Choose Yourself!
by James AltucherWritten and Narrated by Leigh Martinuzzi – originally published Aug 15, 2014
James Altucher is a quirky dude. Operating under many tittles, Hedge Fund Manager, Entrepreneur, Venture Capitalist, Author and Podcaster, I appreciate him for his unique perspectives, ability to think outside the box and his way of vulnerable self-expression. With over 20 books under his belt, this is perhaps one of his more popular ones with a title that has a nice hook – who doesn’t want to choose themselves, be happy, make millions and live the dream?
The book starts with a deal from James and that’s an offer that if you can prove you’ve read the book, he will refund your money. He states that all the ideas in the book have already given him his success and made him his pennies and rather than giving it away he is simply asking you to invest in yourself with some certain level of confidence. Essentially asking you to ‘Choose Yourself’. A clever marketing ploy, nonetheless.

TED Talks Daily
With Leigh Martinuzzi
I’ve been listing to this podcast for some time now so it’s about time I did a quick reflection. My take on TED talks – they rock. You can definitely over-consume TED talks and the reason I believe is that they are short, inspiring, education and therefore a tad addictive. Actually, I use to have more time to watch one of the TED talk videos each day but recently not so much which is a damn shame. Thankfully, TED Talks Daily fills the void. (more…)
