Like many people interested in broadening their financial perspective, I purchased a copy of (the very popular) “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter (I found out later that Ms. Lechter sued Kiyosaki - they're not friends any longer.) I liked the common-sense style of the book and how Kiyosaki talked about controlling greed and fear - and also how important it was to give to others. I thought this "altruistic" and perhaps even "zen" perspective was rare in business books. I found myself trusting in his opinions and advice due to this seemingly-caring perspective for others. When I discovered that “Rich Dad” was having a free seminar in my city I thought I'd check it out to see what it was all about.
The seminar consisted of a slick-talking moderator that played videos of Robert Kiyosaki spouting much of the same info in his books.
