» Politics Without Principles
» Wealth Without Work
» Commerce Without Morality
» Pleasure Without Conscience
» Education Without Character

Rich Dad Poor Dad

Rich Dad Poor Dad

By Robert Kiyosaki

The rich-dad book series has proved phenomenally successful in the market, much thanks to the wide acceptance of the validity of the financial success principles advanced in this book. Positively provocative, it challenges the long-established path of securing a blue-colar job and working to retirement, a formula that, the author argues, fails to meet today's challenges. If you live and operate in a third-world environment, where retirement and pensions systems are weak and ineffectual and can hardly support meaningful retirement life, this message becomes even more poignant. This is the true gospel of financial independence, preached by one who has successfully lived it. If you desire to take the daring but potentially very rewarding path of entrepreneurial pursuits, this book will provide you the fuel to run on. Practical wisdom. Timely in a world of shrinking job opportunitiesand the market and to position your offer to be the most irresistible, this book is a must-read. Brilliant. Priceless.
