(2.5/5) As far as intro to self-help goes, I'd recommend this over... actually I don't know over what. I don't have a point of reference. It's not a bad book, it just wasn't for me. I've read so many self-help/productivity books over the years, so I'm definitely not the target audience for this. My suggestion -- if you're the target audience -- is to listen to Naval's interview on the Knowledge Project Podcast. If you're into that, then come to this. If not, give it a pass. Either way, it's more of the same.

An excellent book, a compilation of Naval's podcasts, interviews, writings. I can't believe this book is for free. Big thanks to Eric Jorgenson.

Naval is a very interesting person. He's an unending source of inspiration and knowledge. I've heard him on Joe Rogan and that's why I picked up this book. His way of life is fascinating to say the least.

Must read for everyone. Period.

I enjoyed reading this. I mostly agree to how he defines happiness. I knew from the way he views life that he applies The Power of Now taught by Eckhart Tolle. Like him, 'freedom from' is what I also learned to value in life. There are many things to say. First, that foreword by Tim Ferriss is not just a marketing tactic. Second, the figures or graphics, whatever you call it, is genius! I loved it. I might add this to my shelf just because of that. Lastly, Naval Ravikant is a man of few words but content rich.

I finished this book in a couple of days as it was compelling yet fun to read, had some great insights, without getting too preachy. Broadly he covers two areas: money and health and talks about how both are important yet largely personal.

Another in the genre of self-help so many concepts must be repeated in other books too. The reason I recommend this is the writing style along with the inputs. It’s crisply worded and hence easy to digest.

One of the books where I would like to hear reactions from others as much as sharing mine. :)
