Rich Dad Poor Dad is an international bestseller by Robert T. Kiyosaki, in which he talks about his experience as a child growing up with two dads - his real dad and the father of his best friend, his rich dad - and the ways in which both men shaped his approach and thoughts about money and investing.
The book talks about whether you really need to earn a lot to be rich and explains the difference between working for money and having your money work for you.
