Features: Today, wealth is a choice. Because of your choices, you can have more material possessions, comfort, joy, and freedom, and become the person you want to be. Because of your choices, you can live a more challenging or confusing life, or you can progress with the times in your memories. Today's money is more diverse and full of both reality and illusion. The "Rich Dad" series, a seemingly ordinary book on wealth, stirred up a huge wave at the beginning of the 21st century. The purple global storm it created touched upon the essence of wealth, the life and expression of wealth, the humanistic aspects of wealth, and the creation and destruction of wealth.

What is an asset? What is a liability? Is a house bought with personal loans an asset? How can personal financial health be evaluated? What kind of cash flow should be maintained to ensure continuous improvement in personal financial health? How can financial freedom be achieved? Through the stories of his two mentors—his poor father, a university professor, and his rich father, the father of a financially savvy friend—Robert T. Kiyosaki contrasts their vastly different life philosophies, financial values, and investment concepts, as well as their distinct lifestyles and financial outcomes. He challenges the conventional wealth rule that "high income equals financial freedom." The book teaches readers to distinguish between assets and liabilities, to face changes in personal wealth with composure, not to toil for money, but to make money work for you, ultimately achieving the highest realm of financial freedom.
