Robert attacks the very myth of common people who teaches their child to study hard, earn good grades and then join a GOOD job with secure future. He thinks that this very psychology of getting a good secure job without knowing the money management basics pushes a person into the vicious circle of working -> earning -> working -> earning. He described this as rat race and the goal of the personal money management should be to come out of this rat race.
I recommend each one of us read this book
