Good Advice

The book is very interesting and applicable to everyday activities. In the beginning of this book, I had the ?so what? attitude, due to the author quoting various, non meaningful and statistics. The book tends to start off slow with some common sense items and picks up with some great advice and insight. I found a lot of the advice given by the author is meaningful and can be applied in everyday activities. My wife and I are changed by this book and the way that we go about conducting our financial business and discourse. Needless to say we liked the book so much, we now listening to it a second time. This book is different definitely one for the library and to continually to refer to as you progress life.

Interesting But not as Good as the First Book

What did you love best about The Millionaire Mind?

I loved the information that was brought by use of research and brining information about millionaires not by opinion but by information that was collected and brought to the readers attention which allowed the reader the opportunity to take the information and decide if any changes in the reader's life should be altered if the reader is seeking to be a millionaire.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Millionaire Mind?

I like the point that was brought up about millionaires looking at long term cost as opposed to up-front cost. Take into account issues like how much time would it take me to learn to work on a house, cost of buying a water heater, the type of water heater, in comparison to hiring someone else and using my time to make more money. I have recently implemented more of these types of allocating time and money to others performing more of my work to allow me to do other activities.

What about Cotter Smith’s performance did you like?

I think he's a great narrator and does not bore me like many others have.

mostly more of the same good stuff

more of the same great material. excellent reinforcement of the behaviors, attitudes, and habits that lead to wealth building. a great listen for the commute.

Good, but

What did you love best about The Millionaire Mind?

It offers some pretty good advise, but I found it often repeated itself over and over. Not like a record skipping. Same information/advise was given in different manners.

Great book, I loved it all the way but .....

Very well structured and engaging contents.
I just felt that towards the end of it there were too many real estate facts for my taste. I would recommend it though.

I’m glad I read this book

This book totally changed my whole mind set. It turned me to new person. The stories are breathtaking !!

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.
