When I saw a copy of “The Power of Now” at a friend’s house, it peaked my interest because I know it’s a bestseller book but I never knew what it was all about. I had always thought it’s a time management book (hehe) because the title gave an impression that it has something to do with time.
I haven’t logged in to Richdad forums for a few months and just today when I wanted to get to some old post I made in the Richdad forums, the welcome page wowed me away. There was a picture of a sleek black book cover with the photos of Robert Kiyosaki and The Donald. The book is entitled “Why We Want You to be Rich: Two Men, One Message”.

Upon buying this book, I’d say I’ve passed one of the criterion of being a millionaire. Frugal. I bought this book at Payless Bookshop at RM13 (that’s about USD$4) when the normal retail price is about RM40 (around USD$11).

Rich Dad, Poor Dad was one of the books that has the biggest influence in my life. It didn’t only inspire me to control my finances, but it also changed my perception of things. Kiyosaki can be seen as an iconoclast, what he says makes sense but goes head-to-head with our traditional ideals. It was my first book on finance and that was all it took to sprout my interest in personal development, business and finance.
