Absolutely wonderful read for all the unusual reasons. Felix Dennis affords us lowly cubs the opportunity to do what a select few can do. Listen to the honest thoughts of a millionaire who "earned" his riches by creating a company from scratch. Unlike other reads of guys who become rich selling you hope pie and their 5 dvd series, this is the real deal. In our hearts, though we may envy the latter for their riches, we do not respect their snake oil ways of obtaining wealth. We do not believe their fluff and double-speak that says everything and nothing. Then, Felix the un-self-help author, enters. He doesn't care if you like him. He doesn't necessarily like you. He constantly advises to return the book or give it away (great strategy to keep it). The true treasure in the book is not a guide to riches but a guide to truly evaluate yourself. To truly understand the beautiful tragedy that is the fierce determination to obtain immense wealth. It is not an encouraging book for many wealth seekers. The basic message will be to stop...you can't cut it...you don't have the fire. But even if you don't, it is beautiful to read his description of those that do. Glad I purchased it!Read full review
Excellent read. A very nice break from the "everyone can and should be rich just because the sun is shining crowd, Felix lays it out with all of the bumps and bruises so you are CLEAR about what it really takes to achieve major success....love this book.
The author is obviously very intellegent. However he is obsessed with riches. The Bible says... what does it profit a man to gain the whole world but loose his own soul! I was looking for tips on investing but wasn't impressed with author's presentation.
Very intersting and well written book, highly entertaining first hand account of his approach to life and views of the economic world.
