Its not entirely true. Ive seen a few that were good. Rich guy shows off by writing a book about his leftovers that make you more money than any other book.
There are some good books. But reading books never makes you rich. What makes you rich is what you do after reading them. Btw, which books do you have on your list?
Depends on their competence level. I am going to assume it's 0. That said, I guess the Rich Dad/Poor Dad stuff is an ok start.
I would recommend you to read the short story "Beware of the Dog" written by Roald Dahl. I think that this story will leave a good impression.
Look to the Bible, and the combined wealth of the various religions that use it as a guide to all that is good. Geez, not to mention all the other loons that pull money in left and right using the Bible. Become a televangelist using the Bible to beat the money out of the God-fearing people. )
