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.

Recommend by Bobby Rio

And so I read, and I enjoyed and will read again. Especially the parts about writing down ten ideas per day and having idea sex. I can’t wait to see what will happen in my future. Only problem is I suffer from trauma so my mental health, which affects my physical health, is just so difficult. I found fasting works best for me, but as soon as I get stressed I over eat.

Short, sharp, useful


You’ll be able to derive about 2 pages of actionable notes to help improve your life and the life of those around you

I believe it worth your time to read/listen. The shorter length (~2.5 hours or less depending on how much you speed it up, I did 1.75x as his speaking pace is casual) lends itself well to repeated listens - recommend at least 2 full listens

Interesting stories

For one credit, it’s a steal honestly

Good book only if you're a suicidal,anxious person

I avoid giving negative reviews but this book did trigger me. It's a complete waste of time. The title is good, the content is just terrible, the author's performance makes it worse. Sorry if this is harsh, the book really is way too shallow.

Amazing narrator very easy to follow

Storyline/advices he gives are very relatable. Nothing seems impossible to adapt to your life. You can tell the author is a person just like anybody else, which makes it a good read. Glad I got to listen to this. Narrating skills are spot on too.
