Robert Kiyosaki made his name with "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" which set out to provide some lessons in developing wealth and building a stroner relationship with money. He did this by providing a metaphorical story comparing his friend's rich dad with his own poor dad and commenting on the need to build assets hat generate passive income rather than relying on a salary or state hand outs. "Rich Dad, Poor Dad 2. The Cashflow Quadrant" builds upon the original book and answers some of its critics by providing more detail and how to be a "Rich Dad". The Cashflow Quadrant of the title is a mechanism for readers to identify where they are now, see where they could get to and guide them to their new destination.
Not everybody likes the story based approach that Kiyosaki takes. There are also criticisms that the advice is not as good as it could be. However the book is easier to understand than some of the financial books I have read. I like the fact that the book differentiates between the self-employed and business owners - businesses should generate income when the owners aren't there.
So if you would like to get a copy of the book yourself then email with "Rich Dad" in the subject line and tell us who you are and what you do - you'll be entered in a prize draw to win a copy of the book on March 1st (well probably the 2nd is more likely)..
