Part II: James Altucher Headline/Book Naming Contest
Posted By Barry Ritholtz On July 6, 2011 @ 7:56 pm In Humor,Web/Tech | 13 Comments
James Altucher has a new eBook out, titled How to Be the Luckiest Person Alive! [1] (next week, we’ll publish a chapter).
I was discussing the book with James, and jokingly said we should have a Altucher-like title contest. He liked the idea so much, we decided to run a contest to select the title of his next book/blog post.
The 20 best suggestions will get a free hard copy of How to Be the Luckiest Person Alive! [1].
For those of you who may never have read an Altucher Confidential [2] post, you learn to immediately recognize his work by the zany headlines:
- Is it bad that I originally wanted my first kid to be aborted? [3]
- Why I Am Never Going to Own a Home Again [4]
- How I Sold My First Company to the Son of the Man Who Killed Hitler [5]
- I Want My Daughters to Be Lesbians [6]
- Online porn, twitter, and my very personal addiction [7]
- The One Week Heroin Addict [8]
- 10 Reasons You Should Never Own Stocks Again [9]
- Suicide, and 13 Other Ways to Deal with Failure [10]
The contest:
The best headlines you can think of in the very-imitable Altucher style is what we are looking for.
The rules are simple: We are looking for the best ideas in the whacky Altucher ouevre.
A troika of myself, James & Josh Brown will make the call as to the top 20 that make us laugh. Best entries will win a copy of How to Be the Luckiest Person Alive! [1]
