Rich Dad Poor Dad
Robert Kiyosaki, 1997
In one paragraph
Robert Kiyosaki's foundational guide to financial literacy and wealth building. Contrasts the money philosophies of his 'rich dad' and 'poor dad' to teach the difference between assets and liabilities, the importance of financial education, and how to think like an investor rather than an employee. Emphasizes building passive income streams and understanding cash flow.

Key insights
Assets put money in your pocket, liabilities take it out. The definition is loose and the reframing is the value.
Financial literacy is a learnable skill that formal education does not supply.
The narrative is disputed and the specific advice ranges from dated to reckless. Take the framing, not the instructions.
Recognise it early
The failure and the correction sit side by side deliberately. Read the left column asking whether any of it is already true of you.
Confusing liabilities for assets based on accounting definitions
Working harder for money instead of making money work harder
Focusing on income instead of wealth building
Staying trapped in employee mindset instead of investor thinking
Avoiding financial education due to complexity or fear
The same idea, argued differently
