I think I like the written version better becuase I like to dog ear/book mark sections to refer back to.

Yes I would like to try another book form Kiyosaki. I think I am a little more fiscally conservative than the auther but there are some good takaways which I would like to implement.

Possibly, I thought some reviews were a little harsh.

I recently signed up for one of Kiyosaki's free seminars based on this book.

I was making money by doing what I thought was right. I got married and stopped expanding on my businesses. This book reminded me about going back and doing what I was doing by taking initiatives. I don't care for chasing carrots as described in the book. What a great book . CK

Most everyone needs to read Rich Dad Poor Dad. If our government followed the basic premise of Kiyasaki's wisdom, USA wouldn't have the trillions in deficits today. Imagine life of financial assets instead of liabilities. Get this book and listen. Then listen again .

Easy to listen to!

Not really. I listened over about 3 days.

Ironic that the author remarks within the work how he does not like a lecture, and this presentation was an excellent Audible lecture... listening was a great way to hear the author's emphasis, getting more from the ideas he has to share; I don't agree with all that he presents, as moral philosophy, but the perspective and reality of what he has to say makes an impression and makes one consider presented theories.

The whole narrative conversation, especially from the beginning, formulating motivation and premise for education.

The initial impact of ideas with "Rich Dad".

The whole focused perspective and understanding of defined asset centered investment.

Will want to listen again and perhaps seek out the workbook?

I would, and will, listen to Rich Dad Poor Dad again. My values do not align with Kiyosaki's. He emphasizes financial wealth over other assets I consider more important. For example, he seems unaware of the value of investing energy in friendships. It's likely that he is a lonely, resented man. It's not cool that he glorifies what I see as ripping off employees. And, although he's a savvy and bold investor, it's ludicrous and irresponsible to assert that listeners will get ahead by taking the same risks he has.That being said, the lessons he's drawn from his life experiences and shares in this audio book opened my mind to potentially useful strategies for handling my own money. He helps me understand the good intentions underlying certain kinds of greed, and that's likely to make me a more compassionate person. This audio book really does deliver on its promise: it presents lessons a money-savvy mentor can share that most "poor dads" cannot.Four stars because it's interesting, engaging, and potentially useful, and because it is what it claims to be. Not five, because his teachings tend to be flat and naive.

The author himself is an over-the-top character. He's a Donald Trump type who seems blissfully unaware of his own shortcomings.

I got a little impatient early on when Kiyosaki indulged in excessive set-up to the meat of the book. Instead of naming a favorite scene, I'll say that the audio book has more substance in the middle than its rambling opening suggests.

I made it through the book, while performing mindless household tasks, in one long listen. (with several bathroom and mental-health breaks.)

Nope. The basic content of the book could be and should have been summarized in about 25 pages. The autobiographic parts of the book are unbelievable. No nine-year-old kid from the 50's would stand up to an adult as portrayed. No 50-something-year-old man could recall with absolute certainty and clarity the detailed conversations four decades old reported in the book. Oh, and spoiler alert: the author has daddy issues.

And sooooooo repetitive. Geez, he makes the same points (good points mind you) over and again to the point of nausea.

The reader did the best he could with the material

I liked the book, and it gave me some really interesting things to think about. I do not agree with the author on everything. It was very cool to hear things from a different point of view. The book helped me to see a different point of view on some issues and that is ALWAYS valuable.

Anti-intellectuals. Tea Party supporters. Anyone who hates government employees. High school drop-outs who hope to exceed the lifestyle of their (former) childhood friends who pursued college degrees.

Something intelligent.

It is unfortunate that Tim Wheeler is associated with this inane book.

The author Robert Kiyosaki.

Wow! It is so hard to write a review for a book this bad. Anti-intellectual, joke, pretentious, self-absorbed, farce, ... what else is there to say? If you are a Tea Party lover who lives in a trailer park; this is your book. If you have high school degree, you will recognize this piece of trash for the lame manifesto that it is.

Here is the essence of the book: "Real Estate rental income = good.... Taxes = bad. Public employees = very bad. Anyone who earns a salary and has a benefit package is a socialist (i.e. police department, fire department, public school and college teachers) are the bane of all good hearted capitalists.

I don't normally write reviews. I don't have the time. I read books, listen to lectures, absorb ideas and move on. But this idiot makes Sarah Palin look like an intellectual. How many times can you repeat the same drivel about the middle class "not knowing the difference between an asset and a liability"? There are at least 50 pages of the same repetitive message.

I have met a ton of self-made millionaires, and very few of them have the pompous and ridiculous attitude that this moron does. The moral of the story is: "The good man/woman avoids taxes and shelters (hides) his/her income at all costs. Anyone who works for the government is the root of all evil. Free the capitalists let them loose and they will heal the world. Amen!"

Yes, great to hear a well known book

I'm not so sure.

No

No

The narration is very poor. An almost condescending tone throughout.

The book is very interresting. I disagree with some arguments but we got to say the author knows what he's talking about.

Something I would point out for the first time reader is to pay attention to the author's biography and not just take everything he says.

For sure it is worth reading!

Enjoy!
