This book is an inspiring self-help guide divided into two main parts: wealth and happiness. I particularly enjoyed the happiness section. The author emphasizes that we shouldn’t worry about others’ opinions because, in the end, we all face the same fate. This perspective resonated with me deeply.

I also appreciate his idea about paying attention to the present and staying away from distractions. Meditation is suggested as a way to take a break from life, social media, and work pressures. Another concept I like is his emphasis on reading. He suggests that if you enjoy reading, continue to do so, as it contributes to happiness and self-improvement.

To sum up, I pretty enjoyed this book and will read some books that he recommended in it.

Book: The Almanac of Naval Ravikant.

Pages: 244
Genre: Self-help

This book is all about the thoughts of Naval Ravikant on different topics like money, wealth, relationships, Health etc. It consists of pure wisdom, insights, Opinions, Suggestions and practical actions that if you apply will change you forever.
This is a gem of a book, I read it a year ago for the first time and I loved it so much that I never stopped recommending it.

Naval was famous for his tweets and podcasts but reading him is the next level of happiness for me.

I recommend this book to everyone out there, please read this book once in your lifetime. This book has the power to transform you.

“The only way to actually get peace on the inside is by giving up the idea of problems; accept.”

I knew nothing about Naval Ravikant and now I know he is a great and intriguing man. 

At first I struggled to keep reading, but once I put the effort, I actually got into it. 

Well, I wish I could have given a 5 to this book but it’s really just a collection of Naval thoughts and beliefs. And no matter how interesting I find them, the book is missing a narrative, a flow. I hope that one day we will all be able to read a book written by Naval himself.

“A calm mind, a fit body, and a house full of love.
These things cannot be bought.
They must be earned.”

There’s something to be said for practical wisdom, hard-won by experience and the trials of life. The part that deals with wealth is particularly essential to anyone venturing through the world of business and start-ups to better understand the dynamics of the games being played in our modern economy. In short, this book is a compass to what matters and where we should direct our aims and attention at.
