Synopsis

Uncover the secret to financial success with advice from self-made millionaire Felix Dennis.

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.”

About The Author

Felix Dennis was the chairman of Dennis Publishing, which publishes The Week among many other magazines. He was the founder of Maxim, one of the most successful new magazines of the last decade. He wrote several volumes of poetry that have been performed live onstage by the Royal Shakespeare Company. His other interests included breeding rare pigs, drinking French wine, collecting first edition books, and avoiding business meetings. He had homes in London, Stratford-upon-Avon, New York City, Connecticut, and the Caribbean island of Mustique.

Goodreads review by Lena on January 26, 2012

I don't have much interest in "How to get rich" books, in part because they are so often written by people who a.) overestimate the skill and underestimate the luck that brought them their own success or b.) made more money writing books telling people how to get rich than they ever did at whatever......more

Goodreads review by Tim on August 16, 2008

This is a book that I am going to pass straight on to my seventeen year old son, not because of its insights into business (although it rings true on that account) but because of its insights into human nature and into the world 'out there' that he is going to have to negotiate in the coming years.......more

Goodreads review by Robert on June 09, 2017

A book that I read twice before starting my own business (now valued at $180M). It is a must read for anyone ever seriously considering starting their own business. Looking back I can clearly see just how much I took away from Felix's story. He helped me manage my expectations for becoming rich and......more

Goodreads review by Bartłomiej on November 06, 2024

This is probably the best book about making money I've ever read. If I had to choose only one adjective describing "How to Get Rich" it would be "full-blooded". I had read a couple of similar books in the past. Most of them had the same significant defect - the book itself was a "making money product......more
