Publisher's summary

The world is changing. Markets have crashed. Jobs have disappeared. Industries have been disrupted and are being remade before our eyes. Everything we aspired to for "security," everything we thought was "safe," no longer is: College. Employment. Retirement. Government. It’s all crumbling down.

In every part of society, the middlemen are being pushed out of the picture. No longer is someone coming to hire you, to invest in your company, to sign you, to pick you. It’s on you to make the most important decision in your life: Choose Yourself.

New tools and economic forces have emerged to make it possible for individuals to create art, make millions of dollars, and change the world without "help." More and more opportunities are rising out of the ashes of the broken system to generate real inward success (personal happiness and health) and outward success (fulfilling work and wealth).

This audiobook will teach you to do just that. With dozens of case studies, interviews and examples - including the author, investor and entrepreneur James Altucher's own heartbreaking and inspiring story - Choose Yourself illuminates your personal path to building a bright, new world out of the wreckage of the old.

Even better listening to this book

James is authentic and honest and hilarious. I’ve listened to this book several times and laughed out loud every time. It’s a great book to have in your library and to give to others. The audio version is the best version because you get to hear James tell his own story. Great advice and a fresh perspective.

surprisingly entertaining!

Great book! It wasn't chalked full of original ideas or groundbreaking messages. But it did still get my creative juices flowing and James Altucher was fresh and funny. I was quite entertained and will recommend.

Choose yourself, help the world

Loved this book, most of it I knew already from experience but it is essential information we need today. Start with yourself, invest in yourself and make changes in yourself to change the world we live in. It starts with you!

Great Fun. A real character with good ideas

I went yo exercise today with just a little bit of inspiration from listening to this book. Very healthy and fun. I intend to listen a couple more times. I bought a hard copy.

Awesome. Wish I had read it years ago.

This book really got to me. Instead o being more knowledge and tips and general advice, this book made me feel the author, James Altucher, really knew about my struggles. And because of thar, he was able to provide actionable insights on how to create a better life. No matter where you are. No matter what you do. This book shares tremendous advice on how to get ahead in life. But really, get ahead in life. Things you can start doing right now, and that will benefit you in all important areas of life. Also, pick up Choose Yourself Guide to Wealth, it is also an amazing book.

Excellent! Authentic, entertaining, informative!

This book is a great listen/read! I have both the audio and Kindle versions of Choose Yourself. The Kindle version for quick reference to highlights and notes -- which I think there are many very useful gems in this book. Don't buy into the negative reviews. Yes, it's a little crass, a little (a lot) quirky, etc. But it's also very genuine, full of optimism and most importantly, great advice for business and living well. Example: "Honesty compounds exponentially..." This chapter is gold! Frankly, I loved it all. It's rare that a self-help book makes me laugh out loud -- another bonus of Altucher's unique style. I'm a fan, follower, devotee after listening and re-listening to this gem! It's like Woody Allen (if Allen was an optimist and had a moral compass), Larry David and Steven Pressfield wrapped into one. High praise indeed!

good stuff

Very motivating. The overview of economic reasons why choosing yourself is important was especially motivating. You can't help other people until you help yourself. Also altucher is hilarious. He just does stuff like call celebreties all the time like its nothing. He was an honorary colonel at the age of 12 cause he just asked to be. Just ask.

Extremely Helpful For Me

When audiobook began, author, who's narrating this book said he was going to do some ad libbing. Thought that might be a mistake, but ended up making the book way more enjoyable. I like this book that's it's not all about being great or your best self, it's more down to Earth than a lot of self help books trying to make us all into heroes. It's self deprecating, neurotic, and at times sarcastic, for me it's exactly what I needed right now. One of my favorites.

Awesome!

It's nice to hear honest, humble, sincere advice on getting through the tough stuff ! You'll be incredibly inspired and maybe even change your life!

I forgot how freaking good this book is.

The Daily Practice changed my life. When I first came across Choose Yourself, I was pretty depressed in life.

Doing the Daily Practice sparked a Renaissance for me. I sold a business, wrote a book, and am doing what I love right now.

But as fallible humans, we forget. So, it’s really a good thing to read and listen to this book again. So I have, and I feel the same Choose Yourself fire I felt several years back, and I’m appreciative that it’s happened again.

Thank you, James for your wisdom.
