About this ebook
Uncover the secret to incredible wealth with practical advice from self-made millionaire Felix Dennis, for personal finance readers of Napoleon Hill and Robert Kiyosaki.
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:
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?

This book is one of my favorite biography's and get rich books. He let's you in on what it will take and what to expect when embarking down the path of entrepreneurship. Best line in the book "you will spend countless dark and lonely nights trying to become wealthy, but when your going through hell, just keep on going".

I like how frank and direct Felix is. I like to learn from rich and honest people and that is exactly what Felix Dennis is. I also learned at least 10 new words thanks to this book. Amazing!
