"Rich Dad" Robert Kiyosaki is at it again, bringing a cluster of satisfied and now well-heeled students to the golden microphone of wise money management. Firsthand accounts of lives changed for the better thanks to the Rich Dad series, interlaced with professionally read segments of Rich Dad's recommended methods, make an easy-to-absorb packet of pecuniary perspicacity. Recording quality is average, and the publishers could have easily given the packaging a more opulent feel--the thin cardboard sleeves and low-tech design speak more of mediocrity than success--yet few cannot glean some gem of knowledge from this audiobook despite its humble appearance.

From Booklist
The Rich Dad series, begun in 1997, is based on Kiyosaki's childhood observations of the lessons passed down by his father, a well-educated wage slave, versus those of his closest friend's father, an eighth-grade dropout and multimillionaire. The difference, he determined, is that the poor and middle class work for money, but the rich let money work for them. The wisdom passed on by the rich dad is a type of financial literacy that is never taught in schools. Kiyosaki also developed a board game, Cashflow 101, which is used in his seminars to generate ideas on how to achieve financial independence. This book, the seventh in the series, contains real-life stories of people who applied the Rich Dad principles to their lives and are moving from the rat race of employment to the role of business owner and investor. In their own words, regular folks show how they went from financial struggle and crisis to taking control of their financial education and future. David Siegfried

FROM THE CRITICS

Library Journal

Kiyosaki (Rich Dad, Poor Dad) follows up his numerous best-selling guides to investment with these profiles of a diverse cross section of two dozen people who have earned their business success by implementing his powerful "Rich Dad" philosophy. Building on his always sound principle of "elevating the financial well-being of humanity," the author now lets adherents of his financial advice tell their own stories and share with listeners how they put into practice his disciplined approach to money management and made their money work for them. The lively narration from Jake Colman, Kat Cressida, and others spices up this solid information that explains why the "no time to invest" excuse does not apply and why you are never too young or too old to begin work on becoming financially independent. A sure bet for financial planning collections in public libraries. Dale Farris, Groves, TX Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
