Brief insight
At the core of this book is the story of the author’s two “Dads” – his father, a classical public servant and the best friend of his father, “the richest man in Hawaii,” according to Kiyosaki himself. The book is a story about how the life experience of these two, such different people, and influenced the author’s further life. Two principles of upbringing, two different approaches to capital accumulation, two polar views on financial investments. And after much reflection reflected in the book, Kiyosaki chooses the path of the Rich Pope. A story about how to gain financial independence, how not just to become a rich man, but also change the very attitude to life. Money is not evil, money is the tool that determines the surrounding reality.
How much does a person have in his life a classical education? Mathematics, literature, history, physics and chemistry – everyone studied these sciences for many years,
However, the book does not have universal recipes for how to become rich overnight. Councils and recommendations are given in the form of life stories, anecdotes, aphorisms.

The whole book of Robert Kiyosaki is built in the form of small stories from life. There are no clearly derived theories and planned lessons of teaching. The book is simple and accessible tells us about any incidents in the life of Robert, but the author suggests that the conclusions be made by the reader himself. This is precisely the method of Kiyosaki.
The very first lesson from his Rich Pope Robert was at the age of nine. Dreaming of becoming rich, he turned to the rich father for help. But instead of traditional lessons on the school principle “sit down and write down,” Rich Dad sent the boy to work as an assistant to the store. The work of the boy lasted three hours, on Saturdays, instead of lessons in playing baseball, and Rich Dad paid him just 10 cents for every hour. Even by the standards of the fifties it was very little. And what did Robert do? Exactly what thousands of such workers did, went to the boss with a demand to raise their salaries. This was the first lesson. “When you get a push in life, you do two things in response: either quietly suffer, or push someone else’s response – your boss. But it’s not your boss who pushes you, life pushes you, and you have to push in response, pushing with all your might, elbows and knees. If you learn this lesson, and you act, and do not raise your paws up, you will grow up to be a rich and happy person. If you do not, then you will endure the jolts of life, suffering from low wages, boss’s whims, blaming everyone around for their misfortunes. “
