James. I love you.

I just read your book, and the honesty was so goddamn refreshing I could scream. I seriously want to run screaming into my stupid dorms with all the insecure freshman and yell “Wake up you sheep!”

But anyway, I want to thank you. I used to be pretty honest with my blog posts before I decided to try my hand at professionally blogging (the ebook, the affiliate links, the whole thing). Now I think I’m going to go back to being honest again. I’ve spent most of my life being fake, and I don’t want to spend the rest of it being fake too.

Thank you.

I’m struck by your reference to ‘personal honesty’ & ‘historical is hysterical for some’. It would be great to hear your thoughts on how to prepare for points 1 and 2. I’ve found that type of rejection and or absence of words speaking so loudly it’s at times the hardest aspect to bear. Incredibly valuable piece, Thank you.

As the saying goes ” truth will set you free ” it didn’t say it was going to be easy, but any lie, anything that is done in darkness comes to light – so when you lie you may be getting away with quick, short little victories ( if you want to call them that) but in the long run as someone stated in a previous post in will catch up and weigh you down. When you make the decision to come clean with the lie and set the truth straight with yourself, no doubt family, friends, colleagues etc will stop talking to you or avoid you or whatever the case may be but that’s only because the truth wasn’t set in the first place. I really dig you Mr Altucher your blogs ring loud and clear many truths.

Truth in marketing is a polarizing thing. And that is always good. I was once told that you have to not care about anyone else than your bulls-eye market and that if you get customers that don't fit that description, it's a bonus as they will find what they want in your marketing message. It's all about the USP. _____________________________________ gold ira rollover

I am currently dealing with what I think may be a chronic liar. Almost everything that comes out of this person’s mouth is a lie: mafia connections, an IQ of 160, Turkish prisons. The list goes on and on. I wish it were true, but some of it seems so far fetched. I can’t stand it anymore, but not because of the fact it’s completely ridiculous, but because of the fact every time I listen to him I am PART of the lie. If I don’t call him on it I am condoning it. But once I do call him on it, he comes up with more lies, then I start doubting myself. But I guess this is the nature of the beast. Either way, it brings out the liar in me. I want to live an honest life. If I don’t, I will succumb to even more failure and less success. Not to mention if I have any more to do with this person I’ll be risking my own future.

Brian,

That is a fact of life. If someone is constantly being defensive of how honest they are, their very own opinions may not even be honest.

I think this post is a great example of Depressive Realism.
