review 1: I learned a lot from the narrow road. It explained very briefly and simply how the big shots get to what they are. It explains which are the right choices and which are the left choices. The narrow road is a very easy read. I enjoyed that there were no character in the story. I found the narrows road chapters very well distributed. They were lessons that you could read very fast. Even tough they were easy to read fast they had great meaning in them. They explain how to invest different investions. How to close deals. Felix Dennis has a very straight to the point method. He tells you exactly how to do the job. He do sent give you to many flexibility and this could be negative. The reason I think this could be negative is if a person has a alike situation, that i sent necess... moreary the same.
review 2: Americans know Felix Dennis as the publisher of the famed Maxim magazine. Brits know Dennis as the successful entrepreneur and media mogul behind a host of publications at his Dennis Media outpost. As the author of last year’s best seller “How to be Rich,” readers the world over know Dennis as a man who knows the path to financial success through the tried and true lessons of the school of hard knocks.Such is the case with his latest volume, “The Narrow Road.” In it, Dennis, much like the professor he resembles, gives a curriculum of lessons designed to educate the reader as to exactly what works and what doesn’t in the “getting of money.” Unlike a professor, Dennis’s knowledge and examples are gleaned from actually having to raise money in the dod-eart-dog realities of the real world.Geared towards startups, but with many lessons applicable to all small business, the author explains in a series of very short chapters, his well-hewn philosophies as to what is important and what is not in terms that are at times, shockingly unvarnished and straight to the point. Dennis suffers no fools when he talks about overarching concepts like equity dilution, and debt to revenue ratios, while also offering abundant pronouncements on the psychology of being successful (i.e. dealing with fear, the need for arrogance, handling management, etc.)The narrow road Dennis refers to is, of course, the road to success and while Dennis has had it with those who pontificate without the benefit of experience, he is quick to offer advise based on the bruises he has presumably accumulated in the workplace himself. On one hand, it would be nice if he elucidated more details backing his theories, bit one senses that he purposely keeps things short and to the point to make his lesson (they are almost commandments) come across as pithy but punchy, as only an egotistical, supremely confident Brit can do. Because when you get right down to it, that’s probably exactly what keeps him on the narrow road as well. less
