Rich Dad Poor Dad is a personal finance classic that contrasts the financial philosophies of two father figures in Robert Kiyosaki’s life—his biological father (the "Poor Dad") and the father of his best friend (the "Rich Dad"). Through their differing approaches to money and investing, Kiyosaki illustrates key lessons about wealth-building, financial literacy, and the mindset required for financial success. Rich Dad Poor Dad challenges traditional notions of education and job security, advocating for the importance of entrepreneurship, real estate investment, and the pursuit of financial independence. The book encourages readers to shift their thinking from earning a paycheck to making money work for them, and emphasizes the significance of financial education in achieving long-term wealth.
