RICH DAD, POOR DAD: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not

Its goal is to teach essential financial lessons based on the author's experiences and the contrasting philosophies of his two father figures: his "poor dad" (his biological father) and his "rich dad" (his best friend Mike's father). The book quickly became a bestseller and remains a classic in the personal finance genre, although it has also faced criticism for its simplified approach and lack of specific investment advice. Below is a detailed summary of its main ideas, structure, and key themes.
