    Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki and Sharon L. Lechter is a widely read personal finance book that contrasts the mindsets of working for money versus making money work for you.

    “My first real exposure to the concepts was reading the book Rich Dad Poor Dad pretty shortly after I graduated college. And you know, just understanding the concept of passive income and making your money work for you really resonated with me.”
