I fail to understand all the praise for this book. All of his books make just one basic point "You Should Let Your Money Work for You by investing wisely, do not just rely on your salary." Do you need to read 200 page books to understand this point? There is no practical actionable advice for the novice investor, just often repeated principles reiterated many times using his rich dad. Another Thing That is irritating is the factthat he keeps repeating one and the same thing like going to school is not very useful, etc. You wil learn a lot more about investing from other more focused books and sites like Motley Fool, Morningstar etc. Do not waste your money on this book.
