Rating:  Summary: Big Disappointment Review: This is a lousy book, don't waste your hard-earned money on it. Its very poorly written, a dry and boring recitation of statistics. I've never reviewed a book before, but this one is so bad I just couldn't keep quiet. I don't even think I can finish it, I'm up to Chapter 7 and really struggling.
Rating:  Summary: Did you really read the book 1 star reviewer Review: When I read reviews like the one that precedes mine and says that this bookis just a rehash of Dr. Stanleys earlier work, I have to wonder why people post reviews who obviously never read the book.But upon checking reviews on The Millionaire Mind, I couldn't help but notice the same nonsense that The Millionaire Mind was supposedly the same as The Millionaire Next Door. And then upon reading some reviews on The Millionaire Next Door, people were comparing that book to books written by other authors. I guess the millions of copies that were sold were purchased by people who must be extremely ignorant and naive right? WRONG! DEAD WRONG! Each one of Sr. Stanleys book's are different. The fact that this book is titled Millionaire Women Next Door should be a hint that this book is different. As a female, I am glad that Dr. Stanley decided to profile the many millionaire women out there. In fact, it's past due time for the female sect to get ample recocgnition for our accomplishments. And let's not forget that it was and still is more difficult for females to move ahead in corporate America than their male counterparts, even if the females do have better skills. Fortunately, that trend is slowly changing. Men and women are different. Comparing this book to The Millionaire Next Door which profiled the men is like a doctor giving medication for male sexual disorders to a female. I am glad that Dr. Stanley wrote this book and grateful that he has given the female sect the recocnition and praise they deserve. To me, this book is an inspiration to achieve in a world dominated primarily by the male sect. Dr. Stanleys great work gives hope and purpose for females who feel overshadowed by the men. It also shows that female gender can kick butt in the business and financial world and in many cases, far outperform men. Millionaire Women shows the mental makeup as well as other factors that enabled females to achieve great financial success. Dr. Stanley, I applaud you for this work. 1 star reviewer, try reading the book before writing a review and get a life!
Rating:  Summary: weak Review: While I loved the millionaire next and was eagerly anticipating this release I had a strong sense while reading this book that perhaps the author was under the gun to meet a deadline. What could he ever have possibly been thinking to dedicate a whole chapter to a man with dyslexia (perhaps in the author's mind a handicapped man somehow equals a woman...Argggh!) Even more disappointing were the many charts regarding small business opportunities. In my opinion, they would have had much more pertinence to the reader-(and the supposed subject matter of the book) if they were WOMAN OWNED businesses. There are some interesting cases but all and all I was not impressed for the above reasons.
Rating:  Summary: Eye Opener! Review: Wow! What a great book! No, I'm not a millionaire woman, not even close. But I certainly learned WHY, and that there is a millionaire woman in me, in all of us, if we choose it and pursue it. Women see their personality in this book, or their ex-husband's, or their parents, or their children, possibly all of the above. It should definitely open a dialogue between mothers and their sons and daughters, if we want to raise future generations of happy, well adjusted, young women and men.
