The world is changing. Markets have crashed. Jobs have disappeared. Industries h
ave been disrupted and are being remade before our eyes. Everything we aspired t
o for "security," everything we thought was "safe," no longer is: College. Emplo
yment. 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 t
o 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 oppo
rtunities are rising out of the ashes of the broken system to generate real inwa
rd success (personal happiness and health) and outward success (fulfilling work
and wealth). This book will teach you to do just that. With dozens of case studi
es, interviews and examples-including the author, investor and entrepreneur Jame
s Altucher's own heartbreaking and inspiring story-Choose Yourself illuminates y
our personal path to building a bright, new world out of the wreckage of the old
.
