Features: "Rich Dad" series, a set of ordinary wealth books that stirred a huge uproar at the beginning of the 21st century. The purple global storm affected the essence of wealth, the life and expression of wealth, the humanistic aspect of wealth, and the creation and destruction of wealth. The help and confusion wealth brings to us, from West to East and from East to West. As a result, it transformed from a bestseller into a longseller. What is an asset? What is a liability? Is a house bought with personal loans an asset? How to evaluate personal financial status? What kind of cash flow should be maintained to ensure continuous improvement of personal financial status? How to achieve financial freedom? Robert T. Kiyosaki overturns the wealth rule of "high salary = financial freedom" by telling the life stories of his two mentors—the poor dad, his father who was a university professor, and the rich dad, the father of his friend who was good at investing and managing finances. Their completely different life philosophies, financial values, and investment concepts, as well as their different lifestyles and financial outcomes in the end, challenge the conventional wisdom. The book teaches readers to distinguish between assets and liabilities, to face the changes in personal wealth with composure, not to work hard for money, but to let money work for us, and ultimately achieve the highest realm of financial freedom. This is a book that fundamentally transforms the traditional values, financial views, and life philosophies of Chinese people. This is the very reason why the book created a sales miracle in mainland China and will continue to have vitality and perform sales miracles for a long time to come.
