How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

4.0 out of 5 starsPlay it in the car for the whole family ... just see what happens.
Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2017
Even if you just play the audiobook in the car while your kids pretend not to listen, it can't hurt.

That's what I've been doing and then I'll turn it off and my 11-year old asked me to better explain Assets versus Liabilities as we got out of the car.

See! He WAS listening!

The "That You Don't Learn in School!" subtitle helped my kids at least pretend to listen.

I've always been a self-educator (sounds a bit like "self-medicator" but ... different--or is it?) and I'm usually pushing anything onto my kids that I can.

I believe that "regular education" doesn't necessarily prepare most of us for "real life." Stuff like marriage, parenting, and finance. Maybe it's not supposed to. Maybe it's supposed to be for rote learning, art history, and advanced calculus. I don't know. No, really, I don't know.

I'm pretty much a fan of anything that wants to teach me something as I think that I'll at least learn something. If there are 10 things and I learn 1, it's more than 0. See? A bit of math I just snuck in there.

Robert T. Kiyosaki is a legend when it comes to finance and " ... has held a top spot on the New York Times bestsellers list for over six years - is an investor, entrepreneur, and educator whose perspectives on money and investing fly in the face of conventional wisdom." (from his Amazon author page)

In this book for teens, he does just that and especially covers those three topics: investing, entrepreneurship, and education.

My kids didn't listen but they heard.

Although I don't think my kids took notes (OK, no, they didn't) or will actually knowingly, consciously implement any of Kiyasaki's very well-thought-through ideas and strategies, just hearing it is a big help.

After listening one day in the car (where I have a captive audience, hint hint), there was mention of a rental property one day and my youngest boy (12) kind of understood what the topic was. Thanks to Rich Dad, Poor Dad: Teens.

This is a micro book. I don’t think this was very well represented, or maybe I’m just an idiot.

Wisdom from Rich Dad for Teens is an excerpt only. It is a hardback, on the right.
The full text paperback version is on the right. Many of these reviews indicate there is confusion between the products.

3.0 out of 5 stars More like pre-teens

By miniature addition I was not expecting this book to be about 3.5 inches by 2.5 inches. This thing is SMALL. What else is small? The actual useable info. Lacking any genuine information outside what you could find for free with a single web search. As an 18 year old, this book more fits a pre-teen type role.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good content, but its size is too small
Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2020

I bought this book because Im a freshman in college and I am interested in learning about money, when the book arrived I thought it had a good presentation, my only concern was that since the book is so small its sometimes hard to read. Aside from that the book is a pretty good basis to understand his non teen version of the book, its only helpfull if you have no knowledge whatsoever about this matter, if this is not your case I recommend his original rich dad poor dad. If you dont mind its size, and you need a good basis about money this is a good option.

I read the Rich Dad Poor Dad book a number of years ago. When I came across this book I was very excited that there was a book I could give to my niece and nephew. I purchased the book and read it over the weekend. I found it easy to read with concise digestible concepts that teenagers will understand. I highly recommend this book!

1.0 out of 5 stars 2 x 2 inch books- beware!
Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2020

Hello Everyone,

I write this review in pure frustration. I purchased 22 of these books for my students- totaling over $250 bucks and the books are barely 2 x 2 inches. I cannot believe the books are literally THIS small. Its smaller than my credit card!! The information in it does not compare to the actual book and had I realized they were this little- I would have never purchased 22 of them!! Most of the great and useful information has been eradicated in this version and is just not worth it! Sorry. I made a huge mistake buying these books instead of the original book- which is like a dollar or two more. I would have rathered 22 of those! Way too small for a teen. My students laughed and kind of tossed it to the side.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good if you need motivation, but there are other options worth considering...
Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2022

Rich Dad, Poor Dad is really about encouragement to invest in yourself early and often in one’s life. For that, I applaud Mr. Kiyosaki as doing this will absolutely make a difference in your life.

While the story is interesting and the basic principles he preaches makes sense and are sound, he really doesn’t offer any investing advice. (more on that below).

In addition, he is fairly verbose and long-winded, and tends to repeat the same things over and over again.

His advice is pretty straight forward and boils down to this:

1. The first investment you should make is in yourself. Write a check to your investment accounts before you pay for anything else.
2. Do it early and consistently through your life; you’ll have a nest egg that makes income for yourself. Instead of you earning income to pay the bills, create income that pays the bills for you.
3. The longer you wait, the harder it gets.

Certainly, well worth the read. For those that have some familiarity with personal investing, I’d suggest you read perhaps the first couple of chapters, then skim them and read the chapter summaries – you’ll save a ton of time.

As an alternative to Rich Dad, Poor Dad, I’d strongly encourage you to check out Retire Before Mom and Dad: The Simple Numbers Behind A Lifetime of Financial Freedom by Rob Berger.

Mr. Berger brings a different approach to this dialogue by focusing on the economics of personal investing in a way that those new to personal investing can easily understand and more importantly put into action. And he does it in a fun and sometimes whimsical tone that will capture the reader’s attention while explaining important investment concepts.

Put simply, Rich Dad, Poor Dad really is about why we should be motivated to invest, while Retire Before Mom and Dad, is more about how, with modern investment resources we can all invest.

4.0 out of 5 stars This HAS to be a Joke... (UPDATE: This little book is Legit)
Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2022

Are you kidding me????
I guess this is what I get for not reading the reviews 🤦🏽
I bought three of these things for my nieces. I'm going to read it before I give it to them and then see what they get out of it.
I know it doesn't always take alot of words to get a message across... But REALLY??? 😕
Based on their feedback, I may change my rating 🙄 😒

-‐-UPDATE After I Read---
Looks can be deceiving. This book may be small, but it is full of Golden Nuggets. In my opinion, It Is a MUST Read. It's a shorter version of (kind of sums up) the "Rich Dad Poor Dad" book and "Richest Man in Babylon".
Hopefully it will be able to get through to my nieces. (Saving the 5th Star for their feedback) 👍🏽
