Look at this guy.

I've studied all of his interviews.

Here are 7 of Naval's best pieces of advice (that will change your life)🧵: 1) We Choose To Be Miserable

Your nervous system did not evolve to handle constant stimulation.

You need to do a hard reset to fix it.

560 million people worldwide struggle with it.

40 million Americans suffer from it.

But what is social anxiety?

It's the intense fear of being judged, rejected, or humiliated.

Your brain treats social situations like physical danger.

You've been lied to.

Depression isn't a mental illness that you cure by taking pills only.

Your body has natural healing mechanisms. When activated, you can naturally heal from it.

Naval Ravikant shocked Silicon Valley:

He turned down billions in VC money, lived like a monk, and built a $600M fortune using ONE controversial philosophy.

The elite called him crazy until they saw his results.

Naval's blueprint for creating wealth that nobody talks about🧵: Hard Work Is Overrated.

Getting rich isn't about how hard you work—it's about what you do, how you do it, and when to do it.

If you don't know what to do, that's the first thing you should figure out.

The last thing you want is to spend 15 years grinding in a career you hate.

This is Gary Stevenson.

• The best trader in the world
• Made $300M+ by trading for Citi Bank
• Humiliated Pierce Morgan in an interview

He said "Newer generations will never own a home because of wealth inequality"

Chronic anxiety, self-doubt and overthinking controlled me my entire life.

But then I discovered Jordan Peterson and his Harvard lectures and it changed my life.

Here's why you should start writing (and create a life that's meaningful and brings you fulfillment): 1) Writing Helps You Think Better

The first step to getting what you want is making better decisions.

You make better decisions when you think better.

You think better when you write more.

You don't need to be a professional writer to get the benefits of writing.

The world's greatest music producer:

Rick Rubin.

He's the genius behind Jay Z, Eminem, & Kanye's greatest songs.

But he doesn't know anything about music and is $300 million.

His 7 lessons on becoming a creative genius (even if you're not one): "I have no technical ability and I know nothing about music"

The internet made traditional education outdated.

Creative people are the best when it comes to intuition—the traditional educational system only numbs your genius.

Creativity ≠ productivity machine.

You've been lied to.

Here are his 7 lessons for eternal happiness: "Dreams are often most profound when they seem the most crazy"

"Crazy" people are the ones who are alive.

Break it down into small steps. Execute daily.

The man who can print money on demand:

Seth Godin.

It's impossible to not succeed in business after these lessons.

Here are his 8 most powerful lessons to (almost) print money on demand: "Marketing is no longer about the stuff you make, but about the stories you tell.”

Sell stories, not products.

Jordan Peterson.

Depression, anxiety, and overthinking controlled me my entire life.

But his teachings helped me beat them.

Here's his 8-step process for living a better life: Take Responsibility.

Meaning and purpose come from voluntarily taking on more responsibility.

This isn't about suffering, it's about building a character.

The most powerful skill that schools never taught you:

Storytelling.

Nike, Apple, and Disney all use storytelling to sell.

But most people don't know how to tell a story that sells.

Here's a 7-step storytelling framework that Nike uses (that you can too):
The Hero:

Great stories have a character you want to root for.

And audiences love nothing more than a story of an underdog.

For Nike, their hero is you—someone who wants to become great.

This is done by defining who is your Hero.

Here's an example of their hero:

This is J.K Rowling.

At 32 she was a single mom struggling to pay her bills.
