Rich dad's success stories (富爸爸成功的故事)

The Rich Dad series, begun in 1997, is based on Kiyosaki's childhood observations of the lessons passed down by his father, a well-educated wage slave, versus those of his closest friend's father, an eighth-grade dropout and multimillionaire. The difference, he determined, is that the poor and middle class work for money, but the rich let money work for them. The wisdom passed on by the rich dad is a type of financial literacy that is never taught in schools. Kiyosaki also developed a board game, Cashflow 101, which is used in his seminars to generate ideas on how to achieve financial independence. This book, the seventh in the series, contains real-life stories of people who applied the Rich Dad principles to their lives and are moving from the rat race of employment to the role of business owner and investor. In their own words, regular folks show how they went from financial struggle and crisis to taking control of their financial education and future.
作者简介：
Born and raised in Hawaii, Robert Kiyosaki is a fourth-generation Japanese-American. After graduating from college in New York, Robert joined the Marine Corps and served in Vietnam as an officer and helicopter gunship pilot. Following the war, Robert worked for the Xerox Corporation in sales. In 1977, he started a company that brought the first nylon Velcro 'surfer wallets' to market. And in 1985 he founded an international education company that taught business and investing to tens of thousands of students throughout the world.
In 1994, Robert sold his business and retired at the age of 47.
During his short-lived retirement, Robert, in collaboration with co-author Sharon Lechter, his CPA and business partner, wrote the book Rich Dad Poor Dad. Soon after he wrote Rich Dad's CASHFLOW Quadrant, Rich Dad's Guide to Investing, Rich Kid Smart Kid, Retire Young Retire Rich, Rich Dad's Prophecy - all of which earned spots on the bestseller lists of the Wall Street Journal, Business Week, New York Times, E-Trade.com, Amazon.com and others. Prior to becoming a best-selling author, Robert created an educational board game CASHFLOW 101 - to teach individuals the
financial strategies that his Rich Dad spent years teaching him. It was those financial strategies that allowed Robert to retire at the age of 47.
In 2001, the first of the series of Rich Dad's Advisors books was launched. This team of professionals supports Robert's belief that "business and investing are team sports." In Robert's words: "We go to school to learn to work hard for money. I write books and create products that teach people how to have money work hard for them. Then they can enjoy the luxuries of this great world we live in."
Rich Dad's Organization is the collaborative effort of Robert and Kim Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter, who, in 1996, embarked on a journey that would afford them the opportunity to impact the financial literacy of people everywhere and carry the Rich Dad mission to every corner of the world.

From AudioFile
"Rich Dad" Robert Kiyosaki is at it again, bringing a cluster of satisfied and now well-heeled students to the golden microphone of wise money management. Firsthand accounts of lives changed for the better thanks to the Rich Dad series, interlaced with professionally read segments of Rich Dad's recommended methods, make an easy-to-absorb packet of pecuniary perspicacity. Recording quality is average, and the publishers could have easily given the packaging a more opulent feel--the thin cardboard sleeves and low-tech design speak more of mediocrity than success--yet few cannot glean some gem of knowledge from this audiobook despite its humble appearance.
