The book first contrasts the author's biological father—a well-educated official with a stable income and a PhD—with his entrepreneurial father, who dropped out of high school but was financially savvy.
Their views on money and values are sharply different. The biological father holds traditional beliefs, viewing frugality and stable income as the sources of wealth, while the entrepreneurial father believes that active investment and asset accumulation are the keys to becoming wealthy.
The book then elaborates on the lessons the author learned from his entrepreneurial father in two aspects: first, wealthy individuals do not work for money; instead, they invest their time and energy in areas that create assets.
The emphasis is on overcoming fear and desire to pursue personal growth, rather than falling into the "rat race" trap.
Second, it is essential to distinguish between assets and liabilities, continually purchasing assets instead of pursuing short-term consumption.
Through the author's personal experiences and several typical cases, the article illustrates how traditional views on money can hinder people from achieving financial freedom and how a correct perspective on money can help individuals escape difficulties and ultimately attain financial independence.
