Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Talks so much but says nothing at all
Gutted that I wasted my Audible credit on this book, it starts off kind of interesting with $100% true stories of his childhood and then turns into a lot of filler around a repetitive mantra of "Don't work for money, make your money work for you".
The most valuable advice in this audio-book is to weigh your balance-sheet so that your income is higher than your outgoings, if it were that easy, don't you think everyone would be rich? We're not all living in a dream world, selling $20,000 first generation Xerox printers to companies that are currently printing with plates.
He also advises that you do some pretty illegal sounding tax-avoidance by setting up a corporation before starting to brag about making a buck out of peoples home foreclosures pre-2008 with some pretty snakey tactics.
Comes across as a real piece of work 6th generation rich kid that thinks it's easy to make money, you just need to ask daddy for a little kick-starter and invest in all of those zero work, high return assets such as property, but apparently, he didn't even do this stuff himself, looking at other reviews indicates he made his "fortune" with his pyramid-scheme get-rich-quick tutorials.
My advice - spend your credit elsewhere.

Wasted 6 hours of my life listening to this book.
Very disappointed with this book. He sort of tells you what you need to do with out going into any detail about what to do. The book is very repetitive, he also says to take risks, but no detail what to actually do. He tells all these "stories" that don't make any sense.
He is also planting seeds about paying for his 3 day education course on real estate, which I have actually already payed for before listening to this book. I am now having second thought about attending. He makes a sale pitch about buying his board game also. In my opinion this book is not about giving information, it is about getting more money out if you.
I do not recommend this book.

Outdated, Repetitive, Vague ...and Repetitive
If you think you’d like some fictional financial advice given to a 9 year old in the 1950’s, that revolves around flipping foreclosed real-estate prior to the 2008 GFC, you’re an idiot, and you will probably love this book. The first half is a fictional retelling of the author’s childhood. It is boring, heavy with repetitive pseudo psychology regarding finance in the 50’s and the “9 year old” it centres around is a poorly developed character, whose personality and maturity change sentence to sentence. The second half offers almost no specific financial advice, just vague idioms like “make your money make money”, etc. The only hint of advice you get is a sense that the author, having written this book prior to 2008, is a big fan of investing in foreclosed properties (GFC anyone?). The book ends with a chapter that is essentially an advert for the author’s other books - classy.

Dangerous financial advice warning
Solid ideas for weslth creation but some unbelievable and at times risky financial advice could lead the uneducated astray. i.e dont pay your bills let the government pursue you into debt collection while you reinvest your dividends or house deposits. Grain of salt required.

great book but....
The book itself is worth the buy and then some, the only reason I found it hard to finish was one thing that the narrator did. Constantly having to hear him have to "wet his lips" is irritating to the listener, especially when using headphones while listening. It's not normally a big deal unless it's something you have to hear every other sentence.

Outdated and ironic
I had read the paper version of this book in 2011 while attending grad school. Having little to no financial literacy at the time, the concepts were foreign but digestible. I would like to think that I took away some of the author’s broad themes after I completed the book.
Desiring an easy ‘filler’ book between two others, I recently returned to the audiobook version for a catch-up. One of the first things I noticed these six years later was that several of the anecdotes were outdated or misleading. Specifically, the continued referral to Donald Trump’s financial abilities. Now I’m not pretending to know everything there is to know about Trump’s financial status, but I thought he bankrupted his companies?
Which brings me to my last thought of irony. After finishing the audiobook this time around, I read a few articles online informing me that Kiyosaki (his company) has recently declared bankruptcy as well. Additionally, several countries have him and his business under intense scrutiny for fraud and scams. Again, I don’t know all the facts (and you should do your own research to build your own case) but I do find it somewhat worrisome that an author who’s trying to aid in financial intelligence and give us tools to increase our cash flow is himself in hot water financially and morally.
At the end of the day, it’s your time and money; do what you want with them. For me, I won’t be recommending this book again. I believe Kiyosaki’s time has past.

Great Book - Bad Narrator
Would you try another book from Robert T. Kiyosaki and/or Tim Wheeler?
Robert - Yes
Tim - No
How could the performance have been better?
The narrator was constantly swallowing and making disgusting noises when he wasn't talking. The noises are loud and extremely unpleasant, especially when listening on earphones.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
The content was good.

READER NEEDS MORE TRAINING!!!
Would you listen to Rich Dad Poor Dad again? Why?
The book is very good!. The reader, Tim Wheeler, has not received proper breathing instruction to narrate a book. Some people don't breath while they speak. This is not a healthy habit. It is distracting to listen to a book where the reader holds his breath and gasps between pauses. It actully interrupts my breathing while listening to him.!!!

This book will re shape your finance mind
This book will reshape how you think about money. It will truly show you what you have been doing wrong since you were a kid, what you were not taught and should have been taught when you were growing up. I wish I had some of the advice this book offers a few years back when I was younger it would have made a world of difference by now. It's never too late to learn though. Read this and act. Don't let the common emotions of the (chicken litttles) in this world steer you away from becoming a business owner or an investor. It's your freedom on the line and no one else's.
Thank you Robert God bless

Wow. This book is one big bad advice
The only good advice here is that you should work on your financial education. Which is common sense

Anecdotes and intangibles
The author does a great job of writing without actually saying anything. The book is full of anecdotes and intangibles. There isn't much in this book you can actually put into practice. He also advocates for doing some illegal things to get out of paying taxes. Much of the book is supposedly the advice he got at the age of nine. No nine year old would have acted the way he did or have asked the questions he claims to have asked. Seems to me he wrote this book just as a way to make money without giving any real advice. Very disappointed.

Lame Tea Party Manifesto
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
Anti-intellectuals. Tea Party supporters. Anyone who hates government employees. High school drop-outs who hope to exceed the lifestyle of their (former) childhood friends who pursued college degrees.
What do you think your next listen will be?
Something intelligent.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Tim Wheeler?
It is unfortunate that Tim Wheeler is associated with this inane book.
What character would you cut from Rich Dad Poor Dad?
The author Robert Kiyosaki.
Any additional comments?
Wow! It is so hard to write a review for a book this bad. Anti-intellectual, joke, pretentious, self-absorbed, farce, ... what else is there to say? If you are a Tea Party lover who lives in a trailer park; this is your book. If you have high school degree, you will recognize this piece of trash for the lame manifesto that it is.
Here is the essence of the book: "Real Estate rental income = good.... Taxes = bad. Public employees = very bad. Anyone who earns a salary and has a benefit package is a socialist (i.e. police department, fire department, public school and college teachers) are the bane of all good hearted capitalists.
I don't normally write reviews. I don't have the time. I read books, listen to lectures, absorb ideas and move on. But this idiot makes Sarah Palin look like an intellectual. How many times can you repeat the same drivel about the middle class "not knowing the difference between an asset and a liability"? There are at least 50 pages of the same repetitive message.
I have met a ton of self-made millionaires, and very few of them have the pompous and ridiculous attitude that this moron does. The moral of the story is: "The good man/woman avoids taxes and shelters (hides) his/her income at all costs. Anyone who works for the government is the root of all evil. Free the capitalists let them loose and they will heal the world. Amen!"

Focus on your Assets....the end
Would you consider the audio edition of Rich Dad Poor Dad to be better than the print version?
I've not read the print edition.
What other book might you compare Rich Dad Poor Dad to and why?
Other investing/business type books, nothing specifically as it has it's own twist on things.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Tim Wheeler?
Anybody else.
What did you learn from Rich Dad Poor Dad that you would use in your daily life?
Focus on my balance sheet and less on my income statement.
Any additional comments?
This book can be summed up by saying, focus on your balance sheet and overcome obstacles when they're presented.

The dubious virtues of capitalism
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
This book seems to mostly be a hatched job of socialism parading as a fair and balanced viewpoint. The author seems sincere in his belief that a socialist philosophy is just an economic stupidity, and then goes on to extol the apparently endless virtues of what is, at heart, some fairly straightforward capitalist dogma.
While from an individual's point of view, the advice given seems likely to achieve the end goal of making the individual using it richer - at least a little - there seem to be quite a few pretty critical issues entirely overlooked.
The first is ethics. This question isn't even passed over lightly, it's completely absent from the book. The author wants you to think about how to get rich - full stop. He clearly feels enough guilt over his strategies to offer the platitude that poor people are really responsible for their own problems, and if only they'd change how they think about the world, they too could be rich. In so doing, he lays the challenges and problems of the poor and middle classes at their own feet. He explains, at some length, that taxation is bad and implies that people who pay taxes are stupid, and helpfully elucidates that America and the UK were both countries that had no taxes at one point, but fails to mention that the effect of tax was, in part, to make the countries the global powers that they became by allowing them to invest in projects that no individual could manage alone. Not that tax is bad, though, we're assured - just that smart people don't pay it.
Yes, fine. It's possible to evade taxes - rich people do it all the time. That doesn't make it an ethical thing to do - just a selfish and short-sighted one. Even the rich enjoy having public services such as a police force, army and roads. Boasting about not contributing to things we literally all need seems to be the exact thing the author subtly calls the rest of us who do - terminally short sighted and stupid.
Moving on. The second major problem is that the strategies presented would literally fail if more than a tiny minority of people adopted them. In a world full exlusively of investors, ironically no one makes and bread. The behaviours suggested in this book are fundamentally parasitic in nature - you leverage other people's hard work to make yourself rich at their expense. Smart, but very destructive to society as a whole. Still, the book will absolutely help you get rich enough to stop caring if the whole system crumbles.
Third, this is a book of it's time, and will age less and less favourably as time goes on. With radical changes coming more and more rapidly, the approach advocated by this book is going to become less and less relevant. Hard times ahead - except for the people who already have pretty much everything. If that's you, congrats. If not - you're screwed in the long run, even if you take all the advice in the book.
I'm sure the author would tell me that I'm my own worst enemy, though, because in spite of his efforts to be 'neutral' and 'balanced' in how he presents things, his own viewpoint is fundamentally that of a pretty greedy man of slightly better than mediocre intelligence.

Almost.....
This book encapsulates capitalism and for the most part whatever your philosophy, the advice is sound...at least from a 'Western' stance. Kiyosaki is clearly very passionate about the subject matter which adds an air of confidence and authority to his book. Some have criticised that the whole,'rich dad' thing is a fabrication...I would suggest that this is an irrelevance. Any successful entrepreneur will tell you that acting 'as if' is often a given. Kiyosaki can get carried away at times and make what I would say are ridiculous suggestions such as education being for mere fools......and this lets an otherwise excellent book down. At times, Kiyosaki apologises for being unfair...and then continues to be just that and there can be a two-faced element to his arguments as a consequence. Narration is always important with audiobooks and Wheeler's approach is impeccable. I'd encourage Kiyosaki to take some time out to embrace some more Eastern practices as money alone whilst important is ultimately a mere fabrication of mankind. Nevertheless a very enjoyable listen...if at times a tad trite.

Motivational but thin on details.
This is a bit of a mix, really, and there are some issues.
It seems America-centric. A lot of the advice offered is not directly relevant to other countries because the laws are different. For example, in the UK it is not necessary to set up a corporation to claim business expenses offset against tax; you can instead set up as a sole trader or partnership.
It also does seem that Kiyosaki is cherry-picking when it comes to anecdotes offered. This may or may not be the case, but it is the feeling I get. He seems to go off on a rant when talking about an investment that increases in value by 16% year-on-year because he's been told by other people that the investment is "far too risky," but he does not explain the investment.
Nevertheless, some of the advice I do feel is sound. To own businesses (rather than taking time to run them yourself) and to learn to make good investment decisions and make them both seem good ideas from the point of view of the end goal of generating money without working for money. That's obviously the ticket to financial security which is what the book is really about. If you have a regular income and you don't have to "work" 40 hours a week to get it, that's the goal.
The problem for me with this book and many similar books is that it describes what has worked for Kiyosaki. Kiyosaki has a unique set of skills as has every other person. In his case it led to riches; in other people's cases that may not really apply.

Badly read
I haven't finished listening to this book yet and one of the reasons it's taking me a long time to get through is that it's read in a very monotonous tone, which makes the material feel more boring than it needs to.
But I also have problems with the content of the book, since the author spends so much time telling us to accumulate assets instead of liabilities, but doesn't really get down to the nuts and bolts of how to do that, which is frustrating.

vague
too many vagueries and not enough specific plans of action. Whilst the principles are somewhat useful, these are meaningless without specific details on how to execute.

Moderately Motivational
So I finally caved and got this book... somewhat useful for motivational purposes I suppose, though don’t expect any revelations.. I agree with some points and disagree with others. If you truly have no concept of personal cash flow then it’s a good place to start!

I'll be buying assets from here on!
I really enjoyed this book. It teaches you the mentality that drives wealthy people and the core principles that made them rich. I am putting these principles into action.

An enjoyable,outstanding eye opener !!
Would you listen to Rich Dad Poor Dad again? Why?
I will 110% be listening to this audio book again as I feel that there was too much valuable information to take in all at once, next time I will be taking notes and using them to begin educating my own children. I listened to the whole book within 24hrs as I just wanted to know more and since finishing the book I have bought 3 more of Rich Dads audio books.
What does Tim Wheeler bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Tim Wheeler was a great candidate for Rich Dads audio books as he made the listening experience more pleasurable with his tone of voice and delivery of speech. He also has the ability to make you feel as though he is actually sitting beside you and talking to you personally.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me feel a little bit angry at times as I felt like the working class are actually kept in the dark about a lot of the topics spoke about in this audio book. It also aggravated me to think that my children are now also being "Trained" at school to become only suitable for employment. I have since been proactive about changing my children's course of education and also about they're financial way of thinking. A definite must have for any loving, caring parent.
Any additional comments?
For any one serious about opening there mind and changing the way they see things I would highly recommend. A small price to pay for potentially life changing information!!

A very thought provoking insight
This book surprised me on how well it went through the mechanics of what makes someone rich vs someone who is wealthy.
I am from the convential educational system, and over the last 15 years or so I have experienced exactly the symptoms of the new wealthy middle class as depicted in this book - study damn hard, work extra hard and you will succeed. 30 years later only find the mill needs more energy and I am shutting down, very little to show for it, lots of hours spent but 60% of my wealth in others pockets!
This is a must read for all, especially parents in the west.
