A stunning sequal to Rich Dad Poor Dad
This is the what to think about after the wake up call of Rich Dad Poor Dad. Even though I have just finished an MBA this series of books has altered the was that I look at the future in a fundemental way - I have even set up my own company, learnt how the tax system works and invested in property because of it (after a lot of work). Even my wife is reading it and she loves it - making it the first business book that she has ever read! Read Rich Dad Poor Dad first and this one will get you out of bed and thinking!

Repetitive and simple . . . but that's what makes it good.
Like the book before it and the ones following, this book is written in a very simple and repetitive fashion. Often the same quotes and statements are reused just pages apart. However, I believe that's exactly what makes it good, for the simple reason that getting rich is not simple, is a long process, and with no sensible short cuts. It requires a solid foundation based on the right sort of intelligence - and that's what this series of books drums into the reader. Furthermore, the fact that there is simply so much to read (if you read the series), gives you the opportunity to digest all the lessons before leaping into action with too much hast.

Get out of the Rat Race and change your life in the process.
This is no 'get rich quick manual', and is all the better for it - but it will shift the paradigms of what has become, for most of us, the conventional view of work and money. Written in a similar style to the 'one minute manager' series of books is perhaps the only downside of this wonderful volume. The message is essentially simple and illustrated well by examples and diagrams. If you want to become finacially free and actually have your money work for YOU and not the bank, mortgage lender, or tax-man then invest in buying the book and the time to read it. Then begin the journey to financial freedom. The important points are periodically repeated so as to re-affirm the knowledge, which I think is good for any reader at any level. There are 'get out clauses' that allow the reader to finish the book early if they don't think the philosophy will suit them and so not waste their time. I challenge any one to put the book the book down before the last page!
