I have heard contradicting responses from people who have read this book. What's your opinion. I'm still deciding if I want to buy this book.
Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Read it with an open mind without any specific expectations and then ask yourself whether you are comfortable with his perspective about wealth.

I don't respect that book at all. Robert T Kiyosaki endorses the pyramid scam network 21 by amway. This one guy tried to get my into that stuff. Since I didn't know what pyramid scams were at the time, I went to an informational meeting. He gave me a ride and on the way there he played a cd of Kiyosaki. At the meeting, the presenters were talking how smart Kiyosaki is and also mentioned that Kiyosaki said that if he had to start all over again, he would do it though network 21. Near the end of the meeting when the guys were asking me for a buttload of money to join, it hit me that this is a scam. I then noticed that Kiyosaki's material played perfectly into the psychology tactics that network 21 used to recruit people.
I don't think his book was meant specifically to be used by network 21 as that book is successful on its own to make a lot of profit.
Take a look at the controversy section of this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Kiyosaki
Also, I noticed that the majority of the people who read rich dad poor dad are college students, unsuccessful adults, or adults who are successful at scamming people.

IMO, good for motivation....not much else. It's a good read, but in the way of tips, lessons....it's no good.
It's worth a read though.

The guy's a scam artist and talks out of both sides of his mouth. This website covers him in depth: http://www.johntreed.com/Kiyosaki.html
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I read the book, and I really enjoy his other material too. Now this book is obviously not perfect since it doesn't get into specifics and but it is more of an eye opener, and there is controversy on how his business practices are. (I am not going to get into more details, since it will take a long time to explain and this not a "business" site) Overall it's a good read !
The book is motivational at best, a waste of money worst. I mean it is a little entertaining to read and the story is OK but it gives you very very general ideas. You will probably read it and then think, I already knew that. What we want to know is how to apply that knowledge, which is where the book is lacking.

Kiyosaki's entire premise on wealth is based on creating passive income. Multi-level marketing is just one way to create passive income (if done correctly). How much do you know about his ideas about creating wealth?spesmilitis said:What did my post have to do with increasing passive income? If you think pyramid scams are a great way to make money . . .

I agree with this Italian dude who's name I can't pronounce. Kiyosako has sound philosophy. And if you actually read his books he says multi level marketing is good in order increase sales skills and confidence to move onto bigger things. He doesnt directly say this will make you rich.

Not understanding the information would definitely make it useless.Luveno said:This book is a whole lot of motivational thinking but absolutely no practical application, which makes it useless...
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

But he does show you how you use it among other methods as passive income in order to lower your taxable earned income.Jayer said:I agree with this Italian dude who's name I can't pronounce.

All multi-level marketing corporations are scams. Most of the money they make are from their own participants.Francisco d'Anconia said:Kiyosaki's entire premise on wealth is based on creating passive income.

If you'd like to see multi-level marketing that works study any corporation whose sales directors who are paid bonuses based on the commission of their sales managers.spesmilitis said:All multi-level marketing corporations are scams. Most of the money they make are from their own participants.

After I read it, I told my father that the entire book should have been 2 pages long. Good message, good advice, but too long winded. I think it was written for a Joe Lunchbucket audience with all its stories to keep the reader interested (and to add fluff so he could call it a book).
Check out eMyth, Sun Tzu, The Prince and the The Millionaire Next Door series. If you're into making money off trends, check out The Tipping Point.

Everyone is familiar with "The Matrix" as it applies to women? It's the same with money, that's why people who aren't clued in about how to make REAL money in a reasonable period of time (while you are still young enough to enjoy it) are obviously inclined to give it a bad review.jt the azn said:I have heard contradicting responses from people who have read this book.

Fact is, if you have read the book and feel it's a "scam" or "bad information" or whatever, you're smack in the middle of said Matrix.
“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
