How To Get Rich
Product Description
‘Making money is a knack, a knack that can be acquired. And if someone like me can become rich, then so can you – no matter what your present circumstances. Here is how I did it and what I learned along the way.’ So writes Felix Dennis, who believes that almost anyone of reasonable intelligence can become rich, given sufficient motivation and application. “How To Get Rich” is a distillation of his business wisdom. Primarily concerned with the step-by-step creation of wealth, it ruthlessly dissects the business failures and financial triumphs of ‘a South London lad who became rich virtually by accident’. Part manual, part memoir, part primer, this book is a template for those who are willing to stare down failure and transform their lives. Canny, infuriating, cynical and generous by turns, “How To Get Rich” is an invaluable guide to ‘the surprisingly simple art of collecting money which already has your name on it’…. More >>
If you have nothing better to read then this book could be semi interesting. I wouldn’t read it again.
I WANT MY MONEY BACK and MY TIME TOO which I wasted trying to find some advice from this so called rich guy.
Series of Contradictions !
1. First you say, Take Risk
Second you say Don’t. For capital, don’t go to a banker they are sharks, Don’t go to Finanacers they are bad, try to get money and work done the poor way struggling around with your friends. WHERE IS THE RISK ?
2. You says Hire smart people, nurture smart people, respect them and then fire them when required. WHAT’s LEFT ? Whats the difference, Whats new ? WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY ?
3. Another advice You can get rich by Luck. I think thats what happened with this guy
I have read 5 chapters and yet to get a real ADVICE, which I can use.
And on top of that VAGUE poems which means nothing but add ambiguity to the topic in hand.
All big words and no substance. I really wonder if this guy is rich or just trying to become rich by SELLING THIS book. Next time I would rather see the bank account of the guy.
I was fool enough to buy the guy’s Poem book also.
I found this an unpleasant read at the best of times but once I discovered I was a) too old to get rich without enlisting the services of a much younger partner and b) too impoverished to even fall into the category of ” comfortably poor” I found this book unpick-up-able. This book is the closest I have ever come to repeating my experience as a six year old eating calf’s foot jelly. Over forty years later I still keep a respectful distance, due to the repulsion of the olfactory memory. But only too aware that for some it is an acquired taste and a delicacy. Dennis is definitely the reading equivalent of calf’s foot jelly in my estimation, sharp, sour with a bitter unforgetable aftertaste.
It’s worth the time and money. This book is talking about “super rich” rich. Although I am never going to be that rich, it does teach me a couple valuable lessons. And the author is a really interesting guy.
I heard him talking about this book in an interview. He said that it was not meant to be a “how to get rich” instruction manual, or a book to inspire you in your quest to become rich. Rather, he said the book was meant to show how difficult it is to become rich, how much you have to give up, the price you have to pay, and what you have to neglect to be rich. He said it was meant to sober and discourage people from making the determination to be rich at all costs. He said that he wished he had the last 30 years of his life back so he could write more poetry.
