88, the Narrow Road: A Brief Guide to the Getting of Money
Read "How To Get Rich," which is in another thread before this. This
is a follow-up and repeats a lot of it, but how to get rich is much better.
Use "88" to come back to and re-read from time to time AFTER you
have read How To Get Rich. Trust me on this, they will be more beneficial to
you this way. - Non Conformer
Felix Dennis is one of Britain's wealthiest self-made entrepreneurs. And
he didn't get there by simply reading about how to get rich.
He went out and did it.
Appreciating that those intent on becoming rich will not have the time or
inclination to read page upon page of guidance and advice on the subject,
Felix Dennis has reduced his own business wisdom to 88 tenets of wealth
generation, all written in his inimitable style. "88 The Narrow Road" is for those
determined to get rich, for those who will not confuse reading with doing, and
for those who seek the narrow road.

"When I had heard that Felix Dennis had put out a new book on "getting
rich", I was very excited. When I had heard that it was a UK-only
edition at this time, that was a mere geographical hurdle. I ordered
the text through a reseller on Amazon, and patiently waited for it to
arrive via Royal Mail. The wait was grievous, like the anxious
anticipation of a letter from a dear, dear friend.
When it did arrive, I was ecstatic, and quickly devoured the text.
In summary, this book is basically an intentionally reduced version of his
very excellent previous text, "How to Get Rich". The familiar adages
and advice found in "How to Get Rich" are called out explicitly in this
text in 88 tenets on the getting of wealth.
If you have read "How to Get Rich" (and paid attention), I am sad to say
that this book will not offer you much new material to chew on. Mr. Dennis
describes "How to Get Rich" as "an armchair diversion", and "88: The Narrow
Road" as a "tool". I believe that is true, and that is why I have no qualms
owning both texts.
My recommendation to you would be to read "How to Get Rich" if you have
not already read it. Although it is "an armchair diversion", I feel that it offers
up much more to be considered. You could then consider "88: The Narrow
Road" as the study guide, specifically calling out the principles laid forth in
the previous text, and the things which should be focused on, should you
choose to tread the narrow road."

Felix Dennis was imprisoned in 1971 as co-editor of OZ magazine. After
his acquittal on appeal, he founded his own magazine publishing company
in 1973 and made millions with the sale of Personal Computer World and
MacUser in the mid-eighties. Today, Dennis Publishing remains a
privately owned company with headquarters in London and New York City.
Titles include The Week, Auto Express, Maxim, Men's Fitness and Computer
Shopper. The annual Sunday Times Rich List estimates that Felix Dennis
is the 88th richest individual in the UK. Following a life-threatening
illness, his first collection of poetry, A Glass Half Full was published
by Hutchinson and the second, Lone Wolf, in 2004. He divides his time
between homes in Warwickshire, London, New York, Connecticut and the
Caribbean island of Mustique.
