Rich Dad, Poor Dad is probably a good book to plant an idea of financial freedom in a beginner's mind, to give a paradigm shift, and to start the thought process.But, as with any other book, take it with a wary mind, and do not believe every single advice dished out by Kiyosaki.
Just so you know, there is a lot of controversy around the Rich Dad series, particularly after it was revealed that Kiyosaki was dishonest about many aspects of his books (there is actually no rich dad or poor dad, they were just fictional characters he invented) and also, many so-called "advices" he proposed in his books are actually borderline fraud or just plain illegal.
The other books recommended by other forumers here are great reads.
I personally enjoy "The Richest Man in Babylon", and highly recommend it.
Later, when your foundation is solid enough, you can move to more advanced books, like "The Intelligent Investor".
