In a world where traditional employment security has vanished, James Altucher offers a radical proposition: choose yourself. Unlike most success gurus preaching from theoretical mountaintops, Altucher writes from the depths of devastating personal failure. He lost millions, his home, his family, and even missed his father's death after cutting contact with his parents. His journey from suicidal depression to sustainable success forms the backbone of a book that has captivated entrepreneurs like Mark Cuban and Tim Ferriss. The power of his message lies in its raw vulnerability and practical wisdom for navigating an economy where the middleman is disappearing and institutional safety nets have disintegrated. What began as the "American Dream" - originally just a marketing concept created by Fannie Mae to sell mortgages - evolved into an unsustainable economic model propped up by a series of bubbles. When it all crashed in 2008, companies seized the opportunity to permanently eliminate jobs they never intended to bring back. We're moving toward a society without employees, where two paths emerge: become a temporary worker or become an artist-entrepreneur who creates, innovates, markets and invests. The future belongs to those who understand this fundamental shift and adapt accordingly.
