“The Almanack of Naval Ravikant”

@naval is one of the great thinkers of our time and this book is a very good guide to wealth, learning and happiness with vast wisdom. A book that I re-read every year.

10 Inspiring lessons from the book 🧵

1) If you have nothing in your life, but you have at least one person that loves you unconditionally, it’ll do wonders for your self-esteem.

2) Earn with your mind,

Not your time!

3) Books make for great friends, because the best thinkers of the last few thousand years tell you their nuggets of wisdom.

4) Play long-term games with long-term people:

All the returns in life, whether in wealth, relationships, or knowledge, come from compound interest.

5) In an age of leverage, one correct decision can win everything.

6) Solve via Iteration.

Then get paid via Repetition.

7) Read what you love until you love to read.

The means of learning are abundant – it’s the desire to learn that is scarce.

8) When working, surround yourself with people more successful than you.

When playing, surround yourself with people happier than you.

9) Read everything you can. Develop a love for it. There’s no such thing as junk. Just read it all.

Eventually, you’ll guide yourself to the things that you should and want to be reading.

10) Inspiration is perishable – act on it immediately.
