Rich Dad Poor Dad

Robert T. Kiyosaki · 1997

The rich don't work for money — money works for them.

Summary

Kiyosaki contrasts two father figures: his real father, an educated employee who struggled financially, and his friend's father, a self-made entrepreneur. The 'rich dad' framework redefines assets (things that put money in your pocket) versus liabilities (things that take it out), and argues that financial education — not income — is the real driver of wealth. The book has critics, but its mental shifts have introduced millions to the idea of investing instead of just earning.
