His book "Rich dad poor dad" is a work of fiction that he markets as being real. There is no "rich dad" he just made stuff up, and made bank. He is a liar.

I am glad he came up with that fake story, changed the direction of my life.

He's rich off of selling his "how to get rich" books and pretty much nothing else. He just repackages concepts repeated in 1000 other books around a fictional narrative to make it relatable then sells them to the lost and desperate.

I do agree, but do you have/use any good reference/summary/bullet points for key principles/value concepts? (i barely can finish reading a paragraph, not mentioning a book). One one hand I would say exercise, eat healthy, stay positive, stay organized, have goals, on the other hand life is irrational :). What helped you the most?

I personally approach it as a hierarchy.
- Get structured. Without structure in your life all subsequent steps are going to fail. Set yourself a bed time, set a wake up time, block off time to do your chores each week, block off time to exercise etc... The more structure you can bake into your life the easier the subsequent steps will be.
- Get Healthy. It's hard to focus or be motivated when you feel like crap and it doesn't take anything super extreme to feel far better. Get a nutrition plan together, do meal prep on Sundays, Focus on 50% fruit and veg, 40% Leanish protein and 10% grain / starch and stay hydrated. Track what you consume in a tracker (myfitnesspal for example) to make sure you're reasonably within your needs. Cut out the alcohol, smoking or anything like that and get 45 minutes of exercise 4-5 times a week, even if it's just a brisk walk around the block. Get enough sleep and boom, you'll feel great and your stress levels will drop
- Figure out your plan with your goal in mind. I can't really give any specific advice here because I know nothing about you but once you've set a good personal foundation for structure and health it's going to be a lot easier to execute on your plan to bring financial / career / social / personal success.

Please don’t listen to this guy. He sells snake oil. Most of his advice is really bad. He is selling books not investment advice.

I’ll never forget Robert laughing about a man with kids being evicted from his home at Christmas, the man had his belongings taken away by garbagemen by accident and Rob found that to be hilarious.
Rob is a cornball. a waste of time in my opinion

He's kind of right, but people can also badly overextend themselves that way - see the 2008 crash.
Right now we are in an environment where inflation is bad and eggs of all things - usually some of the most reliable, cheapest protein - are overpriced.
If you are having a shit year financially, save when you can (some online accounts are paying 3.5% or more interest) and be kind to yourself.
