How to Get Rich
by Felix Dennis
Mentioned once across 1 show · first heard Nov 2025 on My First Million.
The general take
Sam Parr strongly endorses Felix Dennis's 'How to Get Rich,' describing Dennis as a colorful character combining Richard Branson's entrepreneurial spirit with rock-and-roll swagger. Parr finds Dennis credible partly because he actually practiced what he preached—stepping back from business at 35 to pursue his real passion of writing poetry for the last decade of his life.
About
Uncover the secret to incredible wealth with practical advice from self-made millionaire Felix Dennis, for personal finance readers of Napoleon Hill and Robert Kiyosaki. Felix Dennis was an expert at proving people wrong. Starting as a college dropout with no family money, he created a publishing empire, founded Maxim magazine, made himself one of the richest people in the UK, and had a blast in the process. How to Get Rich is his magnum opus—and it is not like any personal finance or self-help book you’ve ever read. Dennis isn’t selling snake oil, investment tips, or motivational nonsense. He instead asks a simple question: are you young, desperate, and hungry enough to do whatever it takes to get rich? If not, this book might not be for you. That’s fine! But if so… This is a book of lessons in business, learned the hard way so you don’t have to.
