The book is about the author who had two fathers, a rich one and a poor one. One was highly educated and intelligent, he
had a Ph.D., and completed four years of undergraduate work in less than 2 years. The other father never finished the 8th grade. Both of them are successful in their careers, working hard all their lives. Both earned substantial incomes. Yet one struggled financially all his life. The other one became one of the richest men in Hawaii. One died leaving tens of millions of dollars to his family, charities, and his church. The other left bills to be paid. Both of them were strong, charismatic and influential. Both men offered me
advice but they did not advice the same things. Both men believe strongly in education but they did not recommend the same course of study. If the author had had only one dad, he would have had to accept or reject his advice. Having two dads advising him offered me the choice of contrasting points of view, one of a rich man and one of a poor man. Instead of simply
accepting or rejecting one the other, he found himself thinking more, comparing, and choosing for himself. The problem was the rich man was not rich yet, and the poor man not yet poor.
As a process, choosing to think for himself turned out to be much more valuable in the long run rather than accepting or rejecting a single point of view.
FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT THIS BOOK AND READ ONLY THE TEASER’S: “THIS BOOK IS NOT ABOUT TWO GAY MEN WHO GOT MARRIED WITH A PRE-NUP THEN ADOPTED A BOY FROM JAPAN.”
The two fathers that the book is referring to are the author’s biological dad, and his best friend’s dad who also shared his thought and advices to Robert Kiyosaki.
Seriously, I had a paradigm shift when I read this book. I recommend this for everyone who wants to start their journey to financial freedom.
