[2] For many years he avoided questions about the identity of the "rich dad," raising suspicions that no such person had existed.

The poor dad held a high position in education and emphasized the importance of academic success, job security, and living within one's means.

The rich dad, a successful entrepreneur, believed in building assets, investing wisely, and acquiring financial knowledge.

Throughout the book, Kiyosaki shares anecdotes and conversations that he had with the rich dad, who guided him on various aspects of money, wealth creation, and financial independence.

He learns valuable lessons about the difference between assets and liabilities, the power of financial education, and the importance of taking calculated risks.

Kiyosaki emphasizes the significance of acquiring assets that generate income, such as real estate and businesses, as opposed to liabilities that drain money, such as excessive consumer debt and unnecessary expenses.

[13] In his audio-book Choose to be Rich, Kiyosaki said that every publisher turned him down, and Barnes & Noble refused to stock the book initially.
