Robert T. Kiyosaki's co-wrote this book with a C.P.A. named Sharon L. Lechter. Rich Dad Poor Dad has been a great success with readers, a trend that has bolted it to the distinction of New York Times #1 Best Seller. Other publications have lauded the book as well, such as The Wall Street Journal, which declared that Rich Dad Poor Dad is "A must read for millionaires." Author Kiyosaki states that the book, "teaches people to be millionaires…" USA Today raved that "Rich Dad Poor Dad is a starting point for anyone looking to gain control of their financial future."
Robert Kiyosaki details his plan for your future status as a millionaire by laying out a series of financial lessons. Rich Dad Poor Dad teaches the six lessons against the backdrop of his own childhood, where Kiyosaki's own dad was a "Poor Dad" and his friend's father was his very own "Rich Dad." The Rich Dad taught financial lessons while the Poor Dad follow the paths of the common man. The differences are the keys to Kiyosaki's lessons. Robert Kiyosaki's life experiences serve as charming teaching points and craftily trick the audience into learning them.
The lessons were as follows:
Lesson #1: The rich don't work for money. Rich Dad Poor Dad outlines Kiyosaki's main point that money is created from ideas and the accumulation of assets and not by working a normal job.
Lesson #2: Financial literacy is important. Kiyosaki outlines the strategy of learning the financial lingo and tools. Doing so will ultimately yield dividends in the development of your portfolio.
Lesson #3: Mind your own business. Rich Dad Poor Dad takes time away from the financial planning aspect of money growth to teach audiences that rewards should come as a benefit of succeeding in your plan and not during your growth. Investors should ask how could I afford a reward, then use the assets at hand to be able to afford them.
Lesson #4: Taxes and Corporations. As another lesson, Robert Kiyosaki correctly points out that careful attention to tax law and property law will help you progress toward your future millionaire status.
Lesson #5: The rich invent money. One of Robert Kiyosaki's more poignant lessons of Rich Dad Poor Dad was to teach readers that in order to grow rich one must use money to create more money, rather than working for money with labor.
Lesson #6: Work to learn - Not for money. Kiyosaki's final offering in Rich Dad Poor Dad was a difficult advisement for readers to want to work for learning purposes and not to grow rich. Kiyosaki points out numerous times in the book that continuously learning your environment and the way it works is the key to success.
Overall, Robert Kiyosaki's book Rich Dad Poor Dad is molded charmingly into the landscape of his early childhood when he learned the lessons of being a millionaire. His unique experiences as outlined and taught in Rich Dad Poor Dad are the key to the success of this publication. Nowhere else will you find the first hand knowledge the Robert Kiyosaki teaches to readers in his book.

Robert Kiyosaki's book Rich Dad Poor Dad can be found in any local bookstore, such as Borders or Barnes & Noble.
