The Millionaire Mind. By Thomas J. Stanley


I read The Millionaire Next Door a couple of year ago.  I enjoyed it so much, I picked up the next book.  If the millionaire next door told us what millionaires do, ie frugality,  The Millionaire Mind gives a sneak peak into the mindset of a millionaire.  Dr. Stanley seeks to answer many questions: What success factor made them wealthy in 1 generation?  What part did luck and school grades play?  How did they find there ideal vocations? How did they find the courage to take financial risks?  what are their spouses like and how did they choose them?  How do they run their households?  How do they bury and sell their homes?  What are their favorite leisure activities?  This book helps get inside the head and though patterns of millionaires.  We aren't talking about Hollywood millionaires or lottery winners, but first generation, hard working millionaires.  Honest work and many times doing jobs that other people over looked or thought were just  plain unattractive are what helped these people become millionaires.  This was a common sense guide into the mind of successful people.  I would recommend this book anyone looking to better themselves.
