Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
The Choose Yourself Guide To Wealth
James Altucher · 2015
58/100
👎 Skip It
Altucher's idea machine concept is the real gem here and genuinely worth your attention — the rest of the book is more sprawl than substance. The disorganized structure, editing issues, and unverified investment claims undercut whatever contrarian credibility the author builds. Extract the idea-generation habit and skip the investment advice.
