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".

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.

Best narration ever!

This book is hilarious and the narrator is absolutely perfect for the job! So much that I'll seek out his work.

Fantastic book

The book is written extremely well and a pleasure to listen to. The book isn’t a self help book and those looking for one aren’t going to find it. It’s a more personal introspection and reflection of man that made a lot of money.

Please save your credit

I can’t believe I wasted even an hour skipping through this book trying to find a chapter that wasn’t full of trite repetitive BS, or self-indulgent poetry. How could the author not have an interesting specific anecdote or two for every chapter. He keeps alluding to interesting stories in his life but never tells them. Save your credit.

Don’t waste your time

This was cringey to listen to. I made it through two chapters hoping it would get better. It didn’t.

Better than title suggests

I don’t like the title.

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

Corny and basic

Unless you’re brand new to the idea of building businesses skip this. Plus, you have to listen to all this annoying, grandpa-like colloquialism as if you’re a child sitting on grandpa’s knee. I only got this bc shockingly the guy from The Hustle said it was great but I don’t know wtf he was smoking when he said that.
