Rich Dad Poor Dad
Money lessons from two fathers, told as autobiography

He presents financial lessons through parables told as autobiography, with the rich dad described as the author's best friend's father and the poor dad as his own father. The book covers financial literacy, financial independence, building wealth by investing in assets, real estate investing, starting and owning businesses, and increasing financial IQ.
