This is a bold James Altucher because he not only gives you a new map for the new financial landscape, but he also has skin in the game. This is the first financial book in which the author REVEALS HOW HE, PERSONALLY, MAKES HIS OWN MONEY. We are living in an epic period of change, danger and opportunity. The economy is crashing and booming every few years. People are getting fired and replaced by computers and Chinese workers. The stock market crashes with regularity. Every "fix" from the government makes things worse. The Old World has been demolished... and people are desperate for answers. James Altucher's "The Choose Yourself Guide To Wealth" contains those answers. This is the field guide to the "New World" we live in. You can play by the old rules and get left behind, or you can use these new ideas and become wealthy. This is not a book for the faint of heart. Read at your own risk, because sometimes the truth is hard to take. But for those who are ready to hear, James pr

You're right. We're ALL totally indoctrinated into myths. And it's OK. Let's get going. Choose Yourself. Here's HOW.

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2015

Verified Purchase

Wow! What a book.
I've been an avid and ravenous follower of James' material since I saw him on Glenn Beck last spring - 4/14
His article on why you need to quit your job, which he covers again in this book, articulated and crystallized in a list of 10 items, every conclusion that I'd come to independently. But here's the thing - James' list provided a VALIDATION of those 'crazy' ideas.

Part 1 of this book covers the same ground as Choose Yourself!, and articles that I've read from his email list.
But he's added a few twists in each topic. Part 1 builds the foundation set of ideas for newbies.

Parts 2 & 3, on the other hand, made me give this book a Wow!
A lot of interesting, actionable content in those chapters.
He even opens up on his personal money strategy.
His guidance on how to make Warren Buffett 'your employee' made me laugh. (as well as a good idea).
"Have at it, bank. You try to <bleeping> sell it", with regards to an underwater mortgage, was another instant classic.

I talk to my wife about 'James says this', 'Altucher said that today', EVERY DAY.
It gets the conversation going and ideas flowing.
And you know what? James' roadmap truly resonates with me.
And it makes me feel better and gets me moving.

To me, this book's message is: You're right. We're ALL totally indoctrinated into myths created by others for their benefit. And it's OK. Let's get going. Choose Yourself. Here's HOW.

Unorthodox, Ridiculous, and Absolutely Necessary

Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2015

Verified Purchase

James Altucher is not a psychic. You will probably never see him on the front of Time or Fortune magazines. If you invited him over your parents house for dinner, they probably wouldn't approve.

But James Altucher is the following: vulnerable, real, alive, smart, and dangerously observant. This book captures all of his best and worst traits.

Before I tell you to get this book I must warn you I disagreed with about 40%. I don't think his advice is for everyone. He has a very distinct way of looking at issues and an unorthodox method for suggesting solutions for them. However, this book is still a treasure trove of valuable insights from a person who has been "in every part of the prison" and lived to tell the story of how he found Freedom.

The book is divided into 3 major sections: General Rules, Ways to make money, Ways to Keep money. I found the most helpful information was in the first 2 parts (because that is the stage I'm currently in). I agree with a lot of what he has to say about the coming shifts in a lot of big areas, but I also have a slightly more positive outlook on our culture/system than he does. But this is exactly why I read James. He says things many people wouldn't like to hear and because of that we are forced to really examine the "truths" we took for granted.

Last year, after I read the first Choose Yourself book I took the plunge and started a business. 6 months of hustling later I was barely keeping afloat but I did it. I stepped out on my own - made connections - made sales! - and learned what I was made of. The business eventually failed. But I'm still choosing myself.

This book, if nothing else, will challenge you to think about what you want -what really matters to you - and what your willing to give up to get that. I appreciate that.

A book you will want to read and re-read

Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2015

Verified Purchase

Once in a while a book comes along that you read and re-read because the wisdom is timeless. Because the author knows what he is talking about and he talks directly to you the reader. You want to ponder the messages because it's that good. This book is that good.
If you are an entrepreneur or desire to be then this is going to be a book you will want to get. There is a Ton of value here. One example - he has a chapter on how to 'Get an MBA from Eminem'. I'm not an Eminem fan but the chapter looked interesting. What I found in there just blew me away...He essentially breaks down advanced sales and marketing psychology by using one video from Eminem as a learning tool. All I can say is that as an experienced marketer and entrepreneur I would say that just that one chapter is worth the price of the book. If you have never read any of James Altucher's work his style is just completely unique. He gives a wealth of examples from his own life (massive success and massive failure) all served up in a refreshingly funny and self-deprecating way. Lastly, I've read "Choose Yourself" and Loved it but actually think this book is even better.

Know What's Right For You

Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2016

Verified Purchase

Some of the things he says make a really good point and are very helpful. However, some parts of the book I don’t agree with. I’ve read other books and materials that truly speak to me, and James seems to be missing many points that I’ve learned throughout my life. Like the chapter on Paying Debt. I understand what he meant by saving money, but I find other techniques that work much better for me, especially when it comes to investing. Also, I don’t agree with not paying back your debts. If you take something or borrow without return, it will be taken from you in one way or another. It’s just a more holistic approach.
I tried to figure out why I don’t agree with James in this book. But if you look at his life and his past, I can kind of understand why he says the things he says. Some writers speak to some readers more than others.
So overall I must say, I love Choose Yourself as he lists a daily practice that can truly help people. But this second book? Not as helpful, unless you are good at discernment and won’t take everything he says to heart. Just take the advice that resonates with you.
As a matter of fact, on page 220 he sums up the whole book by writing [and I’m paraphrasing] how you should’t listen to his advice, as he is just listing what works for him. But don’t let that deter you from at least reading the first part of the book.

Eu esperava mais desse livro e quase classifiquei como 3 estrelas. Contudo, o humor do autor, somado a grandes momentos no texto me fez rever a avaliação. Ainda acho que o livro poderia ser melhor, mas sem dúvidas conta com alguns grandes ensinamentos.

I read this in about two days - Amazing! Will be reading it over again it was that good! The amount of breakthrough insights James shares is powerful and the way he fuses his stories into it makes it an entertaining and thought provoking read. From being at the bottom as well as at the top and combining those experiences with all the great minds he's learned from over the years makes this one of the most ultimate resources for anyone looking to change their life. He really shares the best of the best and biggest ideas that can make an impact. Thank you for what you do James!

Libro básico de finanzas personales

Reviewed in Spain on March 24, 2016

Verified Purchase

Soy un seguidor del blog de James Altucher desde hace tiempo. Este libro es un compendio de sus ideas sobre finanzas personales. De lectura amena y rápida, propone un marco personal para gestionar tu vida financiera. Sin embargo creo que el libro no me ha aportado ningún concepto nuevo o alguna idea nueva para aplicar. Quizá sea un buen libro para gente más joven que se esté iniciando en este mundo, pero para gente con cierta experiencia creo que no aporta mucho valor.
