Ah, the grifter Robert Kiyosaki.
He's pretty problematic selling pyramid schemes and motivational talks, while also taking advantage of the vulnerable.

MODERATORS
All self help books are bullshit, financial books especially so.
Also what should I do with the book after reading it (I'm planning to burn it, but maybe there is a more fun idea)
Idk, I've read some good ones and some bad ones. My favorites are "Thinking, Fast and Slow" and "Making it Stick". Not totally sure if those fall under the "self help" category.
The Heath brothers are great.
Any books where the author is actively selling a service, like consulting or training, assume that the book is just a glorified Infomercial in written form. Unfortunately that is like 90% of these books.
I exaggerated a little 😺
My problem with self help books is what they teach feels basic, and we tend to reject basic ideas (even if they may help us) so may I ask what your main takeaways from your books were, do they feel basic?
Already from book worth pondering.
My million dollar idea 😭😭
