Do You Have Anything Less Brash Than Rich Dad?

Entry level financial education books frequently even if not always highlight Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad series of books.

Yet the Rich Dad series by Robert Kiyosaki are widely described as brash, unconventional, and even confrontational. Its confrontational posture, often striking a stark contrast between the author's two fathers (the rich dad and poor dad) lead to allegations and insinuations that the author was being unfair in his description of the poor dad.

The original book Rich Dad, Poor Dad, downplays or even dismisses the efforts of the poor dad in working life, and trumps up the lessons received by the author from his rich dad.

The Psychology of Money

The stories of Morgan Housel, in the abovementioned book may be more palatable to some.

Written in easily readable yet approachable style, Morgan Housel explores how the reader's behavior, emotions, and personal history—rather than technical abilities—drive financial success.

In the said book, managing psychological behavior is argued to be more crucial than understanding complex formulas. More effective than mere financial cleverness.

The book can be found in:

• Amazon Kindle

• Amazon Audiobooks

• hardcopy from Kinokuniya Malaysia.

The pscyhology of money

But this blogger is curious as to readers' understanding of what the authors of the 2 books seek to achieve. In both books, some form of psychology is sought to influence the reader - to get the reader to money towards money, wealth and richness.

Do you agree that the authors are successful in influencing your views on money, and therefore wealth and abundance?
