Why read it?

2 authors picked Skip the Line as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Skip the Line literally changed my perception of human potential. His deep dive into the path to achieving any goal exposes his secrets of success and failure. He has been a multi-millionaire and broke. James leaves nothing to chance or imagination in giving his step-by-step ideas and examples of how he broke through the commonly accepted limitations on steps to bold change. His style is self-effacing and so real that the story drags you in and you absolutely can not put it down.

James Altucher has produced a gem. It is full of discrete shortcuts that anyone interested in finding success in business can apply to get where they’re going faster. I learned to brainstorm every day, to read often, and to work on ideas in parallel. I also appreciate that he recommends publishing early and often rather than overthinking and agonizing over every blog post and tweet. Just let it go, but have a plan, and be strategic. If that sounds contradictory, then you too should read the book. The beauty is in the nuance.

From Ryan's list on how to start a side hustle.
