The Millionaire Mind Author:Thomas J. Stanley Building on his research from the best-selling "The Millionaire Next Door", Stanley delves further into the psyche of the American millionaire with this study of how people--a bus driver, a textile entrepreneur, a Fortune 500 CEO--adopted the millionaire mindset to become financially independent.
Based on a professor's research of interviews with millionaires. He shares the types of personality and other traits they share. There are charts and there is much good information. Good read!
This book describes the mindset and habits of millionaires in further detail. Interesting, but slow moving. This is a deep read like a textbook. Good for those serious about getting ahead financially but not for those interested in something light or a fast read.
Some very interesting ideas but also a LOT of inconsistencies.
Example: p 355 "...the average value of the American millionaire's home is estimated to be $277,640." p364 "Their homes, on average, are worth $1.4 million." The author also cannot seem to make up his mind whether or not they live in "many of the better-quality neighborhoods" (The Millionaire Mind p 364) areas or "do not live in upscale neighborhoods" (The Millionaire Next Door p1)...amongst others.
The stories will definitely show you that you can be a success in many things that you never thought could create a great business. You don't have to be a straight A student and have a genius IQ to end up a millionaire and you don't have to devote every waking hour to the persuit of money to be financially stable, but its definitely not a "how-to" book.
