Choose Yourself: The James Altucher Story - Season 1 (2020)

James surrounds himself with three different types of people: Pluses, minuses and equals. Pluses are the people you are able to learn from, like a mentor. An equal is a person who challenges you, like your peers. And a minus is someone you can teach and have an impact on. In this, James gives insight into the importance of all three types of people in your own life.

The worst moments in James' life have been times when he thought he was at the peak of his intelligence. Now his simple mantra, 'I know nothing' has helped him countless times. He says his secret investing technique is to always assume he is the stupidest person in the room so he can learn from everyone around him. It's time to learn the Power of Stupidity.

James shares the 7 habits-like procrastination and 'Do Anything to Get a Yes,' that helped him achieve success in life and business as a self-described 'mediocre' person. Some of these habits, like be a 'Poor Judge of People' may seem counter-intuitive, but James explains why these skills are actually perfect for most people, as they have worked time and time again for him.

Idea Sex is a term James came up with that means two ideas combining into a better idea. James talks about how constantly exercising your idea muscle will make you better and better at coming up with ideas. And for him, constantly coming up with new ideas has changed his life in incredible ways.

Any day you don't focus on your relationships, improvement, and your sense of freedom (which means choosing yourself instead of letting others choose you) is a day you waste in this short life. James shares how living life to the fullest can be done by anyone and doesn't require money. It simply requires making your own decisions and investing in yourself by choosing yourself.
