After reading his fourth book, Retire Young, Retire Rich, however, I finally "got" one of the concepts presented in that first book. It has taken me this long, and this much internal processing to change my thinking and to appreciate some of the advise and ideas presented so casually in Rich Dad, Poor Dad.

Kiyosaki himself comments how his books aren't the best written items on the shelf. Be that as it may, they are a wealth of knowledge if you are willing to listen.

As I read and work my way through each book, I will put up a page dedicated to that book and how it has affected me.

I say "work my way through," but that doesn't mean that they are that difficult to read. It's the understanding that takes work, at least for me.

I am a very hard core E/S, and a lot of the concepts send my head spinning. I have to stop and think about them, analyze my reactions (good and bad), incorporate these new ideas into my world, which often times means expanding my reality to places it has not been before, and that is not easy. I refer to all of the above as "internal processing", and I do it more for some books than others.

The point of putting up Web pages about them (and me) is to help clarify things for myself, and to maybe help someone else see what I see in these books, or at least let them know they are not alone in their own internal processing.
