"The #1 book that changed my life."
- Sam Parr, entrepreneur, podcaster, and the founder of The Hustle
Uncover the secret to incredible wealth with practical advice from self-made millionaire Felix Dennis.
Felix Dennis was 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 his magnum opus—and it is not like any personal finance or self-help book you’ve ever read. Dennis isn’t selling snake oil, investment tips, or motivational nonsense. He instead asks a simple question: are you young, desperate, and hungry enough to do whatever it takes to get rich? If not, this book might not be for you. That’s fine! But if so…
This is a book of lessons in business, learned the hard way so you don’t have to. Dennis shares key insights and mindset shifts on the journey to getting very rich, including:
- Compulsion for money is mandatory.
- Cut loose from negative influences. Never give in.
- Ignore "great ideas." Concentrate on great execution.
- Keep your eye on the ball marked “The Money is Here.”
- Hire talent smarter than you. Delegate.
- Ownership is what really matters.
- Sell before you need to, or when you’re bored.
- Fear nothing and no one.
Witty, true, and often hilarious, How to Get Rich is the only really honest guide for making gobs of money. Are you willing to do what it takes?
