A provocative challenge to conventional financial wisdom that urges readers to rethink everything they know about money.

What it feels like

Reading this book feels like sitting down with a blunt, contrarian mentor who is determined to dismantle everything you were taught about money. The pace is brisk and persuasive, driven by a provocative tone that challenges the very foundations of traditional financial advice, from the value of saving to the purpose of schooling. It cultivates a disruptive yet empowering mood, replacing the comfort of conventional wisdom with urgent, alternative strategies for wealth building. The prose is direct and unapologetic, designed to shake readers out of complacency. It will deeply satisfy those who feel disillusioned by standard financial paths and are hungry for a radical shift in how they approach investments, debt, and their own financial security.

About the book

Kiyosaki believes that our educational system--and poor job it does on financial education--is what causes the gap between the rich and everyone else. In this book, he explains why savers are losers, debt and taxes make the rich richer, and why going to school, working hard, getting out of debt, and investing for the long term in the stock market is the worst financial advice for most people. Kiyosaki and Wheelwright share ideas on how to survive--and thrive--into the future.
