Books with author Felix Dennis

Felix Dennis is 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 different from any other book on the subject because Dennis isn't selling snake oil, investment tips, or motivational claptrap. He merely wants to help people embrace entrepreneurship, and to share lessons he learned the hard way. He reveals, for example, why a regular paycheck is like crack cocaine; why great ideas are vastly overrated; and why "ownership isn't the important thing, it's the only thing."

The free-flowing watering hole at the edge of the Subongo jungle was like any other gathering station scattered at random throughout the lush green vastness of the African bush. There was always the assorted collection of misfits and outcasts, the loners, the do-gooders, the busybodies, the Joneses, the brats, the wannabe-models, and the everyday folk—the backbone of society—who rarely made ripples, but whose steady influence filtered through the very fibres of the Subongo world, and helped things roll along at a steady pace. There were the large families with their brood of unruly offspring, the single parent families who foraged quietly for their daily needs, the teenagers, the babies, and of course the grandparents.All in all, the neighbourhood of the balmy tropical waterhole at Subongo was a lot like ours, apart from one major difference. Everyone living there had either claws, tusks, or fur.
