Felix Dennis on How To Get Rich
How To Get Rich (2008) Felix Dennis Over a decade ago, I passed this book straight on to my late teenage son, not because of its insights into business (although it rings true on that account) but because of its insights into human nature and into the world 'out there' that he was going to have to negotiate in the coming years. Like all sons, he might not listen to his Dad (and no real reason why he should) but he might listen to 'uncle' Felix. I have no idea if he actually read it or not but I am rather proud of how he turned out (not much to do with me and a lot to his mother). Why should have read it and why should it be read by all young adults with a mind to dabbling in the world of capitalism? 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
