Book Summary: Rich Dad’s Guide to Investing by Robert T. Kiyosaki (2024)

Rated 2.0 out of 5

Kindle version is a disaster. Images are not formatted as images so you cannot enlarge them. In other words, you cannot see Robert’s diagrams. It’s a great book, but do not buy the kindle version. Those who rate the Kindle version as good are disregarding Robert’s diagrams, which are critical to getting the most out of the book. Buy physical copy.

Allowed me the opportunity to develop a different mindset. I look forward to to reading and learning more about investments.

I would choose this book for someone who’s hungry for success, otherwise completing this book is challenging where it’s long, dry, with an overload of information.But for someone who’s really hungry, he’ll need someone to stop him from reading. This book is worth a Million Dollars, anyhow you’ll make way more with the tips in it.

Once again I have been given a lot of ammo for my brain to use. Robert is the truth I love the way he writes his books.

Rated 2.0 out of 5

This book is too repetitious and not filled with enough new ideas. If you read his first two books, then you have read 75% of this book. And if that wasn’t bad enough, the material repeats so often you will feel like you read the first two books 10 times over when you complete this book. I love his thoughts and concepts. I don’t have to agree with them. I love that he presents information in a different way for me. But do you have to present it as though you’ve forgotten you told me the same thing every day for the last two years! It was like being in the movie groundhog day with Bill Murray. Skip this book. I’m skeptic on reading more from Rob. I would need a major discount or a free book to check out his other books. I gained minimum value from this book when compared to the first two.

More difficult to read than rich dad poor dad. Get more familiar with that title and his 4 quadrant principle before diving into this title

This book changed my mindset about life. There are many great points on investing with deeper thought effect all areas of your life. If I can only now come up with a great idea to start my own business to get me out of the rat race that I have been trained for 37 years to do, may I find the true path in the B quadrant. I never dreamed the things I have been taught just like poor dad taught his son would lock me into this road. My mind is open and the challenge is before me. Thank you Robert for such a great educational inspirational book. I look forward to teaching my five year old your cash flow game as she gets older.

I’ve listened to its audiobook and it has been incredibly helpful in giving me insight into what makes the rich successful. It is full of practical advice on building wealth through investing, and the writing style is easy to understand. I’m already seeing the benefits of the suggestions in this book and am grateful for the knowledge it has imparted. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about how to make their money work for them.

I got a lot of great insight ion the fundamentals of investing but most chapters were repetitive and the constant sales pitch of products and services was another reason for not giving this a 5

Everyone should read this book. This book should be required reading for all students before they graduate from high school.

While reading, you find yourself waiting for the writer to get to his point already, but he never does. There is absolutly no usable information in there, just “yes you can do it !”. The writer repeats himself over and over again without getting to a meaningful information.

Second in a row, keeps me excited for the next one, discovering greater challenges, highly recommended if you seek insight and desire to educate and re-educate yourself,.

Learned a lot from his three books, the main thing I will keep in mind is that being rich or poor is just a mentality. This book is definitely a way to switch towards a rich and abundant mentality.

It really opened my eyes to a new world of possibilities. I wish there was more practical examples especially about financial planning.

Reading this book got me on a whole new way of thinking on my finances, future, family and education of my kids. It encouraged me to do further research so much so that I can’t remember what my perspective on life was before. Thank you Robert. We never met but you have changed my life forever

Now that you know you won’t become financially free being an employee now you are thought what the best investment you can make is. Very important concepts are introduced such as the B-I triangle and the three E. Robert teaches helps you change your point of view of what is the purpose of a job. If you want to increase your income potential this is a must read.

I have not found anything new in this book. It was just waste of my time and money. I do not recommend this book.

Anything written by Kiyosaki is worth reading if you are at all concerned about your financial future. It is a great read especially if you are a business owner.I would recommend reading Rich Dad Poor Dad and Cash flow quadrants BEFORE reading this.

He brought out that they do not teach you in school on how to start a company. You learn that on the street

Rated 5.0 out of 5

Like his first two books, there are countless valuable lessons to take away here. Based on the title, you (as i did) probably expect this book to be heavy on specifics in terms of types of investments to focus on. This is not entirely incorrect, however what he details and the mindset he lays out will challenge your preconceived notions of the world of business and investing. Really, it’s more a business book than an investing book, which is one of his main points. Overall great sequel to Cashflow Quadrant and in a lot of ways is a more in-depth look into it. I would highly recommend Cashflow Quadrant before reading this.

Rated 5.0 out of 5

Very useful information especially to a person just starting out in the investing world. If you have a taste for learning new things this book will definitely provide plenty of opportunity to do so.

This book really helped me to realise what I wanted my future to look like and how my investment strategy was key to achieving my goals. I’ve already begun creating portfolio income and I am in the process of creating passive income for my future.

The first book should be required reading for all high school students. Those that comprehend it should read the second and this the third book. They will have abundant lives. Very good that there are some concrete steps and advice. I will be taking my first steps on this road.

You’ve been walking the halls of your mind with a concreate block and chain latched onto to your leg. You’re searching for that one great thing that will help you “figure it all out” or bring you one step closer to a vison that seems so distant. With this book Kiyosaki reaches out to you and cuts that chain while presenting you with a key. This key opens a door that only you will notice when you see it, and by cutting the chains, you are now able to run through these halls and find the door thats been hidding your entrepreneurial spirit.

This book reads easily. It is even fun, same holds for the audiobook.New content us scarce, however, if you read “Rich Dad, poor Dad”.Motivation-wise it is a good book.

I wish people would understand his books are about you realizing there’s a lot to learn and must be willing to take the extra steps to learn what you can and find the professional help for the rest.I’ve seen the negative reviews, but this book op bed my eyes to a world I’ve been avoiding.

Everyone needs this book in their life. I bought some for friends too. They all loved it and feel wiser.

The illustrations in this book are important as they illustrate the financial concepts discussed. Yet the illustrations are displayed so small on the screen that they are unviewable. Makes the purchase of the Kindle Edition unreadable. Don’t waste your money. I tried to give it a zero star rating, but Amazon wouldn’t let me post it unless I gave it at least a 1-star rating.

Loved the flow of words that spoke to me at the most basic level. Forced me to think about my own place in the world and how to reshape how I see limitless potential in myself. Loved it.

Rated 3.0 out of 5

I like this book because it gives you the ideas you need to be a business man. Example:learn how to read financial statements. One thing I don’t like about this book. is that it tells you learn to read financial statements but doesn’t tell you how? He just says get financial help from a professional. He doesn’t go into detail. 3rd book I read and I feel like I need to read more and more I guess that’s how he makes his money.

Rated 4.0 out of 5

Lessons from the first 2 books were repeated over and over but only because it was for a new reader’s benefit. However it is a great guide to point you in the right direction of what you need to study to further enrich your financial education.

Rated 5.0 out of 5

I would recommend this book to anyone today that would like to understand how to invest money to get ahead and leave a legacy.

Rated 1.0 out of 5

As many above have said, he tells a bunch of stories. I get that he wants to encourage a investor mindset, but he never actually tells you HOW to do anything, just story after story of conversations that have no real advice. This does not help guide me in how to be a good investor.

Rated 3.0 out of 5

After learning more about money I found Mr. Kiyosaki isn’t the best teacher for investing. I appreciate his introducing me to the subject but prefer Dave Ramsey’s plan. After seeing this guy on a late night info-mercial for buying silver I lost respect for him and can not use his advice.

Rated 2.0 out of 5

The book started out interesting enough but really fell flat in the 2nd half. You could pretty much summarize the 2nd half by saying you need to start you’re own business. That’s about it. Not much content in this book. I’ve read just about every other Rich Dad book including the ones by other authors and this one was by far the least fulfilling. I was really expecting quite a it more.

Rated 5.0 out of 5

Having my own uncle as a rich person, what he said and taught in his book do actually make sense to me.I can relate his stories with my rich uncle and start to understand how he builds his wealth.Other than informative, this book does actually boost your confidence and motivates you to think outside the box and to not trapped into the rat-race. Worth to read but not for everyone since some people think that he discourages people from working as an employee.

Rated 3.0 out of 5

I read this immediately after Rich Dad, Poor Dad. The conversational format of the book was tiring after 2 books and I found myself skimming for the points. I’m not going to say it’s bad, but the format can be tiring.

Robert is an amazing writer. His rich dad is a legendary investor who’s princples are powerful and transformational. Please read this book if you want to become a better investor.

This book is both inspiring and and informative. My worldview has completely changed it’s as though the scales have fallen from my eyes! I have completely different ambitions and goals after reading this book. If you enjoyed the first rich Dad Poor Dad book you will definitely enjoy this one too.

I call this book a light because it helps people understand that they live in an age, Information Age, where they don’t need a lot of money to get out of poverty, they don’t need expensive education that leads to high student loan, or rich parents. All they need is a business idea, a mindset, motivation, and creativity. I highly recommend it to everyone on this planet because people in any country or from any culture or religion can benefit from it.

I was no sure I could become a successful investor until I read this book…now I think different and feel more confortable about learning and ranking action… thanks again Robert and Kim

Rated 2.0 out of 5

This book would’ve been much better as an article. You really get the impression that it was limited content stretched out to fill enough pages to sell a book and promote a board game. I realize repetition is a teaching tool, but the repetition of some pages seemed – again – to be more about filling pages to sell as a book. Not enough good content to recommend reading.

As usual, Kiyosaki knows to translate wisdom in a very simple way. It’s a googd guide to know how to invest.

Rated 3.0 out of 5

While I found the book quite helpful, I just couldn’t help but feel deja vu reading this book. He states things over and over and over. I’m not sure if this was to make it stick in your brain, or if he was just trying to fill the pages. I would rather the book be shorter than to read the same thing over and over. I take notes when reading a book. Repetitiveness is quite annoying!Besides from that, I felt like the book was more of a guide to investing, rather than physically telling you what to do. He points the path, and good luck to you! I really did learn a lot from the book, but I expected something different.

Rated 3.0 out of 5

Intricate guide to investing, and has good classification to the different types of investors. However, it does has some repetition in the amount of times it references the first few chapters. A bit of a filler if you ask me. The questions at the end of each chapter he claims will transform your thinking really is just a series of simple questions that doesn’t really provoke your thoughts.

Rated 3.0 out of 5

Quite informative book, written 20 years ago it still remains helpful. I don’t agree with the debt concept, but I recommend this book to every new investor, it will really help you see investing in an other way, more practical way.

I liked a very simple narration style and the fact that the book focuses on the big picture around investing, not just on the technical aspects. However, as a beginner in investments, I need to read more books on investing that focus on the technical side of investments.
