September 03, 2005: This is a surperb book. I full expect to see it on the NY Times best seller list. It will most probably knock Rich Dad out of the coveted #1 spot. Every person should have at least three copies of this book. Beat your feet down to the store and grab four copies today. Makes a great gift also.
