Two words- BUY IT!
For anyone who's serious about their financial health, this is a must read. Easily explained, graphically delivered so that you know the importance of being on the right hand side of the quadrant if you want to be financially free. Essentially, these are the main points of the quadrant:

E = employee = you own a job
S = Self-employed = you control a job
I = Investor = Money works for you
B = Business Owner = Business Systems work for you

Its surprising how many people don't understand these simple concepts and they continue to go about their lives unhappy about their 9-5 job, wanting more money or more time.

It's simple to follow the advice in this book and change the patterns you are in. RK is proving to be one of the best Financial Freedom Gurus of our time!

Not a rehash of Rich Dad, Poor Dad
Frankly, I had doubt as to whether this book is sort of a rehash of the "Rich Dad, Poor Dad". Fortunately, after I read it, I found that it was neither a waste of money buying it nor a waste of time reading it. Mr. Kiyosaki has elucidated his message, which is implied in his "Rich Dad, Poor Dad", clearly and systematically in this book. My own copy has underlings throughout now, and I suppose that it will become dog-eared very soon. Thanks to this book, I have got a much clearer long-term perspective and strategy with my personal finance.

My only complaint is that the author should have integrated "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and "Rich Dad, Poor Dad 2" into a single book. Having said that, this might have been one of the sales strategies of the author, which has made him so rich.

a joy!
What an insightful book. Robert's intellect is second to none. The message is a pragmatic, realistic one just on how easy it is to become wealthy - if you can handle it! Most people in our culture are conditioned with the 'wage slave' mentality. It's just a fact of life. How liberating to realise that you don't have to remain one of them! The only people who won't like this book's message are, frankly, those who are just too afraid to take the risks and changes of attitude necessary to 'cross over' to the side of the 'boss'. It's all in the book! It's 'easy', but takes courage to cross that bridge to freedom. I found the book a real joy!
