The Million Dollar Lab

I'm a big fan of the, "Rich Dad", series of books. I have read most of them and without exception I find them enjoyable to read, hard to put down, and full on inspiring information.
Robert Kiyosaki excels at taking a topic that could be hard to understand and making it accessible to anyone. He is also has the ability to open the reader's mind to a whole host of new opportunities.
His stories, examples, and simple way of explaining things always drive the point home that with a little bit of effort, education, and a lot of courage and persistence, anyone can escape the rat race and be financially free.

Rich Dad's Conspiracy of The Rich centres around how the super rich and government write the rules of money to their advantage. Very relevant in a time where Mum and Dad investors have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars while at the same time the very organizations and leaders that lost the money simply walk away or are bailed out (to the tune of billions of dollars in the US).
You will learn some things about money that will shock you. Like how Governments regularly print their own money while making yours worth less, and why really big businesses don't go broke. But you will also learn how to protect yourself and play by the Rules of the Rich.

The point of the book is not so much to complain about the way things are but to teach how the system works and how to work the system. Imagine you are playing a game against someone that knows the rules far better than yourself, how much better than you are they going to be? What are the chances they will win every time? The same thing is happening everyday to 90% of the population with their finances, they work hard and play hard but not knowing the rules how can they win?

This is Robert Kiyosaki's book on the big picture. If you're interested in winning in the game of money, and you want to get a better understanding of the big picture and what exactly the rules of the game are, then this is the book for you.
