1/ The Almanack of Naval Ravikant by - Eric Jorgenson (@EricJorgenson)

Book Summary & Notes
@naval
(Thread)
2/ Short Summary

A bible based on Naval (@naval). Understand his thoughts on building wealth, happiness, good judgement, and life philosophy.
Easily the most comprehensive, and detailed view of Naval’s thoughts. And all offered for free! Amazing resource.
3/ Main Takeaways

Building Wealth

I like to think that if I lost all my money and you dropped me on a random street in any English-speaking country, within five or ten years I’d be wealthy again because it’s just a skill set I’ve developed that anyone can develop.

These 50 Ideas Will Change your Life

(Thread)
1. Inversion: Avoiding stupidity is easier than trying to be brilliant. Instead of asking, “How can I help my company?” you should ask, “What’s hurting my company the most and how can I avoid it?” Identify obvious failure points, and steer clear of them.
2. Doublespeak: People often say the opposite of what they mean, especially in political language. It allows people to lie while looking like they’re telling the truth. As George Orwell famously wrote in 1984, “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.”

1/ The Best Startup Advice You’ll Ever Receive

(Thread)
2/ Brit Morin (@brit)

Start something you’re genuinely passionate about.
I think the most important thing is to make sure the business you want to start is something you are *personally* passionate about, not just a big business idea.
3/ You have to fight and grind every single day, and you’ll be less likely to give up during the hard times if it’s something you deeply care about.

1/ What are Cool Cats(@coolcatsnft) ?

Cool Cats are derived from Blue Cat, the primary character created by Colin “thecatoonist” over 10 years ago

(Thread)
2/ Colin aka “Clon” has spent years perfecting the line weight, ear height, and whisker length of Blue Cat to finally get him to its undeniably cool and cute final form.
3/ Blue Cat has had some degree of success making debuts in some small art shows and pockets of the internet but has never garnered the attention he truly deserved.
