Good but can't beat The Millionaire Next Door

The Millionaire Next Door is my favorite book of all time. While I enjoyed this followup to it, it was not as profound as the original. It seemed to focus on multimillionaire behavior rather than millionaire behavior which I couldn't relate to as well and seemed very far out of reach. Cotter Smith's performance was excellent.

Not what we thought about the financial elite!

Full of many gems and insights inside the mind of the modern wealthy. I highly recommend.

Lessons Learned knowledge gate

When you start this book you are beginning an adventure that opens your mind to the power of being a servant towards other's ideas and existence all around. Take the time to read this book and learn a vast amount

STAY POOR by OPPOSING everything in this book!

I wish I read this book when I was sixteen or at least I wish I had listened to my parents ;) !

If you plan to be rich in the future then make sure you read this today!

This book is a product of intensive research on more than 700 affluent millionaires in America. The author has intensive experience in the field as it is his life's long work. He is very insightful and shares so many insights, such as:

How they made their money and how they invest it? Do they own so much stuff?
What were their academic performance in high school and college?
Who do they marry, do they have kids?
How much do they spend for leisure and what are their priorities in life?

You would be surprised to know the answers because having a millionaire mindset is not what you see in Hollywood, but a rather more meaningful lifestyle.

Great companion book for the millionaire next door

I liked this book but, it wasn't as eye opening as the millionaire next door but I believe it's a good companion book to it. I would recommend reading that book first and then read this one to understand the mindset.

The real face of Millionaries

Good read, but a little dated...

I liked Dr. Stanley’s Millionaire Next Door, so I decided to read this work as well. I think parts are fascinating, but he gets a little too far in the weeds when he talks about buying habits with regard to shoes and furniture.

I want everyone I know to listen to this book.

The title, although perfectly accurate, may make many people take a pass on it because they wouldn't want to read a book about millionaires. However, this book isn't so much about millionaires as it is about people. Very ordinary people who share similar traits that eventually and after many years of applying these traits, results in an accumulation of true wealth.
Extremely well researched and written. It is not written about dry and boring statistics, but filled with stories of people with similar traits that are gleaned from a lifetime of research and data gathering.
Cotter's narration is engaging and entertaining. No disappointments. Cotter delivers and makes the book even better.

Excellent

One of my top three favorite books now!!!!!! I enjoyed every minute of the book.

Long but worth the effort

Principles taught are not entirely unique to this genre. The science behind it is. By surveying millionaires, a formula appears for success.
