Rich Dad Poor Dad: 20th Anniversary Edition

Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki is the best-selling personal finance book of all time, which is quite an achievement since it came out in 1997. The audiobook version of the 20th anniversary edition of this book was just released, and it’s worth picking up. While his subsequent books pale in comparison to this one, Rich Dad Poor Dad is still an excellent read with useful lessons. Even better, the book is updated (for 2017, at least) so you’re getting Robert’s thoughts on what’s happened with money, investing, and the global economy over the past 20 years. These updates are interesting because they demonstrate to the reader whether or not Rich Dad’s lessons hold water. The narrator of this book does a fine job and is pleasant to listen to throughout. If you’ve never read Rich Dad Poor Dad, I recommend you do so and this is the version to get.
