I’ve read this book via Audible, I’ll definitely be reading it via kindle now. It deserve a re-read. The content resonated with me in so many ways. I’m really into his way of viewing life and how wealth, happiness and health correlate.
This book collects and organizes the pieces of wisdom Naval Ravikant has shared through Twitter, blog posts, and podcasts, and shows you how to achieve the same for yourself.
I intend to revisit this guide at specific times when I feel demotivated or unhappy or looking for new ways to earn wealth.

Hooter: A compilation of Angel Investor Naval Ravikant's tweets and insights on wealth creation and personal happiness.
For starters, wealth and happiness are two sections in this book and not intertwined incase someone thought the same based on the title. That said because it is a compilation and not a self written book, the biggest plus this book has it goes away from "My perspective of the world is awesome hence I am successful and you should see how I did well through that perspective" complex that a lot of self help books do down with. Instead here it is a series of statements and insights that Naval made through his tweets / tweetstorms and the background to why in a concise manner. This book is packed a with truckload of ideas so I am sure to refer back to it time and again to see if there are ideas I can leverage for the challenges I face at that point in time versus having stored all that info in my head.
Couple of major takeaways start off with "learn to love to read" and don't read purely because it is cool to do or a chore because that is where information seemingly is available. Breadth is important but depth is even more. So focus on one, build depth, move on to next and build depth and so on.
Money is not wealth is another key takeaway.
Another big plus is the author is giving away the ebook for free so easily distribution channels for anyone who is interested. Let me know if you need a copy too.

Re-read in 2024: This time listened on audio. Again, it had some great messages. Might re-read it again sometime soon.
2021: Great book. Unlike some popular non-fiction books which keep on repeating the message, this book touched upon some great and important messages. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
A beautiful quote that the author quoted by Homer, The Iliad: “Any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we're doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.”
