"This book was probably the most effective at getting me to change my perspective on wealth, personal finance, and the way I view the world. I am so grateful to Dr. I who lit a fire under my bum to get cracking on budgeting and fixing my unhealthy view on wealth and money. If you think you are going to be a millionaire, or even if you would just like to be one, you won't understand how to get there until you read this book. Very few of America's millionaires are rap artists and professional athletes. Most of them got there by hard work and a whole lot of sacrifice. Not what you wanted to hear? Saving your money and driving a used car doesn't have a lot of sex appeal but it makes you financially independent and what could be sexier than that?"

— Peter (5 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “The Millionaire Mind is a very good book that deserves to be well read.”

    — Wall Street Journal
  • “After surveying over a thousand rich folk in The Millionaire Mind, Stanley tells us that the typical millionaire had an average GPA and frugal spending habits—but good interpersonal skills.”

    — Entertainment Weekly
  • “Besides offering insights into millionaires’ pinchpenny ways, Stanley’s book booms with human-potential peptalk and bristles with anecdotes—for example, about a bus driver who made $3 million, a doctore (reporting that his training gave him zero people skills) who lost $1.5 million, and a loser scholar in the bottom 10 percent on six GRE scores who grew up to be Martin Luther King, Jr. Read it and you’ll feel like a million bucks.”

    — Amazon.com, editorial review
  • “Ideas bigger than the next buck.”

    — Orlando Sentinel

    " If you want to become a millionaire, you should buy a Ford Taurus, shop at JCPenney, live in a small, old house and put your money in a savings account or under a mattress... "

    " I've read this book twice now. It amazed me both times although it is a bit clinical and boring at times. What people don't know about the rich is exactly what keeps them from being rich. Most people in America think being rich means driving a fancy car and wearing expensive clothes. What a joke. That explains why our country is bankrupt morally and financially. This should be required reading for Congress. "

    " Interesting reading. Pretty much sums it up that if you want to be wealthy, you have to live a frugal lifestyle and live well below your means. Then you need to take the money you Dave and invest it wisely. You should be actively involved in your investing decisions and find good financial and legal service people to advise you. Will do! Maybe someday I will be the millionaire next door. "
