With James Altucher, May 8th 18.30-20.
All limbs of yoga point us to the present moment, but sometimes being here and now is difficult if we have no money to pay the rent. Being in the world but not of it is a skill that needs practice just like asana or the yamas. In this talk we will explore how being on the floor and broken can lead to new beginnings.
James Altucher has mastered the yoga of failure. After being thrown out of graduate school, going broke repeatedly, losing family, friends, fortune, home, and his will to live again and again, he finally found a way to get off the floor and….I don’t know. He’ll explain it at the talk. Meantime, here’s the bio he gives everyone else:
- James Altucher attended graduate school in computer science from Carnegie-Mellon. His first company, Reset, build web sites, software, and strategies for Fortune 500 companies including HBO, American Express, Time Warner, Disney, etc and was sold in 1998.
- After that James went on to start start, sell, and also fail at many more companies. He has written 11 books on investing, entrepreneurship, and happiness, including, “I Was Blind But Now I See”. His most active writing is his updates at his blog, jamesaltucher.com.
James has also travelled to India to study at the K Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute twice, has done two other week-long sessions with Sharath, and has been a regular practitioner of yoga despite the fact that he has trouble touching his toes. Nevertheless, he attempts to practice all eight limbs of yoga and sometimes even the secret ninth that nobody ever told you about. All of this while still paying the rent.
