When 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 boo…

Guys like you are why guys that this have $100m bank accounts.

He already had $100m before writing the book.

It's a joke, thanks for the karma hit.

This is one of my most favorite books. It is highly probable that you (as a HN user) will like it too.

Why don't you review/summarize it for Squeezed Books?:-)

I didn't downmod you, I only replied to your comment. Anyway, talking about karma is probably just noise here.

Felix 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

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. :-)
