5.0 out of 5 stars Happy Fathers Day Rich Dad!, June 15, 2003

By A Customer

As the saying goes, Father knows best and in Rich Dad Poor Dad, bestselling author Robert Kiyosaki provides powerful and pragmatic money management strategies passed on to him by his Rich Dad.

RDPD is the book that started it all and still a best seller. Justifiably so because the advice really works.

I also recommend the other books in the Rich Dad advisor series to meet your personal needs.

Regardless of whether you are interested in learning more about real estate investing, buying or selling a business, creating a second income or a new career or just general financial issues, you will find the advice you are looking for in RDPD and in the Rich Dad's Advisors Series.

Happy Fathers Day Rich Dad and thanks for sharing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why listen to Kiyosaki and add to his wealth?, September 29, 2005

By	Terry Masterson (Lockhart, Fl) - See all my reviews

Best way to answer that is with another question. What is your net worth and how does that compare to what Mr. Kiyosaki is worth? Here is another question. How does your net worth compare to the many successful Kiyosaki students?

Less than 2% of people in America are doing well. Less than 2% in the richest country in the world!

It pays to listen to someone like Robert Kiyosaki.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most successful financial book of all time!, March 25, 2003

By A Customer

Rich Dad Poor Dad has become the single most successful-best selling financial book ever---and for good reason; the advice works. It tells people not what they want to hear, but they need to hear.I also recommend Rich Dad's Guide to Investing which offers better investing strategies than just blindly buying mutual funds or listening to your broker without rhyme or reason.I wish you continued success!
