Happy Sexy Millionaire: From bestselling author and host of The Diary of a CEO podcast, and Dragons Den star Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 3,411 ratings

***THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER***


'As an 18-year-old, Black, broke, lonely, insecure, university drop-out from a bankrupt family, I wrote in my diary that I wanted to be a "Happy Sexy Millionaire" by the age of 25. By 25 I was a multi-millionaire having created a business worth over $300m dollars. Ironically, in achieving everything I set out to, I learnt that I was wrong about almost everything . . . The world had lied to me. It lied to me about how you attain fulfilment, love and success, why those things matter, and what those words actually mean.'


We are losing ourselves. We're chasing the wrong things, asking the wrong questions, and polluting our minds. It's time to stop, it's time to resist and it's time to rethink the fundamental social blueprint that our lives are built upon.


In this book, Steven Bartlett dismantles the most popular, unaddressed lies about happiness that we've been led to believe. He exposes the source of these lies, examines the incentives that fuel them and replaces them with a practical set of scientifically proven and unconventional ideas that will help you to live a truly fulfilled life, a life full of the love you seek and the success you deserve.

'This book will change your life if you let it' - Tom Bilyeu, Co-Founder/CEO of Impact Theory & Co-Founder of Quest Nutrition

Review

"This book will change your life if you let it."―Tom Bilyeu, Impact Theory Podcast

"When I read your posts, I raise an eyebrow...and I'm like yeah! That is powerful, that is important, wise advice on our behavior...we are accountable for our behaviors and I really get that from you."―
Drew Barrymore

About the Author

Steven Bartlett is the 28-year-old founder of the social media marketing agency, Social Chain. From a bedroom in Manchester, this university drop-out built what would become one of the world's most influential social media companies when he was just 21-years-old, before taking his company public at 27 with a market valuation of almost £200m.

He was born in a village in Botswana, Africa and grew up as a young black man in an all-white area in the southwest  of England. He never had money or good grades, but he did have an unshakeable sense of self-belief and a remarkably unconventional perspective on the world.

Steven is widely considered one of Europe's most talented and accomplished young entrepreneurs and philosophical thinkers.

His podcast The Diary Of A CEO has become one of the top lifestyle, business and mindset podcasts in Europe and Steven has accumulated over 2 million followers online.

    Happy Sexy Millionaire" is a must-read for anyone stepping into adulthood or for those so-called "money chasers" who believe wealth is the only key to happiness. Steven Bartlett breaks down this illusion and shows that success isn’t just about money and status—it’s about fulfillment. This isn’t your typical motivational fluff; the author shares raw personal experiences, challenges common success myths, and highlights what truly matters in life. It’s a book that makes you think and could completely change the way you approach your goals and happiness.

    This book is hard to describe. I’d say it’s a combination of self help and existential philosophy while providing commentary on our current society’s culture. Before I go any further, you should absolutely buy this book. But I feel like this book should come with a disclaimer along the lines of “eye opening, philosophical journey contemplating existential questions”. This book will draw you in and keep you wanting more. At least every other page I found myself saying YES. Full disclosure - I’m only 100 pages in.
    The book title can be misleading to those that haven’t listened to Steven’s podcast, but I can assure you this is not your typical self help book. Like I said, hard to describe. This is the anti-hustle porn book. Although, if you found yourself reading this review and searching for hustle-porn books, you need to read this book.
    I can’t wait to finish this book. Steven, if you’re reading this, I applaud you for bringing this book to us. Changing our societally mindset is likely impossible but I do hope you continue to challenge the status quo and give all of us hope for positively changing our own lives and the lives of those around us.
    I want to buy this book for everyone I know. Some of my friends and family probably need to be beaten over the head a few times with this. In case I haven’t made it clear - You need to read this book. But fair warning, it will open your mind and that will likely be uncomfortable. I think perhaps a more appropriate title could have been “inconvenient truths - what do we do now?”. Like his advertisement says “this is my intervention”. Fitting.
    Thank you Steven, well done!

    I’ve been following Steven on social media for some time now and he’s always posted relevant and inspiring content. I couldn’t wait to pre-order this book, but also part of me wasn’t sure how useful it would be since there are so many books on fulfillment these days. This book surpassed all expectations! Its not simply the information put forth, but the delivery of the content that makes it so easy to read but also so profound. Phenomenal read. Finished in a few days and now re-reading. If you’ve gotten this far, I’d suggest ordering this asap!

    Really about fulfillment, love, and success. It is filled with great nuggets of wisdom, and it points out how everything people think they want isn’t really what they want.
    One of my favorite quotes from the book:
    “There is no self-development without self-awareness. You can read as many books as you like, but if you’re unable to read yourself, you’ll never learn a thing.”

    I grew up an avid reader. Nothing could get between me and my books. Lately, though, I’d fallen out of the habit entirely. I’ve picked up heaps of books the last while, and not one of them did I actually finish. I couldn’t tell you the last time I read a book cover to cover (seeing as it’s been at least 6 years) and that held true until this week. Steven’s book showed up at my doorstep and my goal of finally finishing another book was complete. I was completely captivated and found every excuse to NOT put it down. Within just a few hours I’d accomplished my goal of finally finishing another book. And not only that, the info contained inside was perspective shattering. Absolutely buy this book! The words and messages within its pages will benefit you for years to come.

    I wish I read this earlier in my life, because like Steven I to have reached some of my materialistic goals, money, property, etc. Like him, I also felt empty after reaching my goals, this book helps me understand the why and more importantly I can relate to it. Now to start practicing and change the way I see things.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Most Honest Life Changing Book You’ll Read Over and Over
    Reviewed in Canada on March 27, 2021
    I’m gonna be honest, at first I didn’t order this book because Steve puts out SO MUCH free value through social media so I figured since I already have 30 books on my shelf to get through, I don’t need another one sitting there collecting dust. I ended up pre-ordering it and boy was I wrong to think I don’t need this book.

    Steve’s honesty is addicting. As a Gen Z young adult, this is the first time ever that I feel the author of a book just gets me. I already know this is a book I will be reading over and over again (and I never re-read books). And because of the sexy design, it’ll end up as a coffee table book when it’s not on my night stand begging to be read. Thinking of getting the Audible version as well so I have it with me at all times on my phone.

    From the serendipitous moment of the book being delivered to me right as I was getting in my car to leave to work for the weekend, I’ve been trying to get through as much as I can with the little free time I have. Pictured above is me trying to squeeze in a few pages during a break while I work at a hockey game, most Canadian picture of the book ever, eh?

    ( Had to force myself to write this review as it’s wasting precious moments I could be using to finish the book haha)
