Robert Kiyosaki and Kim Kiyosaki offer their life stories which reveal lessons they learned about financial freedom. As a reader, you have the choice to believe them or not. You have the choice to learn from their experiences or not. You have the choice to be entertained or not. You have the choice to accept what they say at face value or not. You can even disregard it all, if you choose.
What appeals to me about the Kiyosakis is that their stories spark curiosity. They motivate people to take action to improve their knowledge about financial matters. We're prompted to ask, "Could they be right that what I learned in school didn't prepare me for the real world?" "If I'm ill-equipped, what steps could I take to get better informed?" Self-directedness isn't often taught in school. When a person discovers a source of information, a person, a mentor that compels them to learn more, this is significant. Real life is supposed to help each of us to realize that we're meant to figure certain things out for ourselves on our own life journey. I say, Kudos to the Kiyosakis!
