That's why i read the book. While reading i felt like a moron, stupid, ignorant that spend their life buying pleasure.

But now, after reading it, i feel like a super power charged investor that have invest in learning all that time.

Actualy i feel pretty good about having spent so much on pleasures. LEARNING

From now on, i REALY need to remember from what i learned.

I wish i'd read that years ago. I would be rich for sure.

A book can't make you smart or successful any more than platform shoes can help you reach the moon.

Archies are not book

[Marshal]

it's nice to learn, but are you sure all the steps you read there are common practice of the author?

I think that the important thing to learnin the book is to see the dif. between the active and passive.

And i did realize that i spent to much on passive.

[Trixie]

There's a cool thread on here somewhere about how the guy who wrote that is a total skinflint dickhead fartknocker.

Might cause you to reconsider emulating some asshole who charges audience members money to use the restroom during his seminars.

[Trixie]

But I still want to read the book someday . . .

i read a few of his books. they are very easy reads that dont contain much detail -- just valuable concepts.

the most important concept i learned from those books is that i am a poor person. meaning i think poor.

that was a valuable thing for me to realize.

The only thing i dislike about what i readed it's repetition. He's nailing those princips into your brain.

But i'm pretty sure that this was one of the reason it is a best seller.

Usefull, Those theories are nailed into my mind.

What other books did he wrote? (Robert T. Kiyosaki)

Here is some food for thought, Good ideas are not worth shit if you don't execute those ideas and put in the hard work to make them happen.

So the next step is to find a decent money maker and work your ass off !!

Amen to this.

[DesignWise]

make your money work for you.... damn.. that book is a good read..

[godisdead]

The book is okay. But Kiyosaki is a con man. Do a Google search and you'll find out.

The basic rule is: Save and invest your money wisely.

I preferred "The millionnaire next door". At least that one's based on real research, not fiction.

[evulvmedia]

The best thing to take away from the reading-the-book experience:


Kiyosaki (spelling whatevah!) makes the reader feel good. All warm and fuzzy.

The reader leaves the book feeling strong and enthused. But because there is no meat behind the fluff of the book, the reader goes out and does not succeed.

So the reader thinks that his problem is to be solved by more Kiyosaki. He signs up for a seminar and tries again. Same thing happens. So he buys more Kiyosaki... And on and on...

The Scientologists use the same exact thing.

Real change takes hard work, a strong decision-making ability, and an ability to see the world as it really is. If you CHOOSE to have those things, you will succeed.

Otherwise, you are just the victim of a snake oil salesman.

the only people those books make rich are the authors --

i read a few paragraphs, seems like whole message is that stupid people won't exceed, smart people will.

Amen, brother! But you can't sell snake oil with that message.

[notabook]

1. Don't read books, they are for faggots.
2. Unread what you have read by using a large dose of meth.
3. Make sure you never read a book again by watching Firefly at least 12x straight.

[Doctor Dre]

The only thing this book will bring you is motivation to go toward the next stept... that's about it. The rest is pretty fuckign obvious.

Sort of, but there's quite a bit more to it. It's not necessarily that some are smart and some are stupid, it's just that some people think differently than others.
