Ugh, it’s Memorial Day (when I am writing this). I’m one of those people who for four generations at least have zero experience at war. I was too young or old to be in any Gulf War. My dad was 5 when WWII started so too young for Korea and too old for Vietnam. And […]

I just self-published a book. “How to Be the Luckiest Person Alive”. I published it in paperback form, kindle, and free PDF (see directions below to get free PDF). The entire process took me three weeks. Using an established publisher would’ve taken over a year. [Important note:Since this post was written I have also self-published […]

Every night at about 2 or 3 in the morning I wake up in enormous pain. The pain gets worse every day. This has happened for about two years. It’s a straight line of pain that goes from one side of my stomach to the other. Sometimes the pain is so great I can’t sleep […]

I’m on a news diet. News is bad for your mental sanity. It makes me depressed. Someone is always dying. There’s always misery and pain someplace. And its usually vicarious, like, “there but for the grace of god go I”, on every cover. Its not like the news is lies. Its reality, spread out like […]

Four or five years ago, a reader of some of my columns bought the domain name jamesaltucher.com and gave it to me as a birthday gift. It was a total surprise to me. I didn’t even know the reader. I hope one day we meet. Two years ago a friend of mine, Tim Sykes, insisted […]

I felt bad about how I mentioned the other day about Yitz Grossman going “away”. Someone wrote me afterwards and said I got the facts all wrong and that Yitz was one of the most generous, charitable people he knew. Yitz helped me sell my first company back in 1998. He was always very fair […]
