Felix Dennis is an expert at proving people wrong. Starting out as a
college dropout with no family money, Dennis managed to make himself
one of the hundred richest individuals in the United Kingdom. Along the
way, he founded Maxim magazine and created his own publishing empire. He
had a blast in the process, and he wants to show you how to do the
same. How to Get Rich, which was a no. 1 bestseller in the UK, is
different from any other book on the subject because Dennis isn’t
selling snake oil, investment tips, or motivational claptrap. He doesn’t
want you to buy his DVD or attend his twelve-step seminar. He merely
wants to help you embrace entrepreneurship—and learn from his successes
and failures.
If you’re serious about making money, this book will be your witty and
authoritative road map. And even if you’re not, it’s still a bloody good
read.
Dennis 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” (with certain exceptions; as
Dennis also points out, “if it flies, floats, or fornicates, always rent
it—it’s cheaper in the long run”).
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!
Felix Dennis is the chairman of Dennis Publishing and the founder of
Maxim, one of the most successful new magazines of the last decade. His
privately owned company publishes The Week, Auto Express, Stuff,
Computer Shopper, and Evo, among many other magazines. He has written
several volumes of poetry that have been performed live onstage by the
Royal Shakespeare Company.
