About this listen

Kiyosaki expands on his belief that the school system was created to churn out Es / Employees...those "A Students" who read well, memorize well and test well... and not the creative thinkers, visionaries, and dreamers - entrepreneurs-in-the-making...those "C Students" who grow up to be the innovators and creators of new ideas, businesses, applications, and products.

The audiobook urges parents not to be obsessed with their kids' "letter grades" ("good grades" might only mean they or the student themselves were successful in jamming a square peg into a round hole...) and focus, instead, on concepts, ideas, and helping their child find their true genius, their special gift. The path they can pursue with a love and true passion.

Robert showcases success stories of "C Students" who grew up to be phenomenal successes - and HIRED those "A Students" (attorneys, accountants, and other school-smart specialists) to work in their businesses... while the more average students, "B Students", often find themselves in government-type jobs....

Not surprisingly, Kiyosaki will coin his own definitions of what "A," "B," and "C" stand for as he gives parents and their children bits of wisdom as well as insights and tools for navigating an ever-changing world...an Information Age world where the ability to change and adapt, understand relationships, and anticipate the future will shape their lives.

I would love to give 5/5

I would love to give 5/5. I was just NOT impressed by the idea of Robert's politics ramble (he is entitled to his opinion, but not on a book sold as a money education book). I love the book and the great lessons; but politics turned me off most of the time. Would have been better to just state facts without downing one president and promoting Donald Trump (Drumph) before he was a president. I wonder if Robert can write the same praises for DJT today.

Whenever you put politics in a book like this it's a turn off to people like me. I would have liked to see this book without damning president Obama, you clearly mentioned that it's not his fault for thinking the way he does since that's the education he got. Rambling and damning him for that in almost every chapter made me fast forward some stuff. I love your book. Wish I could delete parts on Audible and have my children listen too.

Interesting point of view

First off, I'd like to say that Robert has an interesting point of view. His theory makes sense and the advice is sound.

However, this book could have easily been a quarter of its length. Most of the book seems to be sales pitches for his games, opinion based observations, judgmental rhetoric and repetition. There is a lot of repeated text in this book.

Although I can see his points, and I have taken away a few good morsels of knowledge from the book, I cannot recommend it. You could probably find most of the base knowledge outlined in this book with a google search - In my opinion.

Facts are wrong from the start

I might end up agreeing with his premise, but I could not get past chapter 3. He incorrectly states that Einstein was a poor student, which is incorrect and easily checked, besides you don't get a doctorate in physics if you are a poor student. That Edison invented the light bulb. While Edison did invent the electric vote recorder, the phonograph and the multiplex telegraph system, the light bulb was invented by William Joseph Hammer, a consulting engineer that worked for Edison. He quotes the bible out of context. By that I mean selecting a single line that seems to prove your point regardless of the context in the story. Like reading the parable of the Good Samaritan but only the line about how Levites avoided the man and saying that point is you should avoid people who have been beaten and robbed.
