I first became familiar with his books about 1992 when he was still a professor of Marketing at Georgia State. He had written three books about Marketing and selling to the Affluent. I re-read those books often to help me market my businesses.

He then turend his attention to studying the Affluent themesleves and wrote the best seller "The Millioniare Mind", with several follow up books. He was working on updated book with his daughter at the time of his death.

I highly reccomend reading all of his books as they are based on surveys and interviews of millionaires, and his first three are interviews of people who market to the affluent. All very insightful books.
