review 1: James Altucher is one of my favorite bloggers. His book has a refreshing perspective on many "sacred cows". It's honest, enlightening, and healthy. Altucher discussed accepted and taken for granted area of our lives - thoroughly review it from every angle - and then make the decision that it is working or not working for us. It is honest, enabling and at this point in our lives, a much needed process. He touches on such subjects as the need for colleges, buying a house, and life in a corporate cubicle. An analogy is that of taking everything out of the house and putting it on the front yard. Then deciding on each and every item before taking it back into your house. The author's point is that just because an outdated belief is promoted or handed down to you years ago, does... more not entitle it a place in your life. A great read to start the year.
review 2: Collection of blog posts from quirky hedge fund guy turned happiness blogger, James Altucher. I like his "reassess everything" kind of perspective. Plain to the point of having occasional punctuation issues, which I eventually found quaint. Short. Sometimes repetitive. But there are a few key things in there which I expect to find really helpful, or at a minimum, interesting. I imagine others would find the same, about different things in there. Only $1 as a Kindle eBook. Recommended for thinking. less

Inspiring and thought-provoking. You can't but like Altucher's mind.

One of the best books I've read this year, it's open your mind.

Incoherent ranting. Tossed aside after one or two chapters.

If you only read one ebook this year, make it this one.
