Why "A" Students Work for "C" Students and Why "B" Students Work for the Government Description
Kiyosaki expands on his belief that the school system was created to churn out 'Es' / Employees... those "A Students" who read well, memorize well and test well... and not the creative thinkers, visionaries and dreamers –entrepreneurs-in-the-making... those "C Students who grow up to be the innovators and creators of new ideas, businesses, applications and products.
The book urges parents not to be obsessed with their kids' "letter grades" ("good grades" might only mean they or the student themselves were successful in jamming a square peg into a round hole...) and focus, instead, on concepts, ideas, and helping their child find their true genius, their special gift. The path they can pursue with a love and true passion.
Robert showcases success stories of "C Students" who grew up to be phenomenal successes – and HIRED those "A Students"(attorneys, accountants, and other school-smart specialists) to work in their businesses... while the more average students, "B Students," often find themselves in government-type jobs...
Not surprisingly, Kiyosaki will coin his own definitions of what "A," "B," and "C" stand for as he gives parents and their children bits of wisdom as well as insights and tools for navigating an ever-changing world... an Information Age world where the ability to change and adapt, understand relationships, and anticipate the future will shape their lives.

The short version:
Worst Robert Kiyosaki book to date; from 400 pages, there are probably 10 pages with new material. He quotes a lot of books, and you will be better off reading the original books. Really badly edited and badly written (his books got worst in this aspect after his legal battle with Sharon Lechter and now that they are self-published); for a guy who brags that he is a millionaire, it would cost him only a few thousand dollars to hire a copy editor and get a better written book (Sharon, we miss you!). What is new on this book is that Kiyosaki spends a great deal of time expressing his personal views on politics, which is completely unnecessary and makes no sense to international readers and will probably alienate all readers that are not over-50-years-old Republicans and/or don't watch Fox News. The author continues to write stories that are not true and publishes a lot of factual errors. The title is excellent, but the delivery doesn't work. If you like the title, you should read Kiyosaki's first book, "If You Want to Be Rich & Happy Don't Go to School," which is far better written and deeper (co-written by Hal Zina Bennett, PhD, which makes a huge difference). Curiously enough, Kiyosaki doesn't like to promote his first book, and very few people are aware of this excellent work.
The long version:
First off, I'd like to say that I am a big Robert Kiyosaki fan since 2001, a time that I was struggling financially. I've read all his books and played his Cashflow game a lot, and was able to achieve my financial freedom in 2007. Therefore, I have a huge debt of gratitude to Mr. Kiyosaki, and I have nothing personal against him.
Also, many may think that I am writing a negative review because I can't write books myself.
