If you don't plan on working hard all your life... this book is for you. If you're ready to retire (or want to retire early enough to enjoy your retirement years) you can learn from Robert's story of how he and his wife Kim started with nothing and "retired" - financially free - in less than 10 years. This book makes the case for how a context shift in the way we think about money and investing allows us to see opportunities others miss and create the life you deserve.

Marketing for seminars

Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2017

Verified Purchase

Not really what I expected. I bought this as recommendation from a family member. I should've googled Kiyosaki first. I would've saved myself hours of reading. The book does present some interesting ideas, but rather than actionable content, it's filled with a bunch of questionable or vague stories and rhetoric clearly meant to persuade readers to sign up for his seminars.

I feel like I have learned more from this book than what I learned in high school. Don't just read the book put it into action and find how you can make it work for you. The information provided will improve your income just put it into action.

Motivational more than educational

Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2015

Verified Purchase

this book was suggested to me by a friend who makes $12 million/ year. It was the first book I read by Robert Kiyosaki and serves as a great motivational book to put you in the right mindset to want to learn more. However, his methods mentioned in this book are outdated in the sense that his "passive income" is now taxed heavily. Like all of his books, the first half is strictly trying to change your mindset and the second half talks more about how to pursue your goals. There's nothing in here that makes you completely ready to go pursue the goals you make while reading this book, as goes for all of his books. It serves strictly as motivation and it takes a lot more reading, studying, and talking to the right people if you want to carry out the plan set forth in this book, especially in today's economy. If you want to learn what it takes to become rich, read this. If you want to become rich yourself, you're going to have to do a lot of independent research outside of Kiyosaki's teachings. Great motivation though and I've read lots of other books to get me where this book wants to take me

Repetitious and Boring

Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2016

If you've ever read any of Robert's other books then you have read this one. The more I learn about investing the less his books seem to appeal to me. The retelling of Rich Dad's stories is very repetitious and boring since the same stories are reference several times throughout the book and chapters.

I'm sure that I gained some nuggets of information from this book however it could have been condensed into a much shorter book. Robert often talks about the value of your time, lesson #1 don't read this book if you value your time.

A very important, new perspective

Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2014

Verified Purchase

Before purchasing this book for my kindle (and the related Audible audiobook), I read many of the reviews that talk about how this particular book is mostly a re-hash of prior information. As someone who has read/listened to Rich Dad Poor Dad, The Cashflow Quadrant, and Rich Dad's Guide to Investing, I therefore made the purchase with some degree of skepticism. However, considering the priceless value that I derived from the first three books of the five book series (I have not read or listened to Rich Kid Smart Kid yet, book four) meant that even if this were a complete fumble, I would still be way ahead overall.

I just finished this book and am pleased to say that I completely disagree with anyone who says this is a "re-hash" of prior books or information. While Kiyosaki does recount some of the same stories and experiences as in prior books, it is critical to note that the purpose for doing so and the perspective from which the reader should view the story is very different.

I believe Kiyosaki's purpose in writing this book is to try to "get through" to many of the people who "don't get it" after reading Rich Dad Poor Dad, The Cashflow Quadrant, or Rich Dad's Guide to Investing. He does this by focusing like a laser on two main ideas: The idea of "context" versus "content" and the power of leverage. These two themes permeate the book and if you read/listen with an open mind, and truly internalize what Kiyosaki is trying to communicate, you will realize that this book just may be the most important of the entire series.

Kiyosaki explains that the idea of becoming rich, or traversing the proverbial looking glass from the world of the poor and middle class to the world of the rich, is impossible to comprehend from a poor or middle class world view. A person's world view (where money is concerned) defines the limit of their potential. All of the "how tos" and "guide books" of what people did to become rich are worthless if your mind is unable to view the world of money in the proper perspective. He says it is like water being poured into a glass, where the water is "content" or "knowledge" and the glass is "context" or "perspective." Keep pouring water into a small vessel and it simply spills over and is lost. This book is designed to help people expand their context to the point where some of the content that is also described in this book becomes useful.

Kiyosaki attempts to bridge this gap by describing many of the different types of "leverages" that the rich use to get richer. Beginning with a description of how "good debt" can be leveraged to great effect (and contrasting and comparing how achieving the same investment objectives with equity is much much slower), Kiyosaki demonstrates how the use of different types of leverage results in "quantum" or "exponential" growth in income as opposed to "incremental" income growth. Among the other types of leverages discussed, Kiyosaki describes with great persuasiveness how the rich use leverage to earn money in the stock market by using options trading techniques.

In my own personal opinion, this is the most important book in the series because Kiyosaki makes it clear -- and this is the absolute truth from my own experience -- that the ONLY way to retire young and retire rich is to prepare your mind, your body, and your soul to imagine a world where there is no risk and where money can be conjured from thin air. If you believe this Otherworld is impossible, then it is. If you can imagine such a world, and take the time to look for it, then maybe you too can Retire Young and Retire Rich.

Two thumbs up, Five Stars, this book will have a dramatic, lasting impact on this writer. I am eternally indebted to Robert Kiyosaki for the knowledge he has shared in all of his books (as well as the Rich Dad Advisor Series books that I've read), and I believe that he has done the world a great service by selflessly sharing the lessons from his rich dad that led him into great wealth and financial freedom.

To all those who would criticize Robert Kiyosaki for not being a great writer, you have missed the point. I started investing in real estate in 1990 after having watched those late night TV commercials. I had no money at the time, but found a way to get my first place, then my second, etc. I have a backround as a musician, and no degree. Speaking as someone with 8 rental houses today, I can tell you I agree with 90% of what Kiyosaki says. If you want the nuts and bolts of real estate, you need to keep reading and studying.
Kiyosaki writes for overall financial perspective, and his overall perspective is correct.
There are many ways to get started in real estate, and each works best depending on location, timing, and your individual temperment and abilities.
I would caution you, don't sell the message short because you're not crazy about the messenger's style.

I get it it’s an audio book but they could include the diagrams and graphics in a small booklet or something like that. Book is well written and definitely teaches you some great ideas.

Good as an individual book, a little repetitive if you have read any others by Kiyosaki

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 8, 2014

Verified Purchase

I chose to read this book after reading "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and finding it a good read. Kiyosaki's ideas are great and throughout the two of his books he often refers to people having read the series. I actually think reading more than one of the books is where the issue lies, as each one is far too similar to the other and it starts to seem as though the same message is constantly on repeat. "Thats financial intelligence" and "buy real estate" etc etc.

I would also point out that this is not a "get rich quick" scheme to any potential readers, its a realistic way of managing and spending your money so the title is a bit misleading. Firstly, the book pretty much revolves around using real estate to make money and if you're here in the UK than you need significant capital in the first place to even consider buying any property. Kiyosaki make money in a high paying sales job in the early days, so if you're working minimum wage today and hope this can help you then you may be in for a disappointment.

Key take away from both the books I have read is how to spend more intelligently on assets that make money rather than the liabilities that dont. Its amazing the way the book makes you realise how everybody falls into the trap of earning well but having none left at the end of each pay day.

I would recommend this book if you have not read the others and similarly if you havent then I would recommend buying "Rich Dsd, Poor Dad" instead.

I cannot praise Robert Kiyosaki's books enough. Written in compelling, yet plan and simple language , that anyone can understand. He walks the walk! He is no FAKE teacher. I've annotated and highlighted this book and will no doubt revisit it many times over the coming years to make sure I am on track to retire young and retire rich. Will you do the same?

Robert is a very successful business man, each book tries to sell you more, while teaching you great lessons, in such things as investing, not just in property and business, but in education around financial intelligence. I have enjoyed all the books upto date and i am trying to use the knowledge i have gained, I think if we all learned to use the lessons in books like this we would have a very strong economy. There are alot of good books out there roberts books are among them, others i would look at are the e myth, andy shaws book regarding property investing,The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life, The Definitive Business Plan and a good reference guide is Starting a Business for Dummies

Get enlightened with underlying truths to gaining financial freedom

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 13, 2016

Verified Purchase

This book is enlightening and contains several nuggets of wisdom on financial freedom and attaining it. I feel that it would make much more easier reading if the author went straight to the point on several occasions as well as avoid repeating sentences which I believe pads up the book. The waffling bit makes it lose a star. I recommend this book to anyone looking the get well informed about the principle of attaining financial freedom. In all honesty this book has expanded my mind and reality as well as put into context some of the natural laws of life which I have read in other self development books.
