Rich Dad (how the rich think)

It was always a bit of a puzzle to me why guys like Richard Branson and Stelios were richer than me ,yet they didn't seem to be miles smarter then me.

I have always been interested in what makes people tick,so out of curiosity one day I picked a book,called Rich Dad Poor Dad,which basically explains some of the ways ,that the rich think differently from the poor and the middle classes.

The poor and the middle classes will say things like I can't afford that,while a rich person would think How can I afford that?

Robert Kiyosaki the author uses the contrast between his poor dad a highly educated teacher ,who although he was well paid always struggled financially,and his friends dad (rich dad),who was not so well educated but went on to become one of the richest men in Hawiai.

The first two books in the series Rich Dad Poor Dad and The Cash flow Quadrant are basically setting the ground work for following books in the series.

Robert uses personal examples from his own background to illustrate many of the points,one of the themes seems to me to be accepting responsibilty for your own life or as he puts it "mind your own business" basically run your life as a business.

Personaly I have found Retire Young Retire Rich to be one of the most interesting books in the series explaining things like the difference between good debt and bad debt,the need to become financially literate,the need for a plan,and how words are tools for the brain.

Throughout the whole series of books,the chamges both mental and emotional that are needed if you want to be rich,how to avoid being an average investor,among may other things to mention in a blogspot.

Along with every book there is a free audio download that expands on the themes,that you have been reading about.
