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.

Love this book!

I really love this audio book - I think largely due to it being read by James himself. It's deeply authentic and I feel very unique in the present self-help business book market. James is sharing his experiences and thoughts in the most relatable of ways that actually has meaningful impact. There's many layers and levels to the book, and each will speak and connect with you in a different way depending on where you're at, so I would suggest revisiting it often.

Very Positive

Not a huge fan. I didn't get any profound revelations. Worth a listen I guess!

It was okay

I liked the deadpan humor, and the kind sentiments were good, but overall, I didn't get much out of the book.

Entertaining, inspiring, but not new

I enjoyed this book; particularly the author’s reading of it.

It contained some simple inspiring reminders. However there was nothing earth shattering, new, or particularly actionable.

A motivating read for someone just starting out in their career or launching a first business.
