Robert Kiyosaki argues schools punish mistakes and call cooperation cheating, when real learning requires falling down. He compares education to a baby learning to walk: growth comes from trial and error, not risk-averse classrooms.

Chapters

If you want to be rich and happy, don't go to school because schools teach you things to be not successful. And the biggest one is they punish you for making mistakes. Well, a baby cannot learn to walk unless a baby falls down. If a kid went to school to learn how to walk, a baby, they'd never walk because they'd punish. Oh, you fell. Bad boy. Bad kid. Bad kid. You fall off your bike. Bad, bad, bad. And most school teachers are poor because they're afraid of making mistakes. God created us to learn by making mistakes, but our schools punish you for making mistakes. The second big mistake schools do is if you cooperate, it's called cheating.
