Overview

In Unfair Advantage, Robert Kiyosaki challenges people around the world to stop blindly accepting that they are destined to struggle financially all their lives.

True financial education is the path to creating the life you want for yourself and your family. Robert encourages you to change the one thing that is within your control: yourself.

This book is about the power of financial education and the five unfair advantages that a real financial education offers:

The Unfair Advantage of Knowledge

The Unfair Advantage of Taxes

The Unfair Advantage of Debt

The Unfair Advantage of Risk

The Unfair Advantage of Compensation

Robert's fresh approach to his time-tested messages underscores the steps that move education into the applied knowledge that delivers measurable results.

In true Rich Dad style, Unfair Advantage challenges readers to appreciate two points of view and experience how the power of real financial education is their unfair advantage.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
It's back to the well for Kiyosaki, author of over a dozen books in the Rich Dad series, whose insights into business have made him extremely wealthy. Kiyosaki argues that saving money is "foolish," and in order to understand this, a financial education (to go along with your academic and professional ones) is necessary. In the course of the book, Kiyosaki reveals how much he likes gold, silver, and real estate, but wisely refuses to recommend them to everyone at all times. Besides savers, he also hates mutual funds and those who get into debt buying non-essentials. Using diagrams, bullet points, and subsections, Kiyosaki certainly makes his complex points more approachable, and dances a fine line between provocative prose and self-promotion. Kiyosaki's overall goal to change the way people think and learn about money is an important one. While he wants people to proactively seek a financial education, he also wants to promote his own brand. (Apr.)

Good To Know

On his success, Kiyosaki told us, "I've had all six of my books reach the New York Times bestseller list, which is especially rewarding seeing as I flunked out of high school twice because I couldn't write. It just goes to show you that we learn from our mistakes."

In our interview, Kiyosaki said that his time in Vietnam was "a great experience for me.... I learned that to live in fear of dying was not living. I crashed three times in Vietnam -- but my crews always came back alive."

A major rugby fan, Kiyosaki has played all over the world.

According to Kiyosaki, "the power behind Rich Dad is women -- my business partners Kim Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter."
