Well, it depends what you are after. Do you actually want to get rich, or do you just want to get a warm fuzzy feeling reading about getting rich? Because if the latter then Rich Dad is exactly what you need.
- charlesju 17y agoWhy? What advice does he give that isn't genuine? From what I remember, the book's premise is about using money to make more money and that true wealth is a derivative of investing wisely. Sure, maybe for you this is a no-brainer, but for the average American and perhaps the average hacker this concept can be life-changing.
- jwecker 17y agoThe guy has never made a cent from anything but MLM and this series of books. The "rich dad" is not a real person, though he still markets it as autobiographical. Much of the specific business advice he gives is 1) provably dumb, 2) unethical, 3) sometimes illegal. He's built a whole cottage industry around one basic premise- you get rich if you have lots of residual income that doesn't require you to put in proportional hours. If you need a series of 7 books (or even the first one) to teach you that (though I admit the board game is fun on its own merits)... perhaps your not entrepreneur material?
