Rich Dad Poor Dad is a book written by Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter. It evokes the concept of financial freedom through investing, real estate, business ownership, and the use of financial protection tactics; it is written in an anecdotal way, aimed at creating public interest in finance. Kiyosaki and Lechter advise that owning a system or form of production is better than being a salaried employee. This is a recurring theme in the chapters of the book. The book is based on the financial education Kiyosaki received from his "Rich Dad" in Hawaii, although the degree of fiction of these anecdotes is up for debate. Because of the heavy use of allegories, some readers believe that Kiyosaki deliberately created "Rich Dad" out of him. The book highlights the different attitudes towards money, work and life of these two and how they influenced the lives of both.
