I too was eagerly awaiting this new book by Kiyosaki. Tired of hearing allegations as to "who has really benefitted from his teachings" I eagerly bought this book and read this new addition to the Rich Dad series.

I really think the reader from Chicago is missing the point. The fact is more wealth has been made in real estate than in any other venture. No other business or investment can compare. Writing books? C'mon now! Do you have any idea on how many books get turned down each year? And of those that are published, how many do you suppose really make any real money?

Many of Kiyosaki's critics have been asking for evidence that his strategies work. Well here it is in Real Life Success Stories from Real Life People who followed the Rich Dad lessons.
Like it or not, this is how "Real People" are making "Real Money" in Real Estate.

Perhaps in some future volume, Kiyosaki will profile business success stories and I look forward to those as well. But for the masses, Real Estate is the key.

Good book Mr. Kiyosaki but I doubt this will silence your critics----too bad for them!

In this new book by Robert Kiyosaki, Robert completely blows away the allegation that his philosophy doesn't work. Ecuses are completely taken out.I enjoyed the business and real estate success stories and I look forward to Kiyosaki's next foray.Good book Robert. Very inspiring.

I just finished reading Rich Dad's Success Stories and Rich Dad Poor Dad.Rich Dad's Success Stories was very inspiring. Great to see people from all walkd of life and different ages succeed and so quickly too! Rich Dad Poor Dad offers a paridimn shift and really sold me on the concept of starting my own business, getting into real estate and 86-ing my J-O-B which really does stand for just over broke.Rich Dad Poor Dad also got me to think of several creative income ideas. I will never go back to think the old way again.A friend of mine has the Rich Dad board game. I couldn't believe how poorly I did (that was before reading the books) and that was my wake up call. I was using Poor Dad thinking which explains why I wasn't getting anywhere. Now that I have read these two books, I am looking forward to playing the game again and then on to the more advanced game.More importantly, it's on to financial self reliance ala Kiyosaki.Thank you Robert for 2 outstanding books. I will be adding other RD books to my library soon. Your books are the only ones that I have bought that actually deliver on their promises....and then some.

After reading this outstanding new book by Robert Kiyosaki, "Rich Dad's Success Stories" I decided to fulfill my lifelong dream (I am 46) to start my own business.The chapter on the couple from Arizona who started their own business while in their 50's really inspired me.I spotted an ad in the business opportunty section of my newspaper that was for sale. Then using some creative financing, nailed it!While I always had the dream, "Rich Dad's Success Stories" inspired me to make the move.Thank you Robert.

After reading some of the negative reviews on the other Rich Dad books especially the first one, I was skeptical about the real value of Robert Kiyosaki and felt he was just a "get rich quick" guru.

After reading this book, I am convinced that Kiyosaki is for real. More than that, I came in contact with people who have used successfully Kiyosaki's strategies and philosophy and are making some serious money.

So impressed was I that I went ahead and bought Rich Dad Poor Dad, Cash Flow Quadrant, Rich Dad's Guide to Investing and Rich Dad's Prophecy.

I also recommended this book to many of my friends but alas the bookstore was all sold out after only a few days. I am now recommending that they order through Amazon.

Thank you Mr. Kiyosaki for a very exciting book.

While many people amass wealth, how many are willing to share their methods? And while there are many books available on how to suppossedly acquire wealth, how many are actually written by people who have done it?

Robert T. Kiyosaki is a man who has done it and is willing to share the wealth with people like you and me. He also has the gift of being an excellent writer and teacher, just like his Rich Dad was a excellent teacher.

In Rich Dad Success Stories you will find the proof that Kiyosaki's system really works. You'll read real estate success stories, business success stories and more. I even read a story of a 13 year old who bought a 3/2 condo! And there were people in their late 50's and 60's, suffering from corporate downsizing and broke from going through their savings who created super successful businesses.

I highly recommend this book along with the original Rich Dad Poor Dad. This book and Mr. Kiyosaki was recommended to me by a friend. I have hence recommended Kiyosaki's books to 10 others who have bought and applied his teachings. Good stuff. It really works.

This book shows just how powerful the "Rich Dad" Formula really is. From 9 year olds to 60 year olds are claiming financial independence and freedom thanks to Rich Dad.

WARNING: Your broker, CFP and other financial people are hoping you never read this book. Mutual Fund companies are also hoping you never read this book. Your boss also hopes you never read this book.

"Rich Dad's Success Stories" is a powerful book and shows once and for all that anyone can benefit from "Rich Dad's" advice.

This one is a must listen to audio program for your library.

There are a lot of people out there that will attack Kiyosaki for a lot of reasons, although none of them good or credible.

For quite some time, bashers have been asking; "where is the proof", "we should be seeing some great success stories, but don't hold your breath." etc., etc.

Now Kiyosaki comes out with the facts. Well researched and documented. And how do Kiyosaki's critics repsond? Do they finally say; "great you have delivered on your promises?" Are they happy and pleased? No. The only response they have is to use a overhyped, cheesey website that has zero credibility, also has products for sale albeit cheap, generic real estate and investment advice and they want you to think that is the proof.

Give me a break! At a time when anyone with a couple of dollars can set up a website, it means nothing. Where are the success stories behind this website? What has this individual ever done other than create a cheap tabloid version of a website? And beware, if in fact you do go to that website, you will inundated with spam. Get the message on what you are dealing with?

Besides, if this website was truly that great, why does the creator of that website have to live day and night on the internet to promote it for the last 5 years and still get no visitors?

I highly recommend you read "Rich Dad's Success Stories" even if you borrow it from your library (at least Rich Dad books are available at your library. Try finding these self published books promoted by the website guy there. Fat chance!)

Talk with people at your local bookstore who have bought Rich Dad books (that is how I got started) you may even find a local club or a mentor in your area.

"Rich Dad Success Stories" as the name implies is not a how to book, it does however show that many have done it following the Kiyosaki strategies.

I would first recommend that you buy "Rich Dad Poor Dad" then "Cash Flow Quadrant" and "Rich Dad's Guide to Investing."
If your focus is on real estate read "Real Estate Loopholes" or "Real Estate Riches."

If your goal is more headed towards investing in the stock market then after "Rich Dad's Guide to Investing" add "Rich Dad's Prophecy."

If your goal is business, then read "Rich Dad's Guide to Buying and Selling a Business" and "How to start your own Corporation" by Garrett Sutton one of the fine Rich Dad advisors.

There is a wealth of information available in the Rich Dad series of books. I don't know about you, but I would rather read someone who has done it ala Kiyosaki and his advisors as opposed to people who run tabloid type websites and have yet to do their first deal.

Good luck with your investing and Mr. Kiyosaki, thank you!

Rich Dad's Success Stories may very well be the best of the Rich Dad series because it is so inspiring. It prooves that what Kiyosaki has been preaching and teaching works.

And it is so obvious that the few 1 star reviewers have not even bothered to read the book (save the free sample pages)

Read the book first as well as the original Rich Dad Poor Dad. And more importantly try it for awhile.

I suspect that 1 star reviewers are people who tried the Rich Dad board game, failed due to poor programming and now want to lash at at Robert Kiyosaki. Or people who have a personal vendetta against RTK and will never admit that they are the one's that are wrong!

Too bad for them!

Unfortunately, these people will be stuck in their dead end jobs and living paycheck to paycheck too.

Rich Dad Success stories is a good book

I am fan of Robert Kiyosaki, however I found this book very disappointing. The stories are so new that they really only talk about people making life-changing decisions in the last few years. It would have been better to tell stories about people who have spent at least 5 years utilizing Kiyosaki's principles, so we could see if their new life decisions were effective etc. Or, wait a bit longer and write about these people in a few years time. Two much better books to buy for stories about successful property investors would be two Australian books (and no, I have nothing to do with their authors or any company associated with their promotion):
(1) Jan Somers: Building Wealth Story by Story; and
(2) Jim McKnight: Ordinary Millionaires.
