it might be early to say this, but this is probably the best book i’ve read this year. such a page-turner, reading this book feels like new knowledge being spoon-fed to my mind, and i am here for it.

the first part of the book discusses generating wealth through creating one’s own source of specific knowledge, and providing it to society at scale. the second half touches upon practicing happiness, which is a skill to be harnessed and maintained.

bonus, the book includes a list of worthy reading recommendations in the end, which is a cherry-on-top, no doubt.

actual rating: 4.52/5☆

Disregarding all the irreligious concepts, this is one of the best self-help books I've read.

Best thing about it is that unlike most self-help books, there's almost no repetitive lectures.

Glad to read this after Marcus Aurelius' Meditations. Naval applies and mentions some of the philosophies. I'm also thinking about picking up Sapiens again, just because it's one of his suggested books.

This book is really compact - like reading all the ff books at the same time:
Atomic Habits
The Psychology of Money
Ikigai
Deep Work
Man's Search for Meaning
As a Man Thinketh

Glad I've already ordered a printed copy.
