First I want to clarify that the book is not written by Naval himself. It's a collection of his public writings and sayings assembled by Eric Jorgenson.

Overall opinion - The book is kinda chaotic and has some contradicting statements. I find this pretty annoying combined with a lack of explanation in many other places. Despite some views that I don't share I find his work pretty engaging and easy to read.

Before reading, I had never listened to Naval's podcast or read anything about his philosophy. I was greatly surprised as it introduced some new mental models. I find the philosophy chapters more valuable than the wealth part. Within these chapters, he describes Buddhist concepts and his personal beliefs on the topics of existence, happiness, and the meaning of life (the usual suspects).

Good compilation though I realized partway through that Naval mostly seems to just regurgitate things from a bunch of other thinkers

I read this book in about 3 days.

I'd describe this book as self-help business book.

There are some pretty awesome information and good perspective in this book.

It's a pretty revolutionary book if you haven't read many self help books. If you had, you won't find too many revolutionary things in here. It's still a great book overall to read.

You know you have experienced pure bliss when the moment you complete a book and you know you are going to re-read and re-read it for your entire life.
I enjoyed each and every page of the book. The way Naval has explained the concepts of wealth, judgement, happiness, philosophy is worth reading everyday. I love how Naval has shed light on Buddhism and Science. They are a deadly combination. One of those books which I know for sure that I will gift to many people in the years to come.
