It's Rising Time!: What It Really Takes for the Reward of Financial Freedom
Kim Kiyosaki · 2012
🎙 Narrated by Joyce Bean
61/100
👎 Skip It
Kim Kiyosaki's push for women to take courageous, sustained action with their money is clear and heartfelt, and it rides on the credibility of the Rich Dad name plus Joyce Bean's award-winning narration. But it's still Rich Dad-adjacent thinking, a philosophy some financial critics have challenged elsewhere, and there's no independent review confirming this particular title clears that bar on its own.
