The Millionaire Mind

by Thomas J. Stanley

Book Overview

In his first best-seller, Dr. Thomas J. Stanley shattered one of contemporary America's most firmly held myths: That wealthy individuals belong to an elite group of the highly educated and exceedingly lucky who often inherit their money and spend it on lavish purchases and pampered lifestyles.

Customer Reviews

Lives up to the title 100%

WOW! Such a great read. I was also curious about the life of millionaires and how they got to where they are successfully (in the financial sense). It's a little bit longer than the normal book I've been reading and the font is a little smaller but the information is solid. If you're a business owner or entrepreneur I believe this will serve you well. If you're a regular person and looking for some ways to change your life, this is also for you. This gives you a better perspective on how to think as a millionaire would. If you're a D student, this book is for you 100%! Worth many times the asking price.

Excellent tape set

The Millionaire Mind is a great program to jump start your financial life. This is an excellent tape set by Stanley. Listen and learn.

Awesome Book! Well researched

This great followup to the run-away best seller "The Millionaire Next Door" tells us how millionaires became millionaires. In "The Millionaire Mind", Dr. Thomas Stanley tells us how America's wealthy got there and perhaps even more importantly, how you can become one of them.In "The Millionaire Mind" you will discover answers to questions like:*** What success factor made them wealthy in 1 generation?*** What part did luck and school grades play?*** How do they find the courage to take financial risks?*** How did they find they ideal vocations?*** What are their spouses like and how did they choose them?*** How do they run their households?*** How do they buy and sell their homes?*** What are their favorite leisure activities?"The Millionaire Mind" is a awesome book. To become a millionaire you have to think like one. This book tells you how.I also recommend "SuperSelf" by Charles Givens and "The 7 Habitsof Highly Effective People" by Dr. Covey to further enrich your life with positive proven strategies.

A peek into the minds of Millionaires

While "The Millionaire Next Door" showed us what the Millionaires do RE: Frugality. "The Millionaire Mind" let's us peek into the mindset that makes a Millionaire.I can't say that I enjoy this book more or less than "The Millionaire Next Door" and don't understand some reviewers who try to make comparisons. It's more like apples and oranges. The books are different and intended to be as companions, not in place of the other.I would recommend reading "The Millionaire Next Door" first though or at least in addition to "The Millionaire Mind."Dr. Stanley, excellent book and I am looking forward to your next foray.

Better than Millionaire Next Door!

I felth that Millionaire Mind went into more depth of what it really takes to become a millionaire. Topics lke success factors, vocations, how they buy and sell houses, leisure activities and even how they chose their spouses.Good bok and definitely a must read for anyone who wants to be a millionaire or at least financially independent.
