Rich Dad Poor Dad

The story is about a person who has two fathers: his biological father is the poor dad, while his bestfriend's dad is the rich dad. Both father's taught the author how to achieve success but with very disperate approaches. It became evident to the author which father approach made more financial sense. Throughout the story, the author compares - their principles, ideas, financial practices, and degree of dynamism and how his real father, the poor and struggling but highly educated man, paled against his rich dad in terms of assets buildingand business acumen.

The author compares his poor dad to those people who are perpetually scampering in th Rat Race, helplessly trapped in a vicious cycle of needing more nut never satisfy their dreams for wealth because of one glaring lack: financial literacy. They spend so much time in school learning about the money, simply because it is never taught in school. His rich dad, by contrast, represents the independently wealthy core of society who deliberately takes advantageof the power or corporations and other personal knowledge of tax and accounting which they manipulate to their advantage.

The story theme reduces to fundamental concepts: a can do attitude and fearless entrepreneurship. The author highlights these two concepts by providing multiple examples for each and focusingon the need for financial literacy, hoe the power of the corporations contribute to making the wealthy even wealthier, minding your own business, overcomingobstaclesby not fosteringlaziness, fear, cynicism, and other negative attitudes, and recognizingthe charcateristicsof humans and how their preconceived notions and upbringing hamper their financial freedom goals.
