Re: "How to Get Rich": an anti-self-help book by Felix Dennis
#2When I was staying in Amsterdam, I picked up this book and read it from cover-to-cover. And when I got back to the states, I read it again.
I read an enormous number of how-to, self-help, technical and spiritual books every year. I can easily tell the fluff from the meat. This is a book I'll keep in my library for a long time.
He talks very frankly about his successes and failures. That's hard to find in business books today, which are full on theory, but this guy backs up his missives with a $100m bank account.
Anyway, I strongly recommend this book. It's a fast read and even if you don't agree with everything he says, you'll certainly get a few good nuggets from it.

#5Felix Dennis is great. No nonesense but he properly lives his life too. Thanks for the link - I've seen documentaries about him, but didn't realise he'd written a book, so I'll go buy this as its sure to be a good read

Felix Dennis is one of those rare racehorses that not only can run fast, but can also tell you exactly how to run fast.
One of the best books I've read. Very frank and upfront. I re-evaluated many of my beliefs and assumptions after reading it.

I like the fact that you define "Properly lives his life" as spending over 100 million on whores and drugs over the course of it. :-)
