Undoubtedly, Rich Dad Poor Dad is a great starting point for anyone looking to gain control of their own financial future. His inspirational way of writing enough to make you want to start investing as soon as you completed reading the book. However, he doesn't show the exact science of making money.

It's plain English writing made even the most naive person to investing world can still understand and apply the concept. However, don't expect you can invest straightaway as you might need to learn the nuts and bolts about specific investment options.

The Little Book That Beats the Market By Greenblatt
Greenblatt conveys his ideas through a lucid if rudimentary and rather corny explanation of basic investment concepts about risk, return, interest and business valuation.
