New Releases by Thomas J. Stanley

"Por que não sou tão rico quanto deveria ser?" Muitas pessoas fazem essa pergunta a si mesmas. Muitas vezes, elas trabalham duro, são instruídas e têm renda de média a alta. Por que, então, muito poucas são ricas? Há mais de duas décadas a resposta foi encontrada no best-seller O Milionário Mora ao Lado: Os Surpreendentes Segredos dos Ricos dos Estados Unidos, reeditado com um novo prefácio para o século 21 do Dr. Thomas J. Stanley. Segundo os autores, a maioria das pessoas não entendem como é possível ficar rico nos Estados Unidos. A riqueza nesse país muitas vezes é resultado de trabalho duro, de poupança contínua e uma vida abaixo de seus ganhos, e não de herança, diplomas avançados ou mesmo inteligência. O Milionário Mora ao Lado identifica sete características comuns que aparecem repetidas vezes entre os que acumularam riqueza. Por exemplo, você aprenderá que milionários pechincham ao comprar carros usados, pagam uma minúscula fração de sua riqueza ao imposto de renda, criam filhos que geralmente só descobrem sobre a riqueza da família na idade adulta e, acima de tudo, rejeitam o estilo de vida de grandes gastos que a maioria associa às pessoas ricas. Quase todos os realmente ricos nesse país não vivem em Beverly Hills ou na Park Avenue — eles moram ao nosso lado. Stanley escreveu O Milionário Mora ao Lado, O novo milionário mora ao lado e A Mente Milionária... Juntos, esses livros passaram mais de 170 semanas na lista de best-sellers do New York Times. No total, mais de 3 milhões de exemplares foram vendidos em todo o mundo.

The Millionaire Mind targets a population of millionaires who have accumulated substantial wealth and live in ways that openly demonstrate their affluence. Exploring the ideas, beliefs, and behaviors that enabled these millionaires to build and maintain their fortunes, Dr. Stanley provides a fascinating look at who America''s financial elite are and how they got there.

A pesar de la publicación de libros como El millonario de la puerta de al lado, los mitos sobre la riqueza entre los estadounidenses siguen abundando. Funcionarios gubernamentales, periodistas y muchos estadounidenses siguen tendiendo a confundir los ingresos con la riqueza. Una nueva generación de gestores de la economía doméstica está escuchando a los llamados expertos en gestión económica personal debido a la proliferación de las empresas familiares o artesanales o los blogs, podcasts y similares de temática financiera. En muchos casos, estos canales no son más que experiencias que se comparten sin que contengan conocimientos científicos, casos prácticos sin datos basados en una población más amplia. En cambio, Tom Stanley y su hija, Sarah Stanley Fallaw, llevan más de cuatro décadas investigando cómo los estadounidenses económicamente exitosos y hechos a sí mismos llegan a serlo. Veinte años después de la primera edición de El millonario de la puerta de al lado, los autores decidieron echar otro vistazo a los millonarios estadounidenses para investigar qué cambios podrían apreciarse en ese lapso de tiempo. En este libro, los autores destacan cómo decisiones, comportamientos y características concretos se alían con la disciplina de la creación de riqueza, cubriendo áreas como el consumo, la elaboración de presupuestos, la profesión, las inversiones y la gestión económica en general. Incluyen resultados procedentes de estudios cuantitativos sobre la riqueza, además de casos prácticos de personas que han tenido éxito en la acumulación de riqueza. Hablan sobre caminos generales para crear riqueza por tu cuenta, centrándose específicamente en carreras profesionales y estilos de vida relacionados con cada senda y qué es lo que hace falta para tener éxito en cada una de ellas.

Simplified Chinese edition of The Next Millionaire Next Door: Enduring Strategies for Building Wealth

Over the past 40 years, Tom Stanley and his daughter Sarah Stanley Fallaw have been involved in research examining how self-made, economically successful Americans became that way. Despite the publication of The Millionaire Next Door, The Millionaire Mind, and others, myths about wealth in American still abound. Government officials, journalists, and many American still tend to confuse income with wealth. A new generation of household financial managers are hearing from so-called experts in personal financial management due to the proliferation of the cottage industry of financial blogs, podcasts, and the like. In many cases, these outlets are simply experiences shared without science, case studies without data based on broader populations. Therefore, the authors decided to take another look at millionaires in the United States to examine what changes could be seen 20 years after the original publication of The Millionaire Next Door. In this book the authors highlight how specific decisions, behaviors, and characteristics align with the discipline of wealth building, covering areas such as consumption, budgeting, careers, investing, and financial management in general. They include results from quantitative studies of wealth as well as case studies of individuals who have been successful in building wealth. They discuss general paths to building wealth on your own, focusing specifically on careers and lifestyles associated with each path, and what it takes to be successful in each.

"¿Por qué no soy tan rico como debería?". Son muchas las personas que se hacen esta pregunta. Pero la mayoría de la gente tiene una idea errónea de cómo llegar a ser rico: los auténticos millonarios regatean el precio de coches de segunda mano; pagan impuestos bajos; crían unos hijos que, con frecuencia, ignoran que pertenecen a una familia adinerada hasta llegar a la edad adulta; y, sobre todo, rechazan llevar el estilo de vida de gran consumo que muchos asociamos a la gente rica. Gran parte de los millonarios norteamericanos no vive en Beverly Hills o en Park Avenue; es gente que vive junto a ti, en la puerta de al lado. En un estudio de más de 1000 millonarios del mundo entero los autores descubren las claves para alcanzar la riqueza.

Con la crisis financiera, el alto índice de desempleo y los créditos a reventar, usted debe estar preguntándose: “¿Quién querrá pretender que es rico?” Escasamente vivimos mes a mes. Cualquiera diría que nuestro tiempo de escases ha pasado, que las deudas están bajo control y que estamos comenzando a ahorrar nuevamente. Pero la realidad es que, no solamente somos consumidores que difícilmente comprendemos el concepto de frugalidad, sino que además somos grandes consumidores de marcas costosas y elitistas, y lo hacemos en un intento por imitar a la gente famosa que vemos en la televisión, las revistas y por las calles. La recesión nos ha llevado a tomar un respiro, pero toda indica que volveremos al punto en el que estábamos cuando los vientos económicos soplen nuevamente a nuestro favor. Antes que usted gaste un centavo más, lea este libro y vea la diferencia entre volverse millonario y actuar como si lo fuera. Viva como un verdadero millonario le aclarará toda idea confusa e inexacta que usted tenga acerca de la gente adinerada: dónde compran, qué compran, y lo más impactante de todo, dónde viven (no es donde usted piensa). --
