abookcourtofdreams 's review for:
The Almanack of Naval Ravikant: A Guide to Wealth and Happiness
by Eric Jorgenson
I devoured this book. I would have highlighted every single word written. This book is basically a collection of Naval's thoughts and learnings throughout his life. And it's a book that I will probably reread once a year. Yes, it is that good.
"Be yourself, with passionate intensity."
"Health, love, and your mission. In that order. Nothing else matters."
"If you hurt other people because they have expectations of you, that is their problem."
"You're going to die one day, and none of this is going to matter. So enjoy yourself. Do something positive."
"Peace is happiness at rest, and happiness is peace in motion."
"The fundamental delusion: there is something out there that will make me happy and fulfilled forever."
"If you can't decide, the answer is no."
"Praise specifically, criticize generally."
"Retirement is when you stop sacrificing today for an imaginary tomorrow."
"Earn with your mind, not your time."
"What is the foundation required for me to learn this?" Learn basics well. Understanding the foundation of a topic is most important.
"Learn to sell. Learn to build. If you can do both, you will be unstoppable."
