The Millionaire Mind

'The Millionaire Mind' has nicely satisfied my curiosity about the characteristics of the affluent people. Stanley has presented various findings of his research, which I find interesting. In some occasions, the research findings were presented in a way that inclined to the author's opinions & values, but that did not spoil the reading experience.

Dr. Stanley builds well on the statistical analysis and well thought out commentary from "The Millioniare Next Door" in this book. I think I actually enjoyed this book a bit more than the first. While the first was necessary to start the "trilogy" by establishing that most of the "1%" are well meaning individuals who became wealthy by saving & investing wisely, this book delves a bit better into the thought process. I was especially interested in the portion dealing with how millionaires look for a wife (or for the ladies, a husband). Also, the chapter about "finding your niche" was extremely enlightening. Sometimes a chapter might have dragged a bit after the point was made, but not enough of an issue to drag the material down. Again, a great job by Dr. Stanley.

The millionaire mind is an insightful guidepost to how to become a millionaire. For some it's a confirmation of their habits and for others it's a wake up call. Employ the lessons in this book and good things will come of it.

This book is basically some enlightened research paper that has very powerful implications for everyday use.
Although the data is more that 10 years old by now it is still relevant to today's realities. A real eye opener.
Recommended for small business owners or anyone else that wants to be worth more than one million dollars in the near future.

The desire and pursuit of wealth is something that is not for everyone and honestly shouldn’t be. There are far more important things than wealth and the pursuit of worldly goods but if a person chooses to make it their quest, this book is an absolute must read. It gives insight into the things people of monetary wealth value and disintegrates some of the myths and unfair characterizations that most people believe about the wealthy.
This book helped me to overcome my preconceived notions and road blocks to wealth building for my family and worthy charities I choose to support.

The Millionaire Next Door was well-written and enlightening. This book is a rehash of that book with constant repetitions of the same few conclusions the author has reached. Even at half its length, it would be overlong.

I appreciate the honesty of Thomas J. Stanley.
I'm relieved to know that abundance is within us all.
The rich are no different than the rest of us.

Okay, so I may as well join them thanks to the new understanding I have
from Stanley's book.

If you haven't read Stanley's "The Millionaire Next Door," you need to read it before reading this book. This title is an expanded, much more detailed treatment of the same subject matter Stanley covers in his former volume. The author's research is amazing, dispelling many of the myths that surround the wealthy.

If you've read "The Millionaire Next Door" and are eager for more details of the same, buy this book!

I actually bought this by mistake. I was looking for Harv Ecker's book Secrets Of The Millionaire Mind, which I liked even less.

Want to become a millionaire? Forget it if you're a single woman. Forget it if you're a man who chooses to marry a woman with dreams of her own. This book winds up being so supportive of the 'father knows best' stereotype of what leads to success that I found it annoying. This book looks for, and finds, great successful MEN who own businesses, go to church, have "supportive loving" wives and families. They turn out to be the largest group of the rich. What a surprise.
