The Almanack of Naval Ravikant is a collection of Naval’s wisdom and experience from the last ten years, shared as a curation of his most insightful interviews and poignant reflections. This isn’t a how-to book, or a step-by-step gimmick. Instead, through Naval’s own words, you will learn how to walk your own unique path toward a happier, wealthier life.
So excited about this. Ordered the Kindle already, but any plans for an Audible/audio book version, @ericjorgenson?
Super stretch ask: Naval ASMR zen wisdom version. Given that this is 2020, I figure nothing is off the table now.
@knavarrete91 Yep! It's very focused on clear principles, such as "buy or build equity in a business" and "use your specific knowledge" and "find a position of leverage" It should get some creative ideas going, and includes some examples and definitions that I found quite helpful in thinking about this.
Created this book over the past 3 years by deconstructing everything Naval has shared and compiling into one insight-dense, organized, readable resource that feels simple, clear, and intimate.
Paperback, Hardcovers, and Kindle are available on Amazon now. The full content of the book is also freely available on the website, pdf, mobi, epub: Navalmanack.com
@chrismessina Yes! Created with not just permission but cooperation :)

Part way through. Enjoying it. Lots to think about. And despite listening to Naval on many podcasts, seeing everything in a logical order (with Jack's great illustrations) is really helping me get my head around it all.
I am biased for multiple reasons (know Eric and Naval and Tim and helped pub the book), but I think this book is absolutely fantastic and I recommend it to everyone now.
@ericjorgenson This book is f*%$ amazing! Two decades of knowledge packed into one book. I'm an author myself and this is one of the best books I've ever read. Thank you. You are excellent. Pure genius putting this together.

The building of wealth and living happily are novel, but incompatible with modern society. The wealth that is sought to be made is built on the exploitation of others (not included in the book). The history of the USD and monetary policy is completely ignored and fails to reconcile the intergenerational gaps of wealth building between capital-owning classes (not just race), and the investments made from slave labor that perpetuated through the 20th century and both World Wars (war is a racket). The playing field for wealth penetration involves investing into exploitative businesses that empower modern wage slavery, the destruction of the planet, and fascist politicians.
This section also ignores the problem with modern wealth penetration and the trillions of dollars that were created by the Fed which circulated to the top 1% where almost 80% of the total wealth in the world now sits with a handful of people. That capital resides with land and debt bondage, how can anyone think about attaining wealth unless they are born in proximity to the capital stolen from rape of the American working class during a global pandemic? The USD is blood money, building wealth from it is not just immoral, it negates the virtues espoused in the next section (which is pretty solid advice, transcendental meditation is good for personal ecology).
Can't recommend.
