This book is another great example of the fact that just because you have a ton of money, doesn’t mean you’re actually intelligent. Every dude you hate who proudly calls himself an “entrepreneur,” despite having done literally nothing to build their own business, probably loves this guy haha
Lots of pieces of wisdom in this short book. The writing is pretty bad, kind of telegraphic, as it is a collection of thoughts, quotes or tweets rather than a fully assembled book. But if you get over the style, I enjoyed a lot of wisdom on how to focus one's life to optimize for the activities and developments we find the most meaningful and rewarding.
The book is a collection of Naval’s tweets and speeches. I didn’t enjoy the unstructured format, I therefore didn’t enjoy the book. I also didn’t think there were new gems of knowledge or thinking. As per Naval’s sage advice, I skimmed the second half of the book. What I actually should have done (as per his even more sage advice) was to DNF this book.

This book has a lot of material collected from Twitter, interviews and other medias. Naval's refreshing presepctive on life was informative to read.
I liked the book, I felt it got really preachy at parts. Nice insights, though.
I scribbled and tick marked all throughout the book, dog marked it and got inspired by it. But never lost sight how its a self help book, albeit one of the better ones on the market. At least this one is honest-ish.
Kinda got "go outside and get some sunlight and think on your feet" vibes
Would I recommend it? Yes and No
Would I reread it? Yes
Was it fun? sure
But yeah
"The ontological fallacy of expecting a light at the end of the tunnel, well, that's what the preacher sells, same as a shrink. See, the preacher, he encourages your capacity for illusion. Then he tells you it's a fucking virtue."
(Its so based and cringe to quote Rust Chole, yes. )

Stopped reading at the 2nd part of the book after the privileged weathly man said that “happiness is a choice”. Gave it two stars bc the advice in the first half about how to obtain wealth was adequate. Let’s not forget that this guy was a young adult during the dot com boom in the 90s which is how he became successful over time.
