Product Description:
An outspoken entrepreneurial dynamo reveals the secrets behind his self-made fortune
Starting as a college dropout with no family money, Felix Dennis made himself the sixty-fifth richest individual in the U.K. And had a blast in the process.
How to Get Rich, his #1 British bestseller, is different from any other book on the subject because Dennis isn’t selling snake oil, investment tips, or motivational claptrap. Having already made his fortune, he merely wants to help readers embrace entrepreneurship—and learn from his successes and failures.
Dennis reveals, for example, why a regular paycheck is like crack cocaine; why being young, penniless, and inexperienced is a fine combination; why great ideas are vastly overrated; and why “ownership isn’t the important thing, it’s the only thing.”
Part naked memoir, part contrarian manual, this book is invaluable for anyone willing to stare down failure and take a chance on not just getting rich, but very rich indeed!
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Excellent
Felix Dennis is unique in that he does not necessarily fit the any stereotypical mold for a borderline billionaire. He is obviously a great writer in addition to owning a grip of publications. I enjoyed how he related his desires to sing as a musician when he was younger(his story about John Lennon telling him he had no original voice)... etc.
He makes an effort to show an objective unbiased picture of what it takes to get rich, why to get rich, and his own character.

Rating:  - No BS, just execellent advices on running and growing a business.
There are no 12 step programs or sure-fire systems to guide you here. This is a pure and simple stream of consciousness and recollections from a great Entrepreneur in the business world. If you dislike business books or other great "Get Rich Now" books then this should be the book to read. It presents the simple facts and the difficulties involved in launching any enterprise and even a few tidbits on the legal structures involved. A great read for the week.
Rating: - How to Get Rich: review by Jon Gillespie-Brown, Author "So you want to be an entrepreneur"
I have just finished a very interesting book by Felix Dennis, called "How to get rich". He calls it, and I agree with him, an anti-self help book. It's a book about what its really like to get rich and how to do it.
I don't agree with everything Felix says, especially in my field of work in IT, about how to grow and build a business to make real wealth - mainly the part where he insists you own 100% of your business. In my case this is a practical impossibility unless you are very ... Read More
Rating: - A great read!Fun, witty, and it just might make you rich!
Really enjoyed this book from start to finish!You get the real deal from Felix, good and bad, about the pursuit of wealth.He really makes you think about what you want, and what you're willing to sacrifice to get it.Not a rah-rah self-help book, or a get rich quick book; rather a series of fireside chats from a wise uncle.I really, REALLY wish I had read this book 20 years ago!But it's not too late for any of us! Buy it!You won't be disappointed.
Rating: - Right on the Money!
Two thumbs up!
I just finished reading this. I haven't worked for a boss for the past 10 years (I own a company) - and Felix is "right on the money" - excuse the pun. Not that he needs my accolades. I find that many people are clueless when it comes to how money works, or how the economy works, as well as risk-averse. Most don't want to be confused by facts and they can't reallly wrap their mind around ideas that are new to them...it takes too much effort away from comfy routines & roles. ... Read More
