A nicely stitched together collection of Naval Ravikant's wisdom that's gathered from tweets, podcasts, blogs, interviews, etc... Ravikant is a really wise dude. He has some original ideas such as "specific knowledge." Nobody can compete with you in being you. Better to hone in on your natural abilities, your natural interests. Trying to be someone else you will never win.

Happiness is a skill to be learned. Or rather, unhappiness must be unlearned.

Read what you love until you love to read.

Gather mental models.

Start with the originals, the classics. First Darwin, then Dawkins.

This book was highly recommended by many, yet it was still able to exceed all of my expectations. Essentially, the book is a collection of the tweets, philosophies, and writings of Naval organized by topic.

Key takeaways:

1. Prioritize health so that you can enjoy wealth.

2. Wealth is built through assets. The internet has opened up so many opportunities to create something that can provide value over time with no additional effort - books, podcasts, YouTube videos.

I found myself in agreement with most stuff I read here, it was highly enlightening as well. I learnt more about myself and gained more clarity on what I want. Although I feel I am not on the same page as him, like some of the stuff he has said regarding taking a paleo diet and doing intermittent fasting.

I bought and listened to this on audible. But I love that this book is available for free on the website in pdf.

This book is filled with thoughts and insights, but nothing original. When reading, it feels like you are a bystander to Navals intense love making with himself. I feel like young aspiring entrepreneurs is eating this up like Naval is a great thinker. Yes there is some value in the book, but nothing new, the book makes Naval come across as a self obsessed millionaire that probably loves to hear himself speak.

There are some few nuggets, that's why I gave it 2 stars.
