I'm not the type of person to read these types of books. As a person who has a very anti-capitalist background I kept finding great points in the how to get wealthy part I've heard lengthy critiques of. However he is right, it's a great way to become very rich. 
As for the judgement part I really admired it! I can see myself returning to that part, as well as the happiness part again. With this said and done, I think it's a great book, and so I'll give it 3,75 stars. Thank you for making this book!

Loved the wealth part of this book. Lots of great insights about how Naval looks at value and investing. The happiness and philosophy could have been structured a little better with regards to chapter content and objective.

I wish I had read this book sooner. 
It’s well compiled and informative. 
I will re-read it. 
The books to read section was definitely an add on bonus and surprise element.

Wow, just wow! I am in awe of the information revealed in this novel. Most of the things mentioned in this would have been mentioned to you from prior encounters with the topics, but the execution is what matters. Focus on the message and not the messenger, I believe from what I have read that a lot of pressure can be put on the reader to take in everything on the first read or listen because of the work of Naval Ravikant. Other than that, a lot of amazing takeaways on the side of happiness and finance, he said that happiness is when health, wellness, and finance are aligned, and to work in finance means to do it well and to view yourself as the best to ever do it because there is no competition than the one you create. Nobody can do what you do and you cannot do what people do, you can be the best because you believe in yourself that way. This was a very insightful, amazing read. I love that we got book recommendations at the end, that is how recommendations should be given. Many people should take note from that.  

QUOTES THAT STUCK OUT TO ME!
"If you cannot make a decision, the answer is no." 
"I am into things with short-term pain and long-term gain." 
"Happiness is learned." 
"Happiness is a skill you develop and a choice you make." 
"First you know it, then you can learn it, then you can understand it, and then you can feel it."
