By James Altucher
This book was a great fun read. I fortunately found James Altucher (after hearing him off of Gary V’s videos) and I subscribed to his newsletter to see what he was all about. James’s self loathing and brutal honesty is somewhat refreshing from all the overconfident entrepreneurs and business personalities out there trying to motivate people. He is a great story teller that tells of his many failures and how he learned from them. The ultimate message of the book is how he tended to always fail when working for other but once he “Chose Himself” things turned out fo the best. I love his interviewing style as well as his heavy NY accent and the fact that he has a finance background which I can relate to. The one thing he said that stuck out at me was that you should NOT quit your job and become an entrepreneur. He worked for 18 months on his side hustle before considering quitting his day job. I think this speaks loudly as so many people right now are preaching the quit your job line.
