Kiyosaki expands on his belief that the school system was created to churn out 'Es' / Employees... those "A Students" who read well, memorize well and test well... and not the creative thinkers, visionaries and dreamers –entrepreneurs-in-the-making... those "C Students who grow up to be the innovators and creators of new ideas, businesses, applications and products.The book urges parents not to be obsessed with their kids' "letter grades" ("good grades" might only mean they or the student themselves were successful in jamming a square peg into a round hole...) and focus, instead, on concepts, ideas, and helping their child find their true genius, their special gift. The path they can pursue with a love and true passion.Robert showcases success stories of "C Students" who grew up to be phenomenal successes – and HIRED those "A Students"(attorneys, accountants, and other school-smart specialists) to work in their businesses... while the more average students, "B Students," often find themselves in government-type jobs...Not surprisingly, Kiyosaki will coin his own definitions of what "A," "B," and "C" stand for as he gives parents and their children bits of wisdom as well as insights and tools for navigating an ever-changing world... an Information Age world where the ability to change and adapt, understand relationships, and anticipate the future will shape their lives.

I'm one of the "A" students who never could succeed in any of the several businesses I've started or run, while kids I thought were none too bright in high school and college have been far more successful financially. I've helped a number of them become millionaires in their businesses while I managed their finance and accounting matters and they handled the marketing and sales far better than I ever could. Another winner for Rober Kiyosaki.

With having the 1st of 4 kids heading to college I have been immersing myself into the knowledge I need as a parent to help guide them to be successful in whatever that might be. As a parent it is EXTREMLY hard to get your child to think differently about not being an employee. The whole school system is working hard to make sure that they do become employees. My son wants to become a history teacher, and with the current situation and uncertainty about teachers, it really worries me. I then remember in Roberts teachings that your job is your income and investing is your wealth. I have had great success in sharing that thought process with my son. He likes nice things and has a great work ethic so thanks to ALL of Roberts great teachings I see a great future for him.I am so glad that you wrote this book so my wife can be on board with me as shes reading this now. My wife feels there's security in a job. Shes always been an employee, and thinks thats the right thing to do. It's taken alot of time and effort even through our many successes of owning businesses and rental real estate. She does finally see the rewards from the effort. Also she has had alot of friends whom can't find work even after getting college degrees. Alot of her co-workers have $10's of thousands of college debt making only $12-14 an hour, because thats all they can get. I am so glad that you help guide and educate us that there is another way. Financial education is so important for the world right now with everything thats going on. Please keep the books coming as I am one of your biggest fans...

By far, Robert Kiyosaki's worst book By Gabriel Torres The short version:Worst Robert Kiyosaki book to date; from 400 pages, there are probably 10 pages with new material. He quotes a lot of books, and you will be better off reading the original books. Really badly edited and badly written (his books got worst in this aspect after his legal battle with Sharon Lechter and now that they are self-published); for a guy who brags that he is a millionaire, it would cost him only a few thousand dollars to hire a copy editor and get a better written book (Sharon, we miss you!). What is new on this book is that Kiyosaki spends a great deal of time expressing his personal views on politics, which is completely unnecessary and makes no sense to international readers and will probably alienate all readers that are not over-50-years-old Republicans and/or don't watch Fox News. The author continues to write stories that are not true and publishes a lot of factual errors. The title is excellent, but the delivery doesn't work. If you like the title, you should read Kiyosaki's first book, "If You Want to Be Rich & Happy Don't Go to School," which is far better written and deeper (co-written by Hal Zina Bennett, PhD, which makes a huge difference). Curiously enough, Kiyosaki doesn't like to promote his first book, and very few people are aware of this excellent work.The long version:First off, I'd like to say that I am a big Robert Kiyosaki fan since 2001, a time that I was struggling financially. I've read all his books and played his Cashflow game a lot, and was able to achieve my financial freedom in 2007. Therefore, I have a huge debt of gratitude to Mr. Kiyosaki, and I have nothing personal against him.Also, many may think that I am writing a negative review because I can't write books myself. However, being a best-selling author in my country, with 23 books published about Information Technology, this is definitely not the case.That said, I was hugely disappointed by this book, and I consider this to be his worst book to date. It seems that Mr. Kiyosaki's new plan to write books is to read half dozen books and explain the same concepts using the ideas he'd already published on his previous books. From a book with over 400 pages, probably only 10 pages consist of new material. There is good advice on the new material (e.g., on page 197, "Do your part to fight the entitlement mentality: Don't give your kids money" and "Many sports programs teach kids that everyone gets a trophy, even if they lose. What is that teaching a child? That everyone is entitled to be a winner?," but the reader who had already read previous Kiyosaki's previous books probably won't have the patience to read this book and find the pearls of windows within. Everything else is comprised of recycled old contents and advertising for his other books and games.There is nothing bad about using ideas created by other people, as long as you explain them with your own words, add your own flavor to them, and add a bibliography to the book. However, he simply quotes passages from several books without adding anything new, therefore you are better off reading the original works for a more in-depth understanding. Also, except for the first editions of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad," Kiyosaki doesn't add a bibliography to his books, which is a mortal sin in the publishing industry. I've listed below all the books Robert Kiyosaki read to write "Why A Students Work for C Students," as far as I can tell (i.e., this is the bibliography that is missing from the book):ARNOLD, Karen. Lives of Promise: What Becomes of High School Valedictorians. Jossey-Bass, 1995.BOETCKER. William J. H. The Ten Cannots. 1916.BOGLE, John. The Battle for the Soul of Capitalism. Yale University Press, 2005.GARDNER, Howard. Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences. Basic Books, 1983.GRIFFIN, G. Edward. The Creature of Jekyll Island. Amer Media, 1994.ISAACSON, Walter. Steve Jobs. Simon & Schuster, 2011.LUNTZ, Frank. What Americans Really Want...Really: The Truth About Our Hopes, Dreams, and Fears. Hyperion, 2009.MASLOW, Abraham Harold. Motivation and Personality. Harper, 1954.PAUL, Ron. End the Fed. Grand Central Publishing, 2009.STANLEY, Thomas. The Millionaire Mind. McMeel, 2001.The book is badly edited and badly written, and sometimes I thought I was reading a self-published brochure. Actually, this book IS self-published! Further research about the publishing house (Plata Publishing LLC) and I found out that, even though their offices are in Scottsdale, Arizona (same city where Robert Kiyosaki lives), it is a Nevada LLC, whose main owner is the Rich Dad Operating Company LLC, which in turn is owned by Robert and Kim Kiyosaki (these are public records that are all there at the Nevada's Secretary of State website)... The registered agent for the companies is Corporate Direct, which belongs to Kiyosaki's lawyer (and author) Garret Sutton. In summary, currently Robert Kiyosaki books ARE self-published... The author brags that he is a millionaire, yet he didn't have a few thousand dollars to hire an editor to revise and improve his book?What is new is in this book is that Mr. Kiyosaki decided to write his personal views on politics, basically defending Mitt Romney and trashing Barack Obama. This was completely unnecessary. Since I am not an American citizen, I am neither Democrat or Republican, and really don't care about American politics, as it is my opinion that politics in the United States are completely corrupted by the money of big corporations, so it doesn't matter if the president is a Republican or a Democrat; government policies are currently dictated by special interest groups, and the system is visibly broken. (Kiyosaki should have talked about this instead, in my humble opinion.) These passages about politics will alienate readers who are not over-50-year-old Republicans, who don't watch Fox News, and those who are from other countries (such as myself), as most of us don't follow and/or are not interested in U.S. politics. Curiously, in this book Mr. Kiyosaki brags that his books are published in over 100 countries and over 50 languages (and, therefore, most of his readers are located outside the United States), yet he doesn't have the sensibility of staying away of commentaries specific to the United States that are not of interest outside the country and very difficult to translate to other cultures. (And even inside the country, such discussion in a book about education is questionable.) I guess that, unfortunately, Mr. Kiyosaki is turning himself into an "ugly American."As many of Mr. Kiyosaki's readers already know, the most painful issue with the author's writing style is the ad nauseam repetition of specific expressions, sentences or words. In "Why A Students Work for C Students" the chosen word was "Steve Jobs." He repeated the name of Apple's co-founder an astonishing 33 times throughout the book (yep, I counted: p. 7, p. 8, p. 39, p. 40, p. 59, p. 61, p. 65, p. 66, p. 70 2x, p. 89, p. 102, p. 109, p. 152, p. 167, p. 168, p. 169, p. 170, p. 187 2x, p. 250, p. 266, p. 295, p. 331, p. 351, p. 383 2x, and p. 391 6x). And the worst thing, he writes as if Jobs was the only founder of the company, completely discounting that the technical genius behind Apple was the other co-founder, Steve Wozniak, and that they could only raise money because of the third co-founder, venture capitalist Mike Markkula. As much Steve Jobs is considered a "genius" in some circles (a view I don't particularly agree after reading Steve Job's biography by Walter Isaacson), Apple wouldn't exist as it is today without Wozniak and Markkula.And, as it happens on most of his books, Robert Kiyosaki insists in publishing stories that are simply not true, as you will see below in my complete list of factual errors published in "Why A Students Work for C Students."In summary, the title of the book is great, the actual delivery is awful. Curiously, Kiyosaki has published an excellent book on this subject, "If You Want to Be Rich & Happy Don't Go to School," which is far better written and deeper (co-written by Hal Zina Bennett, PhD, which makes a huge difference). Curiously enough, Kiyosaki doesn't like to promote his first book, and very few people are aware of this excellent work.Below you will find my specific comments for "Why A Students Work for C Students," by Robert T. Kiyosaki:p. 25: "(...) get my Masters Degree (...)" The correct spelling is "Master's degree."p. 38-39: The author publishes a list of successful people who didn't graduate from college. There are three problems with this list. First, several people listed are from a time that colleges didn't even exist and/or were not relevant to their professions (e.g., Christopher Columbus). Second, in the list there are several people who went to college but didn't graduate, as they dropped out of college to run their businesses. The presence of their names in the list is questionable, since without the connections they made during their college years they wouldn't be able to start their business and/or careers and become successful (e.g., Bill Gates, Paul Allen, Mark Zuckerberg, and Karl Rove). And, third, there are several people who graduated from college yet were added to the list:In number 7 he lists John Glenn. Mr. Glenn graduated with a B. Sc. in Engineering from Muskingum College in New Concord, Ohio (source: NASA's website).In number 10 he lists Winston Churchill. Sir Churchill graduated from the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, in 1894.In number 33 he lists Carly Fiorina "CEO of Hewlett Packard." It should say "ex-CEO," since she left the company in 2005, way before the book was published. Ms. Fiorina has a B.A. in Philosophy and Medieval Arts from Stanford University (1976), an MBA in Marketing from the University of Maryland, College Park (1980), and a master's degree in Management from the MIT in 1989. Therefore listing her as not having finished college is simply absurd.In number 41 he lists J. Paul Getty. Actually, J. Paul Getty graduated in Economics and Political Science at Magdalen College, Oxford, in 1914.In number 44 he lists Tom Anderson (founder of MySpace), who graduated with a B.A. of Arts in Rhetoric and English from University of California, Berkeley and got a master's degree in Film - Critical Studies at University of California, Los Angeles.In number 47 he lists Steve Wozniak. It is true that he didn't go to college before founding Apple, however he graduated college afterwards (University of California, Berkeley, in 1986).p. 43: "I accepted the appointment to Kings Point and graduated in 1969 with a Bachelor of Science degree." This is the first time Kiyosaki adds this "with a Bachelor of Science degree." What does that mean? I believe that without saying the specifics of the diploma, mentioning that you have a B. Sc. is meaningless.p. 79: "Later in life a child may learn another language, but the accent developed early in life often transfers to the new language." This is simply not true. When learning a new language, you retain your teacher's accent, not your own accent of your first language. Depending on the age you learn a second language, you will speak with no accent at all.p. 89: "Steve Jobs loved his game ¬- the game of making people feel smart, hip, and like geniuses..." Quite the contrary. Steve Jobs berated and threated everybody around him really badly. (Source: Jobs, by Walter Isaacson.)p. 94: "(...) Masters or Bachelors degrees." The correct spelling is "Master's" and "Bachelor's," respectively.p. 94: "Today, one of my personal role models for business leadership is Donald Trump. Although he is rich and successful, he treats most people, rich or poor, with respect. My experience in working with Donald is that his communication, even when it's tough, is always respectful." I guaranteed that there are several people out there who won't agree with this sentence, starting with the president Barack Obama. Donald Trump "demanded" the president to show his full-form birth certificate and now that he has shown it, he is "demanding" the president to show his college transcripts and passport application, and even offered $5 million to charity if the president released them, as Trump thinks the president was born in Kenya. When a newspaper asked Trump if he would release his own records, he said that the request was "stupid." Is that treating the president of the United States with respect? Take your political views a part for a second, and listen to Trump and Obama talking and you will clearly see which one has a better education.p. 111: "The Harvard Review Journal published an article (...)." No bibliographical references, such as author, title, issue, year etcetera.p. 120-121: Robert Kiyosaki compares Franklin Delano Roosevelt to Adolf Hitler. I am not kidding. Kiyosaki thinks that the creation of the Social Security in 1935 is comparable to the Holocaust. I almost threw the book in the trash bin after that, but I kept reading, as I wanted to write this review.p. 179: "There is a lot of talk about `tort reform,' which means limiting the outrageous sums of money that judges and juries can award a patient. One reason there may never be `tort reform' is because most of the lawmakers in Washington are lawyers. The rest are politicians who receive large campaign contributions from trial lawyers." The rhetoric with the so-called "tort reform" is that it would lower insurance premiums to medical doctors and, the reasoning goes, it would lower the cost of health insurance to the population. However, on the states where "tort reform" was implemented, there was no decline in the insurance premiums paid by doctors and patients. Therefore, it is my view that politicians are right in blocking "tort reform," not because they are lawyers or financed by lawyers, but because it is in the best for the American population - unless it is mandatory for insurance companies to substantially reduce their premiums (which will never happen). For a more in-depth coverage of this subject, watch the excellent documentary "Hot Coffee" (which Mr. Kiyosaki obviously hasn't watched).p. 181: "President Obama went on the offensive attacking the rich, saying the rich 1% did not pay their `fair share' in taxes. (...) If 1% of the wealthiest Americans pay 37% of all taxes collected, while the half of Americans earning $34,000 a year or less pay only 2.4%, it doesn't seem unreasonable to ask: Who isn't paying their fair share?" That is an easy one: the big corporations. The largest American corporations pay zero tax in the United States (e.g., GE, Boeing, Verizon, Mattel, Bank of America, and Google - feel free to look it up), while having record profits. In fact, some of the biggest companies even get tax refunds in the order of millions of dollars. From the top 30 companies in the U.S., only DuPont paid more than 4% in taxes in the United States in the past four years. Some claim big corporations shouldn't pay taxes as they create jobs. The problem is that these jobs are usually in China, India, and Ireland. This important subject was barely touched by Robert Kiyosaki in this book. For more information, watch the documentary "We're not Broke" and read the book "Treasure Islands," by Nicholas Shaxson.p. 194: "The reason the United States cannot balance a budget is simply because the cost of our entitlement programs." Is that really true? If big corporations paid their taxes as they were supposed to pay, wouldn't the budget balance? If the government stopped buying ships and airplanes the military doesn't want, wouldn't the budget balance? (Kiyosaki actually talks about this.) As anyone (except the government) knows, you cannot spend more money than you make. The issue is as simple as that.p. 197: "(...) the Maine Corps (...)" Typo, it should be "Marine."p. 202: "Very few schools recommend their students read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, who takes the other side of the coin, vilifying the socialists and honoring the capitalists." My best guess is that Robert Kiyosaki never read this book, and only cited it because Paul Ryan, vice-presidential candidate with Mitt Romney, mentioned on an interview that this was his favorite and most influential book. (I personally don't take Robert Kiyosaki as the reading type; otherwise he would have better writing skills). Otherwise, Robert Kiyosaki would also mention that this book also talks about egoism, the money above everything else, no matter the consequences, and the big discussion on ethics promoted by this book. Furthermore, I wonder which K-12 school would recommend its students to read a 1,200-page novel.p. 239: "In 2012, a battle broke out in the state of Wisconsin. The fight was an election to unseat (recall) their newly elected governor. Many workers were angry with Governor Scott Walker for cutting their pay and retirement benefits, benefits the state could no longer afford to pay." Huh? The reason was not that. The workers were protesting mainly because the governor wanted to strip their right for collective bargaining. Here is a quote from CBS News website: "The recall fight, prompted by Walker's decision to strip Wisconsin public workers of their collective bargaining rights, has doubled as a proxy fight over whether Republicans can push through spending cuts and confront organized labor - and live to tell about it." For more, watch the documentary "Citizen Koch." Mr. Kiyosaki should get his facts straight.p. 258: "Globalization also means the U.S. government has already surrender massive amounts of political and economic power to global organizations such as the United Nations, the WTO (World Trade Organization), the IMF (International Monetary Fund) and the World Bank." The United States simply ignore anything that is set by these institutions - e.g., the invasion of Iraq, against the United Nations. The WTO and the IMF are simply puppets of American interests. And the World Bank, despite its name, is in fact controlled by the United States: since the formation of this institution, all presidents have been American citizens, and the U.S. has veto power in this institution. All these institutions are located in the United States and, therefore, there is nothing of "global" about them.p. 277: "He just did not pay it to you, and then he let's (sic) you think he is giving you extra money." Kiyosaki has just murdered grammar on this one.p. 281: "If private citizens did not do what the government needs done, we would have communism." What? It is quite the contrary. Apparently Kiyosaki doesn't know the difference between anarchy and communism. What he describes is anarchy, where citizens do whatever they want to do. In communism, the government controls the citizens, and people cannot do what they want to do. See North Korea and the former Soviet Union.p. 307: "Q: Who does God love more? A: The rich? The middle class? Or the poor?" It seems that Kiyosaki doesn't know the difference between question and answer.p. 331: "The word education comes from the word educe." Nope. The word education comes from the Latin word "educatio."p. 344: "(...) the Maine Corps (...)" Typo, it should be "Marine."p. 351: "This is what Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg did when Apple and Facebook went public. (...) They became billionaires." This is simply not true. On Apple's IPO in 1980, Steve Jobs had 7.5 million shares, and since each share traded for $22, his shares were worth $165 million. Although his net worth peaked at $10 billion during his lifetime, this was accomplished over the years and not at the day of Apple's IPO, as the text claims.p. 361: "It isn't surprising that, in recent months, the words socialism and communism are heard more and more often in mainstream media." Only if you consider Fox News "mainstream media."p. 368: "In fact, the word capital is derived from the word cattle." No, it is not. "Capital" comes from the Latin word "capitalis," which means "of the head." Once again, Kiyosaki should research more before writing.p. 399: "As soon as I started writing this book I knew it would be the most important book I've ever written." Mr. Kiyosaki, you definitely have an ego issue. This is, by a long margin, your worst work.It seems that I did a far better job in researching for this book than Mr. Kiyosaki himself. This is the last book from this author I will ever read, even though I am a big fan. Enough is enough.
