the-scenes peek at Why We Want You to Be Rich in this video interview with Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki. They pair talk about their very different backgrounds, their mutual admiration for one another,and how they came up with the idea to write Why We Want You to Be Rich together.

From Publishers Weekly
The wildly financially successful authors of this book state, early on, that a reader will not find in its pages specific advice on how to make or invest money. It's more a book of philosophy (note the "why" in the title), and if it's not exactly Kierkegaardian in scope or language, this collaboration of real estate magnate and rags-to-riches financial guru manages to entertain and to inform. Written in bite-size chunks and adorned with quotes (some from the authors' previous works or speeches) and graphs, it explains why some people get rich and others... well, don't. Some tales are shopworn: the many references to Warren Buffett are tales well told, for example, but what works best are the aphorisms and the personality type descriptions within the "CASHFLOW Quadrant"—no matter what you do for a living, in your heart are you an E, an S, a B or an I? (Key: E=employee; B=big business owner; S=self-employed, specialist or small business owner; I=investor.) But Trump and Kiyosaki (Rich Dad, Poor Dad) together are a strangely winning combination (they've published this book jointly and privately—and a portion of its profits will be donated to charity). Bottom line: these Messrs. Money-bags know their business. We're talking billionaires here, and really, how can you argue with success? (Oct.)

A Decent Collaboration!!
This is a book for the fans. I define fans as people who will buy everything their favorite author or guru puts out and might read it but probably won't.
I got a lot of "You can do it", and personal observations on what it takes to become rich. Some of the points though I have issue with. For instance, when Kiyosaki starts off with his ratios...you know 80-20, 90-10 stuff...I mean, I hear ya with stick to what you're good at, but what's wrong with trying new things? If you mess up...oh well.
Trump is just along for the ride. He figured free publicity and just rambles about basic stuff.
If you want to save a couple of bucks....re-read RDPD and Guide To Investing.

Very good book
I enjoyed pretty much reading this book, it was interesting to see that both of this famous men where once in their life in financial crisis and have huge experience in how to make money work for you instead of working for it; I recommend this book and confirm that in this world if someone wants to succeed and concentrates all of his efforts to do it there's no doubt excellent results can be gained. It comes to my mind Frank Sinatra's song New York, New York when he sings the part of "If I can make it there I'll make it anywhere..." that's in summary what I learned from both Mr. Trump and Mr. Kiyosaki

If you read Rich Dar Poor Dad you don't need this book
Rehashed information about Rich Dad Poor Dad. Donald Trump's side of the book is usually like a paragraph summary of what Robert said.
