In 1999, he published "The Millionaire Mind," which explored America's financial elite and how they became so. "The Millionaire Mind" has sold 750,000 copies.

Overview

The Millionaire Next Door was Tom Stanley's runaway bestseller, revealing to the world a most unexpected picture of America's millionaires. The Millionaire Mind is the more thoughtful and insightful look into the psychology of millionaires, the 'soft' factors in terms of attitudes and beliefs that have made these people so successful.

The research base was broadened to encompass an even wealthier set of millionaires (including many 'decamillionaires'). In all, the author received 733 responses to his carefully targeted questionnaires, and the sum effect of this book is a bit like being invited into the living rooms of 733 wealthy people for a fireside chat.

The key question asked: is it possible to have a very enjoyable, balanced life but still achieve millionaire status? Stanley's surprising answer is that while money can't buy happiness, millionaires are perhaps more aware than most that the best things in life are free. Rather than, as you might expect, spending their non-working time visiting glamour spots or engaging in expensive hobbies, the great majority of millionaires prefer to spend time with family and friends. If they are not doing this they are involved in community activities or playing a round of golf. As the author suggests, most millionaires are a 'cheap date' - but are not miserly personalities.

The Five Big Ideas

“If you want to move to a higher level of life, you have to be willing to let go of some of your old ways of thinking and being and adopt new ones”.

“Having top-of-the-line tools is imperative, but being the top-notch carpenter who masterfully uses those tools is even more critical”.

“A lack of money is never, ever, ever a problem. A lack of money is merely a symptom of what is going on underneath”.

“All the statements you heard about money when you were young remain in your subconscious mind as part of the blueprint that is running your financial life”.

“Money can’t make you something you already are”.
