Blog postI didn’t want her.
I thought to myself, how can I love anyone as much as I love Josie (her older sister)? And then Mollie was born.
When a baby is born this is what happens:
A new one foot tall US citizen moves into your house, can’t speak English, shits on the floor, cries all the time, and then sucks on your wife’s breasts.
A horrible roommate that you are stuck with because she has an 18 year lease.
I loved her three-year-old sister so much, how coul -
Blog postWhen I was a kid, and often now, I felt ugly and different.
Not just for my looks.
But my thoughts, the things that I was interested in that other kids weren’t.
My beliefs.
And, of course, acne, braces, glasses, wild hair, unathletic, didn’t care about sports, was bullied.
I loved TV for often giving me an escape. I wanted to talk to my TV and climb into its world.
And I guess I still do.
This advice came out in 1965… and it’s still so i -
Blog postNews just broke that wealthy, famous parents, including actors, bribed colleges into accepting their children. What’s the real cost of the college admissions scandal? The death of the nation. I’m not a doom and gloom guy. In fact, I’m so optimistic that because of “pessimism bias” many people think I’m stupid. I always think the […]

Blog postAs I’m writing this, I’m about to interview Justice Sonia Sotomayor.
The first time a Supreme Court Justice has ever been on a podcast.
The first, first time.
As usual, I am very nervous. I’m terrified.
I’ve done 500 episodes of “The James Altucher Show” and maybe 1,000 other podcasts but I still get nervous before each one.
EACH one. I always want to cancel about one minute before it starts.
What if the guest doesn’t like me? What if the guest -
Blog postLet me tell you about the worst text I got since publishing my phone number online (and eight other questions from this interview)… 1. With such a varied career, how do you primarily see yourself? As a writer, an entrepreneur, something else…?
Entrepreneurship is too painful. I’ve started over 18 businesses, failed at 16 of them.
Too many employees having sex, too many clients calling at 5pm Friday and saying, “We have to talk” and then disappearing until Monday while I worry -
Blog postThis morning I was very unhappy.
I couldn’t get things done. My mind was bouncing like in a pinball machine. And I hated people in my head.
Hated them!
First, I was thinking of at least two people who had wronged me in the past few months. I kept thinking, “But I did X, Y, and Z for them!”
How dare they!
And yet… they treated me horribly and I put up with it.
I kept thinking in my head of the scoreboard. I did this, they did that, I did this, bu -
Blog postWhen I was 17 I was daydreaming while driving a car. I had just had a chess lesson and beaten my instructor in a surprising way.
He was surprised and quickly reset the pieces so he could have revenge before the lesson was over. But it didn’t matter. I had beaten him! Crushed him. DESTRUCTION!
Then I hit a guy with my car. I went straight through a red light at about 60 miles an hour and hit a station wagon.
Both cars went flying around in circles. All the windows were -
Blog postI didn’t even want her. I loved not having kids.
20 years ago today, all of a sudden, I had this new roommate.
Today is my 20th anniversary as a father. Which also means it’s her 20th birthday. My daughter.
When she first moved in as one of my roommates, she couldn’t even speak English. She would cry all day. She sucked on my wife’s breasts. She broke things. She shat on the floor.
When she was born, it was really inconvenient for me. I had been playing p -
Blog postMy dad had a stroke and never got better. He was in a sort of “awake” coma for two years.
I would visit. He was staring at the ceiling but I don’t know what he saw. Someone had lost his glasses and I knew he was blind without them.
When I first would visit, in year one, sometimes I’d see him twitch or even do a little grunt.
The doctors said he was brain dead but I didn’t believe it. I knew there was someone there. He wanted to get out. He wanted to move.
But g -
Blog postA guy in a suit was strangling a cab driver to death at the airport.
He didn’t want to pay the driver and he was drunk and he thought the cab driver was stealing from him.
The cab driver could barely speak English. The guy in the suit was twisting his head and the driver was struggling.
There was a crowd forming of people attempting to video the fight.
I ran up to them and I pulled out my passport.
I pretended it was something official and yelled, “I’m
