Rich Dad, Poor Dad

Most parents would probably be extremely grateful to be shown an easy way to instill into their children an appreciation of the value of money and a better understanding of how to make it. According to some critics, they can find the answer by reading a new bestselling book by financial wizard Robert T. Kiyosaki.

Rich Dad, Poor Dad has the title of a novel rather than a how-to treatise, and indeed, much of the book is written in story form. Its central theme is summed up by the subtitle "What the Rich Teach Their Kids about Money That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not.? The author also strongly disparages the tendency of most people to work for money rather than "letting money work for them."

Kiyosaki illustrates his point in the first part of the book by narrating a story based on his childhood experiences. The title refers to the author's own highly educated father, the "poor dad" who always had to work hard to meet the family's needs; and the "rich dad", a neighbor who had dropped out of high school but whose financial acumen turned him into a multimillionaire.

The book has generated its share of negative feedback. For one thing, some reviewers have lashed out against its antieducation slant. All agree, though, that Kiyosaki is sound on the need to shake off a fearful, conservative mindset in order to make it big financially.   

富爸爸，穷爸爸

如果有个简单的方法能帮助家长给孩子灌输重视钱的价值，以及更好地了解挣钱的办法，相信多数家长都会十分感激的。根据评论家的观点，父母可以在一本由财经奇才罗伯特·T·清崎所著的畅销书中找到答案。

《富爸爸，穷爸爸》有点像小说的书名，而不像是一部入门的专著。的确，书的大部分内容以故事的形式写成。书的副标题——《富人教给孩子有关金钱的观念和穷人与中产阶级所教的相左》，归纳了该书的主题。作者也强烈蔑视大多数人为钱工作而不是“让钱为人工作”的倾向。

清崎在书的第一部分根据自己童年的经历讲述故事来阐述他的观点。书名中的“穷爸爸”是指他受过高等教育的父亲，他为了满足家庭的需求而努力工作； “富爸爸”则是指一位高中就辍学的邻居，但其敏锐的理财眼光却使他成为大富豪。

本书也得到一些负面的反馈。其中一些图书评论家抨击了该书的反教育倾向。不过，大家都认为清崎的主张是合理的，要赚大钱就必须先摆脱恐惧、保守的心态。
