Robert Kiyosaki is one of the best self-help book authors. His view of richness and financial freedom is quite different than how most people view it. Most people think big home and expensive car means that you are rich. WRONG! Rich person is one that can stop working, and his investments will earn him enough money (passive income) to allow him to live the same. In his book, Robert Kiyosaki instructs how to escape the circle of EARN MORE->BUY BIGGER HOUSE->TAKE BIGGER MORTGAGES->EARN MORE... that leads to nowhere but large debt and zero money. Robert teaches the importance of cash-flow from investments. Despite all that, his message is not completely clear, and one needs to read his book several times. I also recommend the computer game Cash Flow by Robert Kiyosaki, which is more practical.
