A guide to investing

Been quite into reading Kiyosaki’s books lately, in particular “A guide to investing”. I was very excited reading the book at first, the first few chapters were very motivational, however I find the book is getting more and more dragging on the middle. Kiyosaki does talk big about himself (and his dad), a thought come in my mind, if he and his dad are really that succesful surely their name would have been famous for the richess (like Donald Trump, Warren Buffet or Bill Gates), a quick googling on kiyosaki landed this site
I think I believe that report, I have to admit that Kiyosaki does sound dodgy at times. Surely by reading his books you would learn a thing or two in terms of finance, but if you are serious in wanting to learn, your money better spent on other books (of which I haven’t got one to recommend). Or better still borrow the books from Kiyosaki fanatics, like what I’ve done :> Got two books to read.
Hhh.. maybe investing my time and effort to please God would be more worthwhile, but oh the tempation, the desire to be secure, comfortable and rich. Hope to crucify them fully to the cross.
