The Almanack of Naval: Practical Insights for Modern Living

This week, I’m diving into The Almanack of Naval Ravikant—a collection of timeless wisdom from one of the most profound thinkers of our time.

Curated by Eric Jorgenson, the book distills Naval’s thoughts on wealth, happiness, and living a meaningful life.

From actionable principles on building financial freedom to deeper insights about personal fulfillment, these snippets are sure to leave you inspired to rethink your approach to success and happiness.

Stay curious as we explore Naval’s unique blend of philosophy, practicality, and timeless advice.

1. Making money is not a thing you do—it’s a skill you learn.

2. You should not grind at a lot of hard work until you figure out what you should be working on.

3. If you don’t know yet what you should work on, the most important thing is to figure it out.

4. Seek wealth, not money or status. Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep.

5. Understand ethical wealth creation is possible. If you secretly despise wealth, it will elude you.

6. Ignore people playing status games.

7. You’re not going to get rich renting out your time.

8. You must own equity—a piece of a business—to gain your financial freedom.

9. You will get rich by giving society what it wants but does not yet know how to get. At scale.

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

11. Learn to sell. Learn to build. If you can do both, you will be unstoppable.
