I for one greatly enjoyed the honesty of "How to get rich" - which, for once, was not written by someone who got rich teaching people how to get rich, but simply be someone who did get rich.
I can't say I espouse all of Felix's approach to wealth-building, but it certainly was an interesting read. I recommend it to any entrepreneur.
- robfitz 12y agoAnd given that I'm currently borrowing (and conveniently forgetting to return) swombat's copy of the aforementioned book, I would have to agree. I've been recommending it to everyone as a counterpoint to the Lean Startup stuff. It's hard to make a real decision if you've only got one voice in your ear. Probably my favourite book I read this year. Well worth the time.
- SyneRyder 12y agoThe Audible version of the book is brilliant, the narration takes it to a whole new level. It felt like I was listening to a British comedy with a John Cleese character. One of my favorite Audible books. There's a great story in there about how they survived a cashflow crisis. Very dodgy, but fantastic to read about, and it's good to see some honesty about those tactics. I've personally made lots of notes through Chapter 5, and Chapter 9 where he talks about the darker moments when he nearly threw it all in.

- charlesdm 12y agoTotally agree. One of the best (and most honest) books on the subject I've ever read.
