The Almanack of Naval Ravikant

A Guide to Wealth and Happiness

By: Eric Jorgenson, Naval Ravikant, Tim Ferriss - introduction

Narrated by: Vikas Adam

Includes bonus audio featuring an exclusive conversation with Naval Ravikant.

Getting rich is not just about luck; happiness is not just a trait we are born with. These aspirations may seem out of reach, but building wealth and being happy are skills we can learn.

So what are these skills, and how do we learn them? What are the principles that should guide our efforts? What does progress really look like?

Naval Ravikant is an entrepreneur, philosopher, and investor who has captivated the world with his principles for building wealth and creating long-term happiness.

The Almanack of Naval Ravikant is a collection of Naval’s wisdom and experience from the last ten years, shared as a curation of his most insightful interviews and poignant reflections.

This isn’t a how-to book, or a step-by-step gimmick. Instead, through Naval’s own words, you will learn how to walk your own unique path toward a happier, wealthier life.

This book has been created as a public service. It is available for free download in pdf and e-reader versions on Navalmanack.com. Naval is not earning any money on this book. Naval has essays, podcasts and more at Nav.al and is on Twitter @Naval.

Insightful synthesis of mindfulness and the pursuit of wealth and health

Although I found myself disagreeing with certain statements, like men don’t say out loud that they want women who are physically attractive, a statement I think is violently untrue, much of Naval’s beliefs resonated. I love his values and really wish there were more people in the world like him.

Mostly Opinion of Collection of Thoughts / Autobiography - "Health, Love, Mission"

I didnt know what who the author was but after listening, you can understand why he became an extremely wealthy man. His rules thoughts and insights on broad topics like Health, Love, & Mission help shape the ideas shared throughout the audiobook. Business minded / Personal life improvement stuff in general. Its a decent addition to your library, just as a reminder that some can be from a different world and operate differently than you. Come with an open mind and get some usable insights in return. the book wont change your life but provide some perspective to perhaps improve it in return.

I wasted my time

This book is so shallow.. possibly makes Naval seem less intelligent than he might be in real life. This is the book of a bad guru. Ironically, it talks about not reading “junk” books, but this book is exactly that

Simpleton Effort

Pedestrian, obvious and self-congratulatory. Plain, boring and uninspiring. Extremely disappointing and not at all insightful or even that intelligent.
