Book Review

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 thought that such a mind exists, and we can know about it, learn from it and grow from it, is absolutely amazing.

Extremely easy read, talks a lot about Wealth, Happiness and philosophy. It is also a great getaway to other media, which includes a full chapter to recommended reading.

Naval has the scarce ability to express ideas on a to the point and thoughtful manner.

Sharing Few quotes quotes that I really loved –

“Making money is not a thing you do – it’s a skill you learn.”

“Yes, hard work matters, and you can’t skimp on it. But it has to be directed in the right way.”

“The best jobs are neither decreed nor degreed. They are creative expressions of continuous learners in free markets.”

“If it entertains you now but will bore you someday, it’s a distraction. Keep looking.”

“We waste our time with short-term thinking and busywork. Warren Buffett spends a year deciding and a day acting. That act lasts decades.”

This book is filled with many more amazing quotes. I’ll highly recommend this one. You can also download a free copy from his website.
