Robert Kiyosaki’s outlook on money was shaped by two very different father figures: his own highly educated but financially struggling "poor dad," a government official, and the "rich dad" of his best friend, a high school dropout who became a successful entrepreneur. Kiyosaki initially followed the path of his poor dad—attending college, serving in the military, and fighting in the Vietnam War—but witnessing the financial hardships of one man and the wealth of the other led him to change course. He chose to pursue business, guided by the lessons of his rich dad, and ultimately achieved financial success. Through his own story, Kiyosaki contrasts the two men’s beliefs about money: the poor work for money, while the rich make money work for them. This 20th-anniversary edition includes updates such as a personal letter from the author, reflections on today’s economic climate, and a clearer presentation of the book’s core ideas, making the lessons easier to grasp and remember. With this new approach to learning, readers can better understand the principles that have made *Rich Dad Poor Dad* a lasting classic.
