In regards to your comment on "facts tell, stories sell", you may be interested in a great book called Made to Stick. In short, the authors find that it is always stories that stick best in peoples' heads. Martin: thanks for the suggestion - I just had a quick look at that book on Amazon and the reviews are very impressive. Jules: thanks for getting back to me on my query.

However, months later I know that I wouldn't have retained half of it if it weren't for that. The message is simple, but he uses various stories to make it more real to the reader. That's an invaluable teaching tool. Somebody told me one time, "Facts <i>tell</i>, but STORIES <i>sell</i>." And I did actually take away a lot of different information from each of his books. After those two books I read, <i>Rich Dad's Guide to Investing<i> and <i>Rich Kid, Smart Kid</i>. I really liked that last one because I have two small children and I want to give them a strong financial education. A lot of the other books that I read by his "brand" weren't written by him, but by his advisers. So, I read <i>The ABC's of Getting Out of Debt</i> and <i>The ABC's of Real Estate Investing<i>. I can't remember if Garrett Sutton is the author of both, but he is a Rich Dad adviser. Well, I tend to agree with you that a lot of his information is redundant.
