Publisher's summary

Kiyosaki expands on his belief that the school system was created to churn out Es / Employees...those "A Students" who read well, memorize well and test well... and not the creative thinkers, visionaries, and dreamers - entrepreneurs-in-the-making...those "C Students" who grow up to be the innovators and creators of new ideas, businesses, applications, and products.

The audiobook urges parents not to be obsessed with their kids' "letter grades" ("good grades" might only mean they or the student themselves were successful in jamming a square peg into a round hole...) and focus, instead, on concepts, ideas, and helping their child find their true genius, their special gift. The path they can pursue with a love and true passion.

Robert showcases success stories of "C Students" who grew up to be phenomenal successes - and HIRED those "A Students" (attorneys, accountants, and other school-smart specialists) to work in their businesses... while the more average students, "B Students", often find themselves in government-type jobs....

Not surprisingly, Kiyosaki will coin his own definitions of what "A," "B," and "C" stand for as he gives parents and their children bits of wisdom as well as insights and tools for navigating an ever-changing world...an Information Age world where the ability to change and adapt, understand relationships, and anticipate the future will shape their lives.

Excellent- Audio version

I thought this was a great book. The narrator is clear and reads the book well. I can't say I agree with every single idea in the book, but it did open my mind to a lot of new ideas. Most importantly it has gotten me on the tract of teaching my kids about financial education. Highly recommend.

his best yet!

I've listened to nearly all the books on the rich dad series and this is perhaps the best. both cautionary and inspiring at the same time, Robert tells the truth about how the economic system works, why it crashed, why it is doomed and what we can do for ourselves and our children in light of the system's fundamental flaws.

Must read for patents and Undergrads

This book summarizes everything you need to know for coming up with a success plan in today's unstable economy,

He covers in nuggets the history of our govt, federal reserve , fiat currency and the different quadrants.

He lays it out in a simple form what you need to do.

A must read !

Incredibly boring, political, condescending

Any additional comments?

I liked his other books more. This one is light on information and heavy on drawn out anecdotes that don't really teach much as much as preach basic opinions.

Good information - uncorrelated anecdotes

The book has good information and certainly very useful for kids and adults. The advice is invaluable.

Only issue is that some of the anecdotes to correlate the stories and some references to the economy are about accurate. Example he mentioned the recession in the 1920s made the Dow drop and only bounced back after 20+ years and hence the current recession may take so much. Well the Dow bounced back already during gosh recession.

Sometimes buying a liability may be necessary - car for family - but he makes it sound useless and ignores the opportunity cost of not having a car when you have a large family.

Overall I will recommend this book but don't put your heart in all the advice. Customize it for our situation.
