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.

There's a list of Simple Daily Practices that I have found very helpful.

Everything. He's like an old friend who is very wise. I didn't want it to end.

Loved it. Took notes.

Common sense approaches. Extremes in life are difficult to manage. He breaks everything down to its core, the basics, which made it very helpful.

Honesty & practical advice from James Altucher

Really enjoyed this book, and I wish James would read all my audio books and add his own colorful commentary.

good vibes

I like where he's going with this. I think these ideas are part of something bigger. What the bigger thing is... who knows; I hope he figures it out for me and write it in his next book.

Disappointed for it to end.

Just finished the book and I was sad when it ended. I feel seen, validated, inspired and am immediately ready to give it a second listen. Thank you James Altucher for your transparent and unapologetically authentic book and reading.
