Summary: If you enjoyed the first, then purchase...
Review: I enjoyed the first Rich Dad, Poor Dad book. Although it would be nice to have more specifics, I found the ideas contained in Kiyosaki's philosophy to be helpful. If you enjoyed the first book, then you will want to purchase this book. But if the first book did nothing for you, then stay away. I found the most helpful idea in the book to be the idea that to become rich, you must first BE rich. You must first live--or be--a rich person (not a person with an expensive house, expensive car, and expensive lifestyle). To do that is is to do--to do the things that rich people do. To do like the rich is only a show, it is only on the surface. You must first be rich in a Zen like way. You must not be afaird and let your emotions and the emotions and ignorance of others guide your financial decisions. Be rich, be unemotional about money, be sure of your decisions.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Interesting Points, but long repetitive
Review: I really found the ideas behind the cashflow quadrant interesting. However, I think it could have been done in half the pages or less. The book spent a lot of time re-explaining the same ideas that were in Rich Dad, Poor Dad (build assets and lower liabilities) over and over again. After about 70 pages of it, I got tired and started to skim the rest of the book. I felt really bad about that because I occasionally found some really interesting points interlaced between the repetitive stuff. I really enjoyed "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and was looking for some hard lined advice about how to begin my quest for financial independance. Instead, the book was still largely a rehash of the same info. I'm going to return it... Unfortunate... :( It's worth noting, however, that Kiyosaki does mention several other books to read about becoming financially independant. I think I will check those out...

Summary: Double thumbs up!
Review: It serves as an eye opener to those who are still caught in the rat race yet struggling to get out , to wake up and start to discover within themselves their core values, personal beliefs and future dreams. Robert is indeed a guru in this field!Well done, Robert! Keep it up!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cash flow assets will make you rich.
Review: Robert Kiyosaki is a master teacher on how do get rich. This book changes your mindset so that you know how to buy "assets" and minimize "liabilities". Robert explains in detail what cashflowing assets are. I recommend all of his books for your library so that you will escape the rat race.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not exactly the first
Review: Cashflow Quadrant has many great concepts and has helped me decide which quadrant I want to generate my income from. The problem is that the book is poorly written and at times repetative. At times I found myself looking back at the beginning of the chapter to see what that chapter was supposed to be about. I also found ideas/concepts repeated in different sections of the book.

Not as good as Rich Dad,Poor Dad yet I still recommend the book for its useful content.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Misses the mark
Review: If you want to become rich, this is not the book for you. Any of the Motley Fool books ("You have More than You Think" is the one I bought, but you can get most of the good stuff for free at the Motley Fool site) and "The Millionaire Next Door" are far better choices. Mr. Kiyosaki claims to be "retired" in his mid-40s, but he still seems to be trying awfuly hard to make money but peddling this simplistic, repetitive book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent and simplistic....read "Rich Dad Poor Dad" first.
Review: This book expands the philosophies and techniques Robert Kiyosaki learned from his "Rich Dad" and applies seven steps toward the end of the book on how to obtain the goal of financial wealth. Though you may not want to start out homeless to work you way to millions (Don't quit your day job just yet) as Mr. and Mrs. Kiyosaki did, Mr. Kiyosaki explains in a fascinating manner how risky being an employee in a safe secure job can be and the benefits of owning your own business and the progression of becoming an investor.

For those who are looking for the "Get Rich Quick" formula, this book along with the predecessor "Rich Dad Poor Dad" are not the books for you. Go to Las Vegas or play Lotto instead.

This book forces you to look at your current situation and makes you think on what steps are needed to obtain your future financial goals. Hence the "Cashflow Quadrant." If you love where you are financially, then this book may be a waste of time. If you feel a need for a change then I highly recommend this book. However please read "Rich Dad" first.

Summary: Rich Kiyosaki Poor [...]
Review: This book is a rehash of "Rich Dad Poor Dad." Nothing new here folks. Save your money. Robert Kiyosaki just found a new way of explaining what was in Rich and Poor Dad by using his new diagram. Even though if you haven't read his previous book, it's still not worth your money. Much like "Rich Dad Poor Dad" he makes a few points and inflates it by repeating it over and over. He just keeps hammering and hammering it like the reader don't understand what's he trying to say. The concepts in the book can easily be explained and understood in a one page article. The left side of the quadrant is where the poor and middle class are at and the right side is where the rich is at. Through out the entire book he's telling the reader to move from the left to the right. He tells the reader what to invest in to get to the right side, but he doesn't mention how to invest. It just so happens he wrote a book on HOW to invest, "Rich Dad's Guide to Investing." Hmmmm Makes you kind of think doesn't it? I doubt that book will teach you anything new though.

I'm begining to think, by his writing and the stories, that there was never a rich dad or maybe there was but he fabricated most of the story up. I'm thinking that after he read "The Millionare Next Door," which he admits to reading, he ripped the idea behind the book. Because in Millionare Next Door it spoked about how rich and poor parents teach their kids about money. Just a theory.

Nothing Solid here. He's right about one thing, school probably don't teach people how to be rich. However, school does teach people how to write, which Robert K. definitely lacks.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not worth it.
Review: ... It quite obvious that the rich put money in investments that make them rich, whereas the poor don't. Even a financially bankrupt person can tell you that. It's HOW we invest that makes us money, which this sneeky [person] at no point acutally says how to do it. The book is definitely strectched out. Most of the book are just fillers. Literally, he just keep repeating, "rich buy assets poor folks liabilities." Just because this guy made money doesn't mean he knows how OR willing to teach the process of making money. It's quite obvious he out to get peoples money. He has written about 7 books within a short period of time. What authors on personal finance has ever written that much book within a short period? Writting that much books within a short time span means that he didn't care about the qualities of the books. You know he's trying to take advantage of the hype and fad before it dies out. He has a board game out for $... and soon to be released or already released board game for $... He even has a infomercial. Please do yourselves a favor don't buy this book and save your money.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Throw out the misconceptions and think for yourself.
Review: Naturally, someone who has bought into the whole home "ownership" myth would have a lot vested in boo-hooing this book (or CD in my case). It takes a strong ego to realize that THE BANK owns most of your homes. THE BANK owns many of your cars. These things draw money AWAY from you and are, by definition, liabilities. Not until you sell them, (and only when you sell them) and produce a positive cash balance are they "assets."

Simple concept; money comes in = asset, money goes out = liability.

This CD explains, in simple terms, how the banking system and the government's tax scheme owns you...unless you change the way you think. There are no "get rich quick" ideas contained on the CDs and the ideas are not for the weak of heart or stubborn minded. That's o.k. though. As long as there are plenty of people to ignore this "cashflow quadrant" concept, there will continue to be opportunities for those few who adopt this method.

I have begun adopting this approach to our businesses (JLilly.com) and our wealth has started growing.
