Like anything we read, we can take the good and leave out the bad. I have learned a lot from Kyosaki and made a lot of money from the ideas I learned from him. I don't buy gold just because he says to buy gold. I take the lessons I learn, apply them to my style and find what works for me. I have seven rental houses and one commercial property that have made me a lot of money (yes, debt included). You don't have to gamble on bitcoin or meme stocks to get rich (which could easily end up with you holding an empty bag). Robert taught me that there is a difference between good debt and bad debt, the difference between assets and liabilities (your house is a liability, not an asset), invest instead of save, and the importance of financial education. To not read his book is a mistake, even if you don't like him personally. Of course it shouldn't be your only source, but it is a great one.
