Book Review : How Rich People Think

​How Rich People Think is a book written by Steve Siebold who is a millionaire himself. Siebold, like you I assume, was really curious about what made rich people rich. He wanted to find out “the secret” to become rich so he interviewed 500 self-made millionaires and wrote this book to pack up all the stuff he learned.

​What is the book about ?

The book is composed of 100 chapters that are 2 to 3 pages long. The book focuses as the title explains on how rich people think. In each chapter, the author tells you how rich people think in contrast with how the middle class and poor people think.

Basically, the book will teach you 100 ways rich people think differently about money.

Here are some of the ideas you’ll find in the book :

• The middle class believes money is complicated. The wealthy believe it’s simple.
• The middle class believes getting a job is the safest way to earn money. The wealthy believe being an outstanding performer is the safest way to earn it.
• The middle class thinks about spending. The wealthy think about investing.
• The middle class thinks the rich should support the poor. The wealthy believe in self-reliance.

It can be really an eye opening experience to go through some of the ideas in the book because you probably have been conditioned to think that money is evil or that rich people are greedy and stuff like that.

Well, you’ll find out that it’s these exact mindsets that make people struggle with money because since you’re a child, you associate negative feelings with money so you never become that good with it.

​This book will give you the mindset of someone who’s a millionaire. You’ll start to think about money like rich people do.

​What’s good about the book :

​The first thing you’ll notice is that you really don’t have to make any effort to understand the book. It’s very simple to understand, has a clear language, and a really straightforward approach.

The book is also very easy to read since its chapters are short and comprehensive. The other thing that I appreciated was that with every chapter, there is an action step for you to take.

​The last thing is that it has some really good ideas. You’ll be amazed at how many wrong ideas you have about money that you taught were the truth.

​What’s not so good :

​Well, nothing in particular. The book does a good job at delivering its promise. It promises to show you how rich people think and that’s exactly what you’ll learn.

​Who is it for ?

​This book is destined to anyone who wants to become rich, anyone who wants to learn to think like rich people, and for parents who want to teach their kids a healthy way of thinking about money too.
