The Almanack of Naval Ravikant

Eric Jorgenson

This book pulls together Naval Ravikant’s ideas from interviews, tweets, and essays. One half is about building wealth: leverage and specific knowledge. The other half is about living well: happiness, clear thinking, and not tying who you are to any one outcome. It is more like a set of notes than a single story.

It reads more like a set of notes than a single argument, which suits the material. Some ideas clicked straight away, others I had to sit with. I kept coming back to the parts on compounding, accountability, and not tying your identity to any one outcome.
