Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad is full of holes and cliches. According to John T. Reed, Kiyosaki's books tout a lot of half truths and lies about how he made his fortunes. And they all sound alike! If you read carefully, you will see Kiyosaki's disclaimer below:
“Although based on a true story, certain events in this book have been fictionalized for educational content and impact,” This is located in the fine print on the copyright page of Rich Kid Poor Kid. I agree with Reed's analysis of R. Kiyosaki, how can he tout his stories to be true? He is a liar. This is tantamount to James Frey's book, A Million Little Pieces. Why doesn't Opera call in R. Kiyosaki and accuse him of lying? The concepts in his book are dangerous. This was evident when in a recent 20/20 broadcast special. Several "Entrepreneurs" were given $1,000 and with the help of Kiyosaki were asked to start a busines/invest it, One lost all the money. Another made zero. The third made $243. And they had help from the guru himself, R. Kiyosaki. Hardly impressive results. I can go and on about his inconsistencies and lies, but I don't want to further waste your time on this book. Besides, being a "best selling" author, how else did Kiyosaki really make his money? Nobody knows, and he's not telling.
