"Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert T. Kiyosaki is a personal finance book that contrasts the financial philosophies of two father figures: Kiyosaki's biological father ("poor dad") and the father of his best friend ("rich dad"). The book emphasizes the importance of financial literacy, building assets, and making your money work for you, rather than solely relying on a traditional job for income. It encourages readers to challenge conventional wisdom about money and wealth, and to develop a mindset focused on financial independence.
