I loved it for the nuggets of wisdom. I wish there was a structured process that could be derived out of the narration. Nonetheless, a conclusive book that drives the point that success is not the outcome of random meeting of luck, money and influential network. It lies at the intersection of sincerity, hard work and a positive belief system!

The audiobook sounded like the interview of a successful investor/ entrepreneur. The website is truly an almanac of things Naval seems to be fond of.

It was okay, overly hyped maybe. Felt like a podcast made into a book.

I would recommend this book to everyone. Naval has great thoughts on finances, meaning, health and happiness. This reads a little clunky bc of the aggregation but overall an incredible resource. The return on time investment is high. I pulled my favorite portions into a blog post that I can look back on - or you can use as a 5 minute preview. https://shelbygreads.wordpress.com/2022/12/01/the-almanack-of-naval-ravikant/

Loved this book

It's about intellectual curiosity
Playing long term games with long term people
Self-improvement
Meditation
Compounding everything - Relationships, work, personal life, habits
Different types of luck and how to systematise your luck and risk
Health

Great general book, on everything I am interested in


One of the most over-rated books I've eve read.... theres nothing new or original. So many repetitions of the same few points.... also it has nothing to do with wealth building.... if you have read a handful of self help and finance-advice related books, this book is worthless to you.... making a book out of a few tweets of another person and quoting Osho, Charlie Munger and Buddha in evry page is so plagiarized...

It was like Naval was speaking to me…
Oh wait… he did

A book that made me think at times, resonated at times, challenged my beliefs at times and other times made me just go through.
Some very powerful thoughts that resonated, clicked, made me pause and reflect.
Am glad I read it. One big thing missing is naval refers to failures but author never mentions his even in passing .
I would love to re read portions of this book.
Some hard truths said as they are .
Go for it .
