This was more or less my experience as well. Since then I've read hundreds of books about investing in different types of ventures. Most of them had a least something to offer. For pure investing information, RDPD is not he book to read. But RDPD, and the Cashflow Quadrant specifically for me, was the book that changed by thinking about money the most drastically.
Kyosaki is an arrogant prick and the RDPD series is, overall, terrible for investing advice. But I still recommend it heartily to anyone interested in the possbility of having a full life without the burden of employment.
I don't send people to RDPD for investing advice. I send them there so they can begin to understand what I think is the most important aspect of investing. That is that investing is a way to leverage your time. Investing allows you to make money without working, or at least, work once and get paid for it for a long time.
