The Millionaire Mind

Unlock the surprising traits and habits that fuel real wealth--not flashy lifestyles. Based on deep research into how self-made millionaires think, work, and live, this book shatters myths about success and outlines a roadmap for building lasting financial freedom through mindset, discipline, and smart choices. After its first publication, Dr. Thomas J. Stanley's second best-seller, The Millionaire Mind, spent over four months on The New York Times' bestseller list, rising to position #2, and has sold over half a million copies. Here is the first paperback edition of Stanley's second groundbreaking study of America's wealthy. The Millionaire Mind explores a population of millionaires who have accumulated substantial wealth and live in ways that openly demonstrate their affluence. Studying the ideas, beliefs, and behaviors that enabled these millionaires to build and maintain their fortunes, Dr. Stanley provides a fascinating look at who America's financial elite are and how they got there: What were their school days like? How did they respond to negative criticism? What are the characteristics of the millionaire's spouse? Is religion an important part of their lives? The author uncovers the surprising answers to these and similar questions, showing readers through concrete examples just what it is that makes the wealthy prosper when others would turn away dejected or beaten. The Millionaire Mind is the logical follow-up to The Millionaire Next Door. Written in Dr. Stanley's signature approachable and anecdotal style, it answers universal questions with solid statistical evidence. An insightful, thought-provoking book for entrepreneurial minds and anyone looking to better understand the truly affluent, change their own mindset around finances and lifestyle, and set themselves up for success.
