Rich Dad Poor Dad is a good book for beginners.

It introduces a lot of concepts, views and rules that most people have never encountered before. And packages this into a story which makes it easy to understand.

Judging from the comments in this thread nobody have either read the book or knows very little about investing/finance in general but of course they have strong opinions.

Nothing wrong with the book at all, and honestly I dont understand this endless bashing of the author.

Just checked Amazon it has a 4.7 star average with 94,163 ratings for a book that was self published in 1997.

Pretty Good I would say.

A couple of high school classmates sucked into the morass of MLMs were the only ones who ever pimped this book to me unironically.
