Publisher's summary

The runaway best seller The Millionaire Next Door told us who America's wealthy really are. The Millionaire Mind tells how they got there, and how to become one of them. In this audio program, you'll discover the surprising answers to questions such as: what success factors made them wealthy in one generation; what part did luck and school grades play; how do they find the courage to take financial risks; how did they find their 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; and what are their favorite leisure activities. To become a millionaire you have to think like one. The Millionaire Mind tells you how.

Redefines a lot of “conventional wisdom”

This book does a great job explaining the action and lifestyles of actual millionaires. I believe that this book is very effective in changing perspectives. Using actual data from a pool of Millionaires is what allows the points made in the book to really hold weight.

Dr. Thomas Stanley delivers an excellent book.

Having this book on audio, along with the Millionaire Next Door, I have listened to these books several times. The two book help me to understand who the wealthy are, how they think, and how to develop the traits to become wealthy myself.

Enjoyed it as much as the predecessor

I read The Millionaire Next Door when it originally came out but never got around to reading this one until now. I am sorry I waited so long because I really enjoyed it. The point of view of the book is very different from other typical finance books but I found it much more rewarding. It lays out big picture thinking instead of small tactical moves, and it shows how the majority of millionaires are really not who you think they are. If you’ve ever heard the saying “All hat, no cattle” you’ll know what I mean. I give this book my strongest recommendation.

Great listen

I’m a 90s baby and the millionaire next door change my life. If you love the millionaire next door you need to listen to this book. Great sequel of course you can’t top the first book but look at it as a great extension of the original master piece.

Great Book

Narrator was very good and Iearned se etal new things. We worth the time to listen.

Slow but a good read

The tempo was a tad bit slow but, the overall story was useful. It is about the lifestyle and how millionaires are created which was insightful.

valuable insight into success.

very easy to listen to and follow along.
helped to formulate personal goals and ideals into improving finances as well as provide reassurance that it can always get better.
offered insights into those who do well versus those who appear to do well, and indicates that it's not always about looks. listened 3 times, and will listen again.

Still the Best

I read this book at least once per year, and every year I come out thinking that this is the best book!

This is a Must listen!

Everyone whose aim it is to build wealth, should listen to this book. The teachings are immutable and should be passed down to generations. It can act as a guide to millionaire status, especially if you’re on the cusp, just filled with ideas. This book will help you set clear goals for yourself and your future.

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.
