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."

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.

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.
“A taste of freedom can make you unemployable.”

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.

Lot of golden nuggets cramped into a small book.planning to re read it once again after a while.
