This book is a combination of Think and Grow Rich, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, and Unleash the Power Within in 365 aphorisms.

The aphorisms are divided into twelve subject areas from Integrity through Leadership. You will pass Relationships, Credibility, and Money along the way. About 95 percent of them are pertinent.

The ones that are off the wall almost provide comic relief. I never did figure out why having a chiropractor work on you spine was critical to your having integrity. And I swear by my chiropractor!

I may sound like a nit-picker, but there isn't too much in the book that will actually turn you into a millionaire in the narrow sense. It won't show you how to pick a stock, start up the next Amazon.com, or be a great real estate investor. Basically, the book's premise is that with your very positive, opportunity-seeking, desirable self you'll bump into enough to have that million rub off on you. If you feel comfortable with that approach, by all means buy, read and enjoy the book. If you want more focused advice, go elsewhere.

Good luck with your search for that first million, however you decide to pursue it!

I found 365 Ways To Become A Millionaire... to be an excellent source of information. Koslow's book is as much about financial gain as it is about committment,responsibility,credibility & trust. I found the chapter on negotiation to be especially powerful. Koslow's style & enlightening insights make this book a must read for those looking for personal & professional growth.

As a business consultant for healthcare professionals, I found this handy book filled with practical information that anyone in business today would value as a resource. Reviewing one section a day will improve your outlook and focus. Often insightful and at times inspirational, this book makes great reading for those who are interested in applying the principles of leadership, teamwork and integrity that result in financial reward.

The 365 valuable insights that the author writes about was a terrific format that I could easily relate to. I got incredibly motivated by this book. After reading the book and giving it some thought, I finally decided to stop making excuses. This book got my engine started.

The book contains 365 one to two sentence tidbits on the attitudes and philosophies of the millionaire mentality. Inspirational-yes, practical-no. Even the shape of the book is annoying- a six inch square. Don't clog your library with this book.

Misleading title. There is absolutely NOTHING in this book in regards to ways to become a millionare. It is 365 one or two sentence inspirational quips. The author/editor/publisher ought to be ashamed. I would rate it less than zero stars if possible. Stay away from this one if you think you will find ways to become a millionaire.

I like this book. It hits home with folksy ideas that have been lost over the generations. This is the kind of book that everyone ought to read, to become a better person. It has a lot of wisdom shared with the reader. This is a great stocking-stuffer! Thanks.

Although this book is interesting, it is not about becoming a millionaire; it is about how to live your life. It offers 365 bits of advice for living. Following the book's advise would be unlikely to result in the reader becoming a millionaire.

CHEAP! CHEAP! CHEAP! The price of the book that is. The information is PriceLess. Yes, the title will catch your attention, but the content will keep you turning the pages over and over on a daily basis.

It is a good thing, I did not do my normal - pick up a highlighter. With the exception of 224 and 225, the entire book would be HOT PINK.

This is a book on how to be a better you. Everything begins from within. Begin from within - your wallet. Buy the book!

Even though this book is a Wall Street Journal bestseller and has been published in 5 languages, I am reluctant to give it 5 stars because, after reading it twice cover to cover, it looks more like a "business checklists" rather than a "millionaire course". Besides, its title in my humble view is false and misleading. It does not contain even one way to become a millionaire. Instead of calling it "365 Ways to Become a Millionaire (Without Being Born One)", it should have been called "365 Ways to Become a More Effective Executive". In any case, Brian Koslow, the author of the book, became a millionaire by the time he reached 31 years old. In this book, he gives 12 guidelines divided into 365 checklists such as: (1). Confidence and certainty will get you farther than anything else will; (2). You will lose personal power in the present without a clear vision for the future; (3). The best way to negotiate a good deal is to have the ability to walk away from it; and (4). The bigger your purpose, the more vitality you will have at the end of the day. I agree with the author that this book will create breakthrough results in all areas of your life and give you the tools you need to achieve your business goals. Dr Jusuf Hariman.
