Rich Dad Poor Dad is a book by Robert Kiyosaki published in 1997. It is a personal finance book that challenges traditional views on money and wealth and provides a unique perspective on achieving financial freedom. The book draws upon the author's experiences growing up with two fathers, his biological father (the "poor dad"), who had a PhD and a high-paying job but was never able to achieve financial security, and his best friend's father (the "rich dad"), who was a high school dropout but became a successful entrepreneur and investor.

The book argues that the traditional education system and societal beliefs about money and wealth are misguided. The key to financial success is to acquire assets that generate passive income rather than just working for a salary. Through his personal stories and lessons learned from his "rich dad," the author provides practical advice and strategies for building wealth and achieving financial freedom. "Rich Dad Poor Dad" has become a classic in the personal finance genre, inspiring millions to rethink their relationship with money and take control of their financial futures.
