Criticism
John T. Reed, a critic from Robert Kiyosaki, says, "Rich Dad, Poor Daddy contains a lot of wrong suggestions, lots of bad advice, some dangerous advice, and almost no good advice." He also stated, "Rich Dad, Daddy is one of the dumbest financial advice books I've ever read." The book contains many factual errors and a very unlikely number of allegedly happening stories. " Kiyosaki gave a rebuttal to some of Reed's remarks. Rob Walker's row researcher calls the book full of nonsense, and says Kiyosaki's claims are often vague, the "fablelike" narrative, and many of them are "self-help boilerplates," noting general predictable features of books like it's in Rich Dad, Poor Dad . He also criticized Kiyosaki's conclusions about America, American culture, and Kiyosaki's methods.
