 Being a big fan of Rich Dad Poor Dad and Cashflow Quadrant, I was dying to read this book. Perhaps my expectations were too high, because I didn't like this book as much as the first two. There are some good nuggets of information in here, but it's not the life changing stuff that was Rich Dad Poor Dad and Cashflow Quadrant. I also felt like this book spent way too much time trying to sell the more expensive courses that are on his website. To me, this book is not for the people that are trying to make the transition from the E and S Quadrant to the B and I. It is for the people already in B and I that are trying to improve their skills there.
There's a ton of truth to the old adage that if you want to do something, find someone who has already done it and be just like them. Learn to think like they think. Then, do what they do. The MOST important first step is learning to change your thinking. Kiyosaki explains EXACTLY how you need to think. It has worked for me very well; well enough to bother to sit down and write this, but it has ONLY helped me because I am trainable. I am willing to change. If you're not, go buy a lottery ticket instead.

I read and enjoyed Rich Dad Poor Dad. It was inspirational and had some interesting ways of shifting the way you view money and work. This book is a crude rehashing of that, advertisement, and no detailed information you can actually use. It constantly says the great information will be in the next chapter, but it is just another fuzzy chapter of definitions, new financial lingo (i.e. Ultimate Intestor = Really rich like Bill Gates or Warren Buffet - Obvious right?), and personal anecdotes (...Rich Dad paused for a minute, and then said...) Look to some of the other great investment books out there and don't waste your time/money.
If you want a miracle cure for your finances go buy a lottery ticket. If however, you want to make meaningful change in your life; if you want to know how wealthy people think; if you are looking for something you can take to heart; if you are looking for a direction that will wind up with wealth, BUY THIS BOOK AND TAKE IT TO HEART. You must be willing to change your attitude. If that's not too much to ask, this book will point you in the right direction. I suggest you read EVERYTHING Kiyosaki prints. It has worked for me because I took what he said to heart and began to change MYSELF.
