    About this audiobook

    The entrepreneur, angel investor, and bestselling author of Choose Yourself busts the 10,000-hour rule of achieving mastery, offering a new mindset and dozens of techniques that will inspire any professional—no matter their age or managerial level—to pursue their passions and quickly acquire the skills they need to succeed and achieve their dreams.

    We live in a hierarchical world where experience has traditionally been the key to promotion. But that period is over! Straight, clear-cut career trajectories no longer exist. Industries disappear, job descriptions change, and people’s interests and passions evolve. The key to riding this wave, entrepreneur James Altucher advises, is to constantly be curious about what’s next, to be comfortable with uncertainty so you can keep navigating the rough waters ahead, and most important, to pursue the things that interest you.

    In Skip the Line, he reveals how he went from struggling and depressed to making his personal, financial, and creative dreams come true, despite—and perhaps due to—his many failures along the way. Altucher combines his personal story with concrete—and unorthodox—insights that work. But Skip the Line isn’t about hacks and shortcuts—it’s about transforming the way you think, work, and live, letting your interests guide your learning, time, and resources. It’s about allowing yourself to do what comes naturally; the more you do what you love, the better you do it. While showing you how to approach change and crisis, Altucher gives you tools to help easily execute ideas, become an expert negotiator, attract the attention of those around you, scale promising ideas, and improve leadership—all of which will catapult you higher than you ever thought possible and at a speed that everyone will tell you is impossible.

      Genius ideas, radical thinking in a good way. A little scattered sounding and repetitive at a couple parts. But overall inspiring and super helpful. He cuts the crap and tells it how it really is.

      I was hungry and needed a way to feed myself and my family. I was so bored during the pandemic of 2020 that I wrote this book about me and my experiences.

      There’s always inspiration and practical actions to take from James Altucher. I appreciate his understanding of life and how well he communicates it through his own voice which brings out his personality. Easy to listen to and get the mind flowing out ideas. Useful book to put into practice to improve your life. He also name drops other books that inspired him. The author shares knowledge. That’s one of the many things that makes this worth listening to.

      This read felt like I sat with James Altucher for a day and he shared his life with me with so many valuable lessons. I am glad I read this book at this stage in Meck Health.
