What the Rich Teach Their Kids about Money That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!

April of 2022 marks a 25-year milestone for the personal finance classic Rich Dad Poor Dad that still ranks as the #1 Personal Finance book of all time. And although 25 years have passed since Rich Dad Poor Dad was first published,readers will find that very little in the book itself has changed -- and forgood reason. While so much in our world is changing a high speed, the lessons about money and the principles of Rich Dad Poor Dad haven't changed. Today, as money continues to play a key role in our daily lives, the messages in Robert Kiyosaki's international bestseller are more timely and more important than ever.

Milestones 

While there is a milestone  to commemorate -- and a new section in the book on Why Milestones Are Important-- preserving the integrity of the original content is testimony to the factthat this book has truly stood the test of time. The sidebars throughout thebook (that were updated for the 20-year anniversary edition) have been updated again, but the core principles that parents and grandparents -- those whoembraced Robert's story and messages 25 years ago -- are sharing them with newgenerations who have found that its timeless wisdom and no-nonsense lessons canbe applied to anyone's life and their vision for a future that includes takingcontrol of their finances.



People of all cultures and countries celebrate milestones. We use them to measure time, mark progress, reflect on the lessons we've learned, andcelebrate accomplishments... and they give meaning to our life's journey. Theyare a way that we integrate past, present, and future... looking back at where westarted, where we are today... and the promise of all that the future can hold.

In the quarter century that has passed since Rich Dad Poor Dad wasfirst published -- 25 years since April 8, 1997 -- so many things in our worldhave changed. But the one thing that has not changed is the pressing need forand the power of financial education. Money is still a mainstay of our lives,like it or not, and technology has brought both speed and innovations to theworld of money. In an ever-changing world, we can all still get smarter when itcomes to money... and learn as much as we can to secure our future.

Still the One... #1 

Today Rich Dad Poor Dad consistently ranks among bestsellers around the world in the categories of Personal Finance, Parenting, and Investing, has been translated into 38 languages, and has sold more than 40 million copies worldwide.



Rich Dad Poor Dad is Robert's story of growing up with two dads --his real father and the father of his best friend, his rich dad -- and the waysin which both men shaped his thoughts about money and investing. The bookexplodes the myth that you need to earn a high income to be rich and explainsthe difference between working for money and having your money work for you.

In many ways, the messages of Rich Dad Poor Dad, messages that werechallenged and criticized 25 ago, are more meaningful, relevant, and importanttoday than ever.

Rich Dad Poor Dad...
* Explodes the myth that you need to earn a high income to become rich
* Challenges the belief that your house is an asset
* Shows parents why they can't rely on the school system to teach their kids about money
* Defines once and for all an asset and a liability
* Teaches you what to teach your kids about money for their future financial success

Iris Chang

The Forgotten Holocaust of World War II

The New York Times bestselling account of one of history's most brutal -- and forgotten -- massacres, when the Japanese army destroyed China's capital city on the eve of World War II

In December 1937, one of the most horrific atrocities in the long annals of wartime barbarity occurred. The Japanese army swept into the ancient city of Nanking (what was then the capital of China), and within weeks, more than 300,000 Chinese civilians and soldiers were systematically raped, tortured, and murdered. In this seminal work, Iris Chang, whose own grandparents barely escaped the massacre, tells this history from three perspectives: that of the Japanese soldiers, that of the Chinese, and that of a group of Westerners who refused to abandon the city and created a safety zone, which saved almost 300,000 Chinese.

Drawing on extensive interviews with survivors and documents brought to light for the first time, Iris Chang's classic book is the definitive history of this horrifying episode.




"Chang vividly, methodically, records what happened, piecing together the abundant eyewitness reports into an undeniable tapestry of horror." - Adam Hochschild, Salon

Richard Rothstein

A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America

Widely heralded as a "masterful" (Washington Post) and "essential" (Slate) history of the modern American metropolis, Richard Rothstein's The Color of Law offers "the most forceful argument ever published on how federal, state, and local governments gave rise to and reinforced neighborhood segregation" (William Julius Wilson). Exploding the myth of de facto segregation arising from private prejudice or the unintended consequences of economic forces, Rothstein describes how the American government systematically imposed residential segregation: with undisguised racial zoning; public housing that purposefully segregated previously mixed communities; subsidies for builders to create whites-only suburbs; tax exemptions for institutions that enforced segregation; and support for violent resistance to African Americans in white neighborhoods. A groundbreaking, "virtually indispensable" study that has already transformed our understanding of twentieth-century urban history (Chicago Daily Observer), The Color of Law forces us to face the obligation to remedy our unconstitutional past.

A Secret History of the War

Unlike the wars in Vietnam and Iraq, the US invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 had near-unanimous public support. At first, the goals were straightforward and clear: to defeat al-Qaeda and prevent a repeat of 9/11. Yet soon after the United States and its allies removed the Taliban from power, the mission veered off course and US officials lost sight of their original objectives

Jodi Picoult

A Love Story

From Jodi Picoult, one of the most powerful writers in contemporary fiction, comes a riveting, timely, heartbreaking, and terrifying novel of families in anguish—and friendships ripped apart by inconceivable violence. Until the phone calls came at 3:00 a.m. on a November morning, the Golds and their neighbors, the Hartes, had been inseparable. It was no surprise to anyone when their teenage children, Chris and Emily, began showing signs that their relationship was moving beyond that of lifelong friends. But now seventeen-year-old Emily has been shot to death by her beloved and devoted Chris as part of an apparent suicide pact—leaving two devastated families stranded in the dark and dense predawn, desperate for answers about an unthinkable act and the children they never really knew.

St. Louis and the Violent History of the United States

From an award-winning historian, a groundbreaking portrait of pervasive exploitation and radical resistance in America, told through the turbulent history of St. Louis From Lewis and Clark's 1804 expedition to the 2014 uprising in Ferguson, American history has been made in St. Louis. And as Walter Johnson shows in this searing book, the city exemplifies how imperialism, racism, and capitalism have persistently entwined to corrupt the nation's past. St. Louis was a staging post for Indian removal and imperial expansion, and its wealth grew on the backs of its poor black residents, from slavery through redlining and urban renewal. But it was once also America's most radical city, home to anti-capitalist immigrants, the Civil War's first general emancipation, and the nation's first general strike -- a legacy of resistance that endures. A blistering history of a city's rise and decline, The Broken Heart of America will forever change how we think about the United States.

Lauren Simmons

A Guide to Financial Wellness

The popular host of the Money Moves podcast and youngest person ever to trade on the New York Stock Exchange provides winning tips for women to help them shift their financial mindset, become confident about their money, set them on a path to financial security, and live their best lives. "Seventy three percent of Americans ranked their finances as the number one cause of stress in their lives. But financial wellness can have a positive effect on your entire life. Not only when it comes to money and finances, but the quality and ease of how you live. Financial wellness means freedom for your body and freedom for your mind. Financial stress can also cause the breakdown of relationships. But it doesn't have to be that way."--Lauren Simmons In 2017, when she was only twenty-two, Lauren Simmons became the youngest full-time female trader at the New York Stock Exchange, and the second African American woman in the Exchange's 228-year history to hold such a position. Driven by a passion for empowering women, Millennials, Gen Zs, and minorities to become more financially savvy, she now shares her experience and knowledge in this savvy financial guide. Simmons brings a fresh perspective to personal finance: she is a young African American woman with an understanding of how to increase wealth and an awareness of generational and cultural barriers--such an income inequity--that can hold people back from taking financial risks. In her warm, down-to-earth voice, Simmons makes confusing topics easy to understand. She breaks down the pros and cons of buying stocks and Treasuries, explains how to maximize your 401K opportunities even in challenging economic times, advises how to grapple with student loans, and helps you break family cycles when dealing (or not) with debt. Simmons helps a new generation and others who have been overlooked learn how to take care of their money--so their money can take care of them, today and tomorrow.
