When it comes to books, “Rich dad, Poor Dad” (Rich dad) would always be the first one I recommend  to people I meet. 

Like it says, it teaches you “what the rich teach their kids the poor and middle class do not”, it doesn’t go into details about how to get rich, but trains your mindset to start thinking like a rich person. 

It’s definitely one of the life changing books to me, some friends often tell me I sound like Robert Kiyosaki (Author of Rich dad) when I talk. Indeed, I’m heavily influenced, but DON’T get me wrong, please DO NOT misinterpret and take this book as a step-by-step guide. Some concepts in this book might just not be right for you, you still have to do some thinking while you read, if it doesn’t apply, skip through.

Pros: Very good and positive financial mindset training

Cons: The cross sale in Rich Dad series can get a bit annoying sometimes, and it repeats the same idea over and over (but hey, repeating makes you remember right?) 

Bottom line: Your financial education will be at a whole new level after you finish this book, although you might not get all that rich by just reading it, you will at least be able to better manage your personal finance, like never before.

After you finish with it, you might as well buy the Rich Dad board game CashFlow 101 to further practice what you’ve learn from the book.
