The Almanack of Naval Ravikant: A Guide to Wealth and Happiness by Eric Jorgenson
5.0
5 Stars // Naval Ravikant is somewhat of a modern philosopher and guru for entrepreneurs. He rose to fame in recent years due to being a successful angel-investor and became even more mainstream after several appearances on Joe Rogans and Tim Ferriss’ podcasts.
He frequently shares his wisdom on Twitter and is, overall, very well-read and outspoken of his ideas. He had some, for my taste, too unbalanced opinions on Covid within the last couple of years, but this hot issue aside, he is still someone I listen to closely whenever he is on a podcast or gives an interview.
The author of this book then, Eric Jorgenson, combed through the internet to thoroughly search for every nugget of wisdom that Naval has shed over the years. He wanted to curate an ultimate ‘best-of’ album of Navals tweets, interviews and ideas. In my mind, this is an absolute fantastic and quick read, full of spot-on take-aways about the bigger workings of life. Rarely did I highlight so much in a book as with this Almanac.
For anyone who has some sort of entrepreneurial mind, this is a full 5 stars. What I like about it is that Naval is capable of breaking down complex workings into simple phrases that always get to the core of the issue and are in no way sugarcoated. For some people, this might then come off as a bit ‘bro-sciencey’, as in: they might feel like Navals ideas lack the depth or applicability and just be a lot of hot air. Overall though, this is a great collection of take-aways for entrepreneurs, investors, freelancers and people who have just a general deep interest in life. The best part: It’s a free eBook that works on a donation basis, so I have put the link in the description below and you should definitely check it out.
