Cards on the table. I have read around 10 of the Rich Dad books. I think the Cashflow Quadrant (book 2) in particular is a must read for all budding entrepreneurs.

However, as my mum would say “actions speak louder then words”. The sheer number of Rich Dad books is clearly all about enriching the publisher. I believe Kiyosaki sold the brand a few years back for a large cash sum.

Overall, I agree with you.

Sounds good Neal! Maybe I should check out the “How To Stop Worrying” book too. Although everytime I think “what’s the worst that could happen”, I never find it really bad anyway. I’ll just go hug the wife

F Samurai,

There have been a books, in my life, that have really made a huge impact. I had to study and re-study. “HOW TO STOP WORRYING AND START LIVING” is an example. I need to own it so I can “OWN” it….if that makes any sense.

Hi,
Let me congratulate for maintaining such a wonderful site: Yesterday when one of our forum moderators referred me your site, I just couldn’t take off eyes from it! I am a financial writer and I have written many quality articles on Debt consolidation, Mortgage, loan modification, Foreclosure.

Also Neal, why would anybody buy multiple personal finance books?

We should be going to the library and rent them, or just gloss through them at Barnes and Nobles. Better yet, just log onto the 300 personal finance sites out there, learn and interact!
