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.
