I first got introduced to this proud father, entrepreneur and New York times best selling author James Altucher a little over 18 months ago. At a truly challenging time in my life, they’d broken into my girlfriends car and stolen my bag pack which contained 8 months of research for my book, my passport and ID, and i almost went to prison. All in the very same month. And in the spirit of seeking a way to stop feeling crappy. I came across his blog post on www.Jamesaltucher.com while browsing on the Internet, including tons of interviews he’d been doing for the past few years – since then I’ve pretty much read all of his work.
