Rich Dad Poor Dad Book Review

Rich Dad Poor Dad book is written by Robert T. Kiyosaki, who is an American businessman and author.

It’s a must have book for the beginners, who wants to gain knowledge about financial education. He had explained it with sharing his own experiences, based on the principles of financial literacy – investing, accounts, returns, liabilities, mutual funds etc.

He had shared his own journey, as a school going kid, how he started learning from his rich friend’s dad about the path of becoming rich.

He has shown different perspective of both , how rich people became more richer and how the poor or middle class people remains the same.

How rich thinks of investing their money to earn more money ,while the middle class person think of spending their money on buying or keep on saving.

He has also explains the importance of financial education in our lives which should be included in schools. Must check the do’s n don’ts of finance as well.

“It’s not how much money you make, it’s how much money you keep.”

The Secret Book Review

The secret is an amazing book written by author “Rhonda Byrne”.
When i saw this book first, I was really curious about the title of this book, as well as the cover page. The title and the cover page of this book pulls many people towards it as the word “Secret” in it, what secret could it be…? And the cover page looks very classic.


But I can tell you one thing, that after reading this book will completely change your perspective about life, even about yourself. You will start loving yourself, giving importance to yourself.


You will definitely start looking every thing in a different way, in a positive way. Suddenly, you will feel getting a lot of mental strength in every situation around you. Your mind will change from problem oriented to solution oriented.


This book tells you about the life of many highly successful people around the world with their own experience’s, you get to hear from them yourself.


You will feel like they are the ones, who are sharing their own story to you. And this book consists of secrets to money, relationship, health, the world, life, biographies and will give you reality check about yourself as well.


Its main focus is about the thoughts, and how to deal with negative thoughts and change it to the positive one, importance of gratitude, the power of visualization can change your whole life.


I just want to conclude with this as “the Law of Attraction” can change anything into reality and how the “Power of Visualisation” can help you to change your complete life which exactly mentioned as “THE SECRET”. The way author has used the word you, you will feel that this book is written for you only.
