The Almanack of Naval Ravikant

Eric Jorgenson

What changed how I think:

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

The core idea

Wealth creation comes from leverage — code, media, capital, and labor. Specific knowledge (stuff you can't be trained for) combined with leverage is the formula. Happiness is a skill you can train, not a destination.

What stuck with me

"If you can't decide, the answer is no." Simple heuristic that cuts through overthinking. Naval's thinking is compressed — every sentence carries weight.
