“52 Paths to Success” – A Review

There are many business guides that contain valuable knowledge. But do you have to read all of these guides? Dennis Fischer wants to have read hundreds of such guides for his book “52 ways to success” and summarized the 52 best ideas. But: Can he keep his promise? A review.

I’ll admit it right at the start: I’m always a bit skeptical when a book builds on summaries of ideas from other books. Because for me there is a reason that an author writes what is found in his book at the end of an idea.

To then just summarize this content and create a new work in this way seems a little “lightweight” to me. How nice it is to see when my skepticism gives way to great joy. This is exactly what happened while reading Dennis Fischer’s book “52 Ways to Success”.

Review: “52 Ways to Success” – when skepticism gives way to joy

I have known the author for some time as a reader of his newsletter. This always contains interesting ideas and deals with topics that make you think. What I like about it is that a bridge is often built to the experiences of the author. So I was curious to see if the book would go in that direction.

The book is divided into six subject areas. These start with “Goals and Visions”, go on to “Self-Management”, “Finances” and “Body, Psychology and Mindset” and then end with “Relationships and Network” and “Structure and Focus”.

Various ideas are then clarified in each subject area. I can already say that the ideas presented in this book represent an excellent basis of business success knowledge and thus a successful selection. Certainly some of these ideas have already been discussed many times. But I don’t think that’s a flaw in the book.

Dennis Fischer provides a better understanding

Because Dennis Fischer doesn’t just summarize certain ideas from business guides. Rather, he describes them in his own words, which often contributes to a better understanding. On the other hand, he provides the representations of these ideas with his own classifications, supplements them with other ideas and thereby either completes them or shows new aspects.

In particular, he draws on his own experiences and experiences that he had in connection with individual ideas from the books. Having read some of the books in which Dennis Fischer presents business ideas, I was able to get a good sense of the author’s strong ability to present and describe these business ideas in his own words in a new way .

“52 ways to success”: More than just added value!

That alone would add value to this book for me. Yes – there is more! Because, as the author writes in the introduction, it is important to him that the reader(s) put the tips received into practice. That is why there is a specific instruction for each topic on how to get “doing” on this topic.

Is that really enough now? No, because last but not least there is the book’s website, where you can get checklists with video instructions as well as a podcast with episodes on each topic of the book.

Is there anything to criticize about the book? If I’m honest, you have to look for points of criticism. So I find some headlines for a few of the business ideas a bit badly constructed. And there could be a lot of discussion about how the six subject areas are connected in such a way that they have to be dealt with together in this book.

Conclusion: “52 ways to success”

But that is idle. Because just because I might not be very familiar with one of these areas doesn’t mean that someone else doesn’t particularly appreciate this topic. In any case, the topics are very comprehensive and definitely deal with questions that concern and therefore interest many people.

My conclusion about this book is probably not surprising: I can recommend it unreservedly. If you not only want to read summaries of business ideas, but also want them classified and commented on, and also want recommendations for the application of these ideas, this book is the best choice.
