About this ebook

'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'.

Ratings and reviews

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It's clever, to the point and very honest. Naturally one might not agree with everything Dennis writes. I guess that's why we all think it will be different for us or choose another path, but you cannot fault the man for telling his story and a very interesting story it is indeed.

I have bought the hard copy 3 times and I just bought the eBook and now finished it for the 6th or 8th just love it. You just can't stop reading or laughing for that matter. God bless you Felix Dennis the book is gold.

After reading the sample here, i think this book is a waste of time. Nothing beneficial here...
