Rich Dad Poor Dad

The best-selling financial education book in the world has a useful premise and a debatable execution. The distinction between assets and liabilities, and the idea that working for money is not the same as making money work for you, are valid starting points. The problem is that it mixes sensible advice with vague or inapplicable suggestions for most readers, and the author built his theories on unverifiable examples from his own life. More useful as provocation than as a guide.
