Rich Dad Poor Dad Fake or Not?
Anyone who listens to the podcasts and or researches the recommended reading for Real Estate Investing, Rich Dad/Poor Dad is at the top. Currently I have been listening to it and I have to say, I wish I had listened to it years ago. I have definitely learned alot from this book and attitude about creating passive income to create the life you want.
However when I brought it up to my father(who loves to read these kinds of books)he went into a tirade on how Robert K is a scam artist, that his story isn't real. That he stole the story and on & on. So I did some investigation and there are some haters out there. But you will always find haters.
And my thoughts and point is....who cares? I think his book offers great information on how to look at things differently. To face your fears and follow your goals and this is how to do it.
I couldn't find much info on whether he really was a scam artist or not. And like I said at the end of the day what matters is what I get out of it.
What are your thoughts?

Selling hope & dream is a huge business. However, when you start a relationship with a lie, that's a big turn off for most people. There are other ways to convey your educational information, but RK chose the lying way. Maybe he didn't know of a different way.
Your father is upset because he probably disagreed with RK's character. Amazingly RK has succeeded in his business. That goes to show you some people just don't care about his character and the way he conducts his business.
Just my 2 cents.
