How to Reinvent Yourself: Uncommon Advice from Will Smith, Dan Bilzerian, and More to Help You Lead an Uncommon Life

Thousands of people trust me to bring them the absolute best book recommendations I can each week.

To do that, I go through the list of 1,000+ books that I’ve read and pick out the most unforgettable reads that have stood the test of time.

But there’s only so much that I can fit into one email without overwhelming people!

So, what I’ve been doing is publishing the “long” version of those emails here, and sending the short version to my email subscribers, same as always.

If you’d like to sign up for my email reading list but haven’t yet, you can do so here, and I have even more book reviews, recommendations, and reading tips on my YouTube channel.

I also treat my email subscribers VERY well, so I send them valuable extras that you can only get if you’re subscribed. (Join here!)

Today we’re taking a look at:

1 — Reinvent Yourself, by James Altucher

2 — Will, by Will Smith and Mark Manson

3 — The Saviors of God, by Nikos Kazantzakis

4 — The Setup, by Dan Bilzerian

5 — Too Loud a Solitude, by Bohumil Hrabal

A short summary of each book is below, along with some of the best notes that I’ve personally taken from them.

And as always, the rest of my notes and summaries for the 1,000+ books that I’ve read are all available on my Patreon.

Enjoy!

Summary:

This book keeps reinventing itself as it goes along, and, while it’s not exactly a book I “can’t stop thinking about,” I was able to find plenty of useful ideas here, and several that occupied my mind for hours.

It’s about reinvention, obviously, but since it’s mostly a collection of Altucher’s various blog posts, there were a few entries in here that were just tenuously tied to the topic of reinvention.
