The Millionaire Mind by: Thomas J. Stanley
Who is the average millionaire? Does he eat gourmet or fast food? Does he drive fancy cars, take chic vacations, and indulge wherever and whenever he can? Or does he resole his shoes, turn off the air conditioning when he leaves the house, and spend a lot of time at home with close friends and family? Through his surveys of over 1,000 millionaires, Thomas J Stanley, Ph.D., answers these questions and provides us with further insight into the thoughts and lives of this wealthy segment of the population in the Millionaire Mind.
A follow-up to Stanley's New York Times bestseller, The Millionaire Next Door, The Millionaire Mind may surprise readers with its findings about the kinds of people that millionaires really are. Interestingly, Many Millionaires were not straight-A students in high school, nor did they attend prestigious colleges. Instead, they were often told when they were younger that they were not bright and that they would not be successful. These challenges taught them how to surmount obstacles and motivated them to try harder and to take risks to get ahead financially.

Five Lessons a Millionaire Taught Me: About Life and Wealth by: Richard Paul Evans
When I was 12-years-old my father, a building contractor, fell through a stairwell shattering the bones in both of his legs. He was out of work for more than a year. To make matters worse we had no disability or health insurance. Our family of ten was destitute. We moved into a three-bedroom duplex. I slept on the floor for two years. At this time something happened that changed my life. A kindly multi-millionaire invited all the youth in the area to the local church. He wanted to teach us the five lessons of wealth. As you can imagine I attended his talk and listened very carefully. And those five lessons changed my life. By the age of sixteen I bought my own car and paid most of my own expenses. By nineteen I paid for my own church mission and college. By the age of thirty-one I paid off my home. Now, in addition to helping my family, I have been able to help thousands of abused children around the world. Thousands of lives have been affected because I learned those five lessons. Now I want to share them with you.
