I doubt it. But there are some for which no more caution is needed than could be taken largely for granted with an intelligent bunch of people like the readership of Less Wrong, and some that aren’t very approachable by anyone who isn’t quite expert already. There’s no need to say “exercise caution” about those. It appears that Kiyosaki’s book is very approachable and may be very unreliable. That’s an especially dangerous combination, if true.
The classic is Andrew Tobias, “The Only Investment Guide You’ll Ever Need.” You can trust it because he’s not selling anything and teaches common-sense, conservative advice: no risky speculation or anything.
Is there any financial advisor or financial book that you can recommend without reservation and that people can take without exercising caution?

Sorry, I was attempting to be clever, cynical and hip. This apparently impeded effective communication.
Let me rephrase it so that it is more difficult to misunderstand:
All financial advice should be received with reservation and taken with caution.
Better?

Kiyosaki is nice for some mindset and basic approach, but horrible on the concrete advise. Do not go into buying houses due to his books.
My small favorite is George Clayson: the richest man in Babylon. Then there is a galore of more modern books. Check out Ramiths recommended readings.
