Creative Background

Rich Dad Poor Dad is a bestselling personal finance book written by Robert Kiyosaki. It was first published in 1997 and has since become a popular guide for people looking to improve their financial literacy. The book is based on Kiyosaki's own life experiences and contrasts the financial philosophies of his rich dad (his best friend's father) and his poor dad (his biological father).

The creation of Rich Dad Poor Dad was motivated by Kiyosaki's desire to share the financial lessons he learned from his rich dad, which were starkly different from the conventional wisdom taught by his poor dad. These lessons include the importance of financial education, investing in assets rather than liabilities, and the value of entrepreneurship.

Kiyosaki's rich dad emphasized the need to understand how money works and to make it work for you, rather than working for money. This concept is central to the book's message and has resonated with millions of readers worldwide, making Rich Dad Poor Dad one of the most influential personal finance books of all time.
