Publisher's summary

Felix Dennis is an expert at proving people wrong. Starting as a college dropout with no family money, he created a publishing empire, founded Maxim magazine, made himself one of the richest people in the UK, and had a blast in the process.

How to Get Rich is different from any other book on the subject because Dennis isn't selling snake oil, investment tips, or motivational claptrap. He merely wants to help people embrace entrepreneurship and to share lessons he learned the hard way. He reveals, for example, why a regular paycheck is like crack cocaine; why great ideas are vastly overrated; and why "ownership isn't the important thing, it's the only thing".

Something that should be read once a year.

Insightful, entertaining and a book I would recommend to those seeking to evaluate their own processes in the journey of getting rich.

This is a fun listen-

Even if you care nothing about business or money…This storyline and narration is extremely entertaining. Too many great books out there are terrible to listen to on audio. Not this one-

Excellent book!

I really enjoyed Felix’s humorous but useful tips on money and life. This is by no means your typical “get rich quick” or “see it and achieve it” motivational book. It’s a practical book by one who attained great wealth from very humble beginnings. He warns the reader about the perils of wealth, and against the mistake of thinking that money can bring happiness. If that is not enough to dissuade you, he then delves into practical and actionable steps that one can take to get rich if the stars align. All this delivered in a light hearted style. After all, of you cannot view the acquisition of money as nothing but a game, you are unlikely to have the psychological make-up to be rich.

All in all it’s a motivating, practical and eye opening read. I am sure I will be returning to as I continue my own journey as an entrepreneur
