"Rich Dad Poor Dad" is a personal finance book by Robert Kiyosaki that contrasts the financial philosophies of two father figures in his life: his biological father, referred to as the Poor Dad, and the father of his best friend, known as the Rich Dad. The book emphasizes the importance of financial education, investing, and understanding assets versus liabilities. Kiyosaki argues that traditional education does not adequately prepare individuals for financial success. Instead, he advocates for learning about money management, entrepreneurship, and building wealth through investments, which he believes can lead to financial independence and security.
