Think Like a Billionaire

De: James Altucher

Narrado por: James Altucher

What do Tyra Banks, Ev Williams, and Richard Branson have in common? If you answered that they’re all extremely wealthy, you’d be right. But you’d also be missing a big part of the story.

James Altucher, the noted entrepreneur, venture capitalist, bestselling author of Choose Yourself, and host of the podcast The James Altucher Show—which has over 40 million downloads—has interviewed 15 of the most successful people in the world to figure out just what makes them tick. And the conclusions might surprise you.

For each of these people, money wasn't their ultimate goal—it was a natural byproduct of following their passions and developing good habits that enabled them to take advantage of their successes and to learn from their failures.

From the founder of Spanx to the entrepreneur behind Home Depot, from a craft beer aficionado to the investors on Shark Tank, these visionaries honed their ideas and creativity, and used what they loved as a compass to guide their curiosity. That curiosity gave them the insights they needed to skip the line, to try new things, to diversify, and to hit the accelerator on their successes.

This isn’t some lofty self-help book. This is about real people who achieved their dreams and gained wealth and influence as a result. As Altucher notes, ultimately it’s not the number in the bank account that defines anyone—it’s asking if you’re living life to the best of your ability.

Ya just gotta love James Altucher!

I appreciated the insights shared by those interviewed and Altucher’s childlike curiosity. If you want to think like a BILLIONAIRE, this audio book is for you!

Listen to this book

This is a great book. I’m just queuing it up for my second listen. I am also going to buy it on Audible so I can take notes and put those in my file

hear it from the mouths of the billionaires

i like the honesty, like when Marc Cuban says his first passion was to get rich, and then did everything they could to make that happen. i didn't like when billionaires pretended that if you do what you love then you'll be successful. it's a complicated formula.

Tons of value from different perspectives

James, another fantastic job. I highly recommend this for everyone, even if you aren’t concerned with becoming a billionaire. It gives great perspective on life and many of the different driving forces through a range of different perspectives from the most elite names in business. Get it. You’ll be happy you did.

I was hooked

What a breath of fresh air! James Altucher is such an engaging person to listen to, and his interview guests were fascinating. I feel wiser and stronger and am more determined than ever to start my own companies (plural). Regardless, this was a really fun read, very impressive.
