Review
For my taste, this tiny, elegantly crafted book giving us insights into the entrepreneurial mind set could have been longer. I would have liked information of a more detailed nature about the successful start-ups of these two millionaire authors. I wish this had been the rousing introduction to a long, fact-filled book providing juicy details of these authors' ventures. I'd like to read the sequel to this book, if it's the "inside scoop" on exactly how they got to be millionaires, the pitfalls they avoided, the snares they didn't manage to escape, and so forth. However, a detailed blow-by-blow account of their entrepreneurial successes is not what Messers Fisher and Allen set out to write. Instead, they provide insight into the actual thinking and the style of thought of the self-made millionaire. It's an inspirational read, much like an adult version of The Little Engine That Could. The authors provide a pep talk and cheerleading session that attempts to challenge readers to believe in themselves as winners, and they illustrate how to eliminate some of the "I-can't-do-it" programming that may be blocking some readers from achieving full potential. Although there is nothing new in this book, its "You-can-if-you-think-you-can" philosophy of encouragement may be just what some timid would-be capitalists need to hear. This would make a nice gift for a college graduate or for someone contemplating a career change. -- From Independent Publisher

Real millionaires impart the secrets of how they made money in a title which examines success and personal experience. The two authors, millionaires and founders of visionary businesses, chart their personal paths to achievement and the lessons they learned along the way. -- Midwest Book Review --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars As a millionaire myself I can say that I DO think this way!, July 7, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Think Like a Millionaire (Hardcover)

This book is a concise exposition of the power of focused thought and visualizing success.

Have a purpose, have a plan and take action - and responsibility - and you will be a millionaire too (if that is what you want).

The book could be titled "How To Think Like a Successful Person" where YOU define what is "successful"; with that definition, success is unavoidable. (Even the homeless are successful at what they've chosen.)

The book might appear simplistic but that is so because it contains wisdom. Wisdom appears foolish to fools and obvious to wise people. The information of this book is at the level of basic truth; use it and succeed; declare that it's "too obvious to be true" and you sneer at the sunshine.

A very good book well worth its price if you consider the cost as the seed of an investment.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite book on wealth, May 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Think Like a Millionaire (Paperback)

This is my favorite book on the creation of wealth. It says nothing that hasn't been said before. Yet this book says it simply, concisely and distills what could take years to learn into a short and complete book. This is the first book I give people who ask me about money.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too simple and broad to be worthy of your time, April 2, 2008

By	Xenocrates - See all my reviews

This review is from: How to Think Like a Millionaire (Paperback)

I will inevitably experience some blowback being among the few reviewers furnishing a poor rating for this book; however, as one will note from my reviews I am far less interested in status than I am in upholding the integrity of my reviews with brutal honesty when necessary. I read a number of books every month and it is only logical there will be a portion I do not consider worthwhile of your time.

I do not advocate How to Think Like a Millionaire as the content presented is neither new nor uncommon. When searching through the near endless supply of motivational and self help achievement books, it is evident those works that offer the most benefit introduce new and profound content or inspire one to lasting action. There is nothing among the pages of this book that achieves this.

I admire any author who puts forth the time and effort in an attempt to add value; however, Fisher and Allen merely present a broad summary of some basic principles with writing that lacks any articulate qualities. I would rate this near the bottom among the hundreds of self help books I have read, and thus I do not recommend this book
