I read it....

it's a good motivational tool but a lot of successful entrepreneurs and investors disagree with the concepts. It is an entertaining read tho.

"The Total Money Makeover" by Dave Ramsey is a good read too. Just thought I would share.

That's pretty much what I've heard, but I haven't read it yet. I think the only "inspirational" financial book I've ever read was "The Richest Man in Babylon"

This guy at my company who spams me and a few other people with political junk worships at the altar of Kiosaki.

From what I can tell, the guy "proves" all of his points with one piece of anecdotal evidence after another.
