Got this as a gift before I had even heard of Kiyosaki. A self-made multi-millionaire friend of mine told me I had to read it if I wanted to understand the difference between me and him.

I have to say, he was right.

Not everyone will resonate with this book. Some people may be downright offended by the blunt direction Kiyosaki takes with discussing the mindset and strategy necessary to create true financial independence that does not rely on a boss, or the increasing gamble of a "steady" 401k.

Whether or not Kioysaki's style is your cup of tea or not, the lessons are 100% true, in that to truly be financially independent, you have to get your money working for you, rather than you working for your money. Whether it be investing, real estate, Kiyosaki's most important lessons come in via the "Cashflow Quadrant."

I would recommend this book for anyone who is SERIOUS about massively changing their future, thinking about becoming a business owner, or has the commitment to financial independence.

I would NOT recommend this book to anyone who is curious about "making more money", getting a higher paying job, or comfortable with their current lifestyle. It will be an UNcomfortable read for you.
