About this listen

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".

Best book on the subject of getting rich.

I've read many books on the subject of getting rich, this is the only one that's ever inspired me to action. Having said that it almost encourages you not to get rich, and somehow shows you that there are better, more meaningful things to do in life. Anyways I found this book inspiring, fulfilling and entertaining!

Mind Blown. 🤯 It's a masterpiece.

The man is a poet and my God does not show. This was like a soothing and demystifying walk through the meadow of Entrepreneurship.

Brimming with actionable insights and delight. Expertly crafted with wit, humour and sincerity.

Most business books, especially books on getting rich or wealth are little more than woo bullshit regurgitated to make you feel good, by coaches and people who have never themselves built a successful business outside of writing about it.

This book, is the polar opposite.

Get it. Get it Now. 🔥

Brilliant, Witty, Engaging and Practical

Terrible title but it gets your attention. Thankfully the rest of the book is unlike any other 'self help' book. Its raw, real and practical. If you've run a business or been in business so much resonates and reinvigorates. Even if you're not trying to get rich. Very worth a listen,.

Insightful and entertaining

The man tells you how to get rich from a series of personal anecdotes collected over the years as he made his own fortune.
This super rich author is clearly not writing this book for the money! He's already got plenty. Sounds like a passion project that kept him busy in retirement as he takes us down his memory lane while sharing tips and key concept that worked for him in accumulating a massive wealth. VERY GOOD STUFF!
But keep in mind this man made his fortunes in print media and publishing magazines... Not the most topical industry to get into today, but one can definitely learn a lot from his mindset and approach to things.

Better than title suggests

I don’t like the title.

Content is second to none. One of my favourite business books now.
