4.0

An easy read with a lot of wisdom inside. Just makes me want to read loads more (which, I suppose, is exactly what Naval would have wanted). Definitely a thinking book, lots to chew on!

Inspirational and kind of the Tao of modern life. If I could advise my 20 years old me, it would be to read that book. Nevertheless the philosophy inside is for life. It's kind of the essence of Naval lifetime with a lot of references that you can follow on.

Big thanks to the friend of mine who put it in my hands! I suppose the curiosity drove me to that point. It's never too late, read that book

Masterpiece. Everyone should read this multiple times

Felt a little cult-y, basically a bunch of aphorisms strung together. If it hadn’t been so short, probably would have gone on the DNF pile. 

This is not a traditional book as Naval didn’t write it, but the compilation of his work (tweets, blogs) by Eric Jorgenson. As such, compiling and editing should have been better, the book doesn't have the flow and jumps from topic to topic.

Although there are some admittedly brilliant insights, I don't really buy into the fact that everything he says is the gospel. In general, an interesting read.

I'll have to say that this book will definitely go to my top 100 books to keep and to be re-read. Great advice that will have an over lasting impact in my life.
