Reinvent Yourself is a compendium of useful ideas, teachings, and quotes that the author has garnered from his mentors; popular thought-leaders, performers, and athletes; as well as his own personal experiences–some good, mostly bad.
This book is a good kick in the pants, motivating you to get up do something. Altucher evaluates ideas that have led to past successes, but also provides advice on how to cope with and survive failure.
I was encouraged to become comfortable being uncomfortable, find laughter everyday, and to recover from a failure and restart. This is a valuable toolkit for motivation.
My favorite quotes:
“Unless your work gives you trouble, it is no good.” – Pablo Picasso
“A day without laughter is a day wasted.” – Charlie Chapin
“I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who had practiced one kick 10,000 times.” ― Bruce Lee
