How to Get Rich

Product Information

Their ability to take chances and to subsequently exploit initial success counted more than their inclination toward a particular industry. These are all challenges that the majority of Dennis’s audience are familiar with, so it is nice that he tells the aspiring entrepreneurs reading his book that they can overcome overwhelming fears, and even use them to their advantage. Despite what the author himself says, you don't need to read this book if your only goal from doing so is actually to get rich.

The answer to the question, then, is perhaps this: not those who want to and not those who need to, but those who are utterly determined to—whatever the cost.

As the author so sagely and frequently points out, almost all of the other self-help book authors have no basis for the advice they give.

It is my hope that this book will cause you to consider very carefully whether you are truly driven by inner demons to be rich. Because Felix Dennis is going to stop him wasting a lot of time believing that some people are nicer and cleverer than they are or that reading those idiotic books about leadership from people who could not navigate their way to an ice cream parlour on a hot day is going to make an iota of difference to his wealth.The folly, on the other hand, often takes the shape of a peculiar affliction, known colloquially as the “it wasn’t invented here” syndrome. An “Albert” is one who can never become rich simply because they lack the personality or drive to do so; they exist in a grey zone between desire and compulsion.
