#21 - Naval Ravikant's Essence: Wealth, Wisdom, and Inner Peace

At first glance, it's a book about wealth, startups, leverage, and decision-making - ideas I've read about many times.

I didn’t expect The Almanack of Naval Ravikant to resonate with me the way it did.


But as I flipped through its pages, it slowly became clear: this wasn’t a traditional book.

It felt more like a distilled essence of a life well examined — one man’s pursuit of clarity, calm, and freedom, both financially and mentally.

And for someone like me, balancing leadership, family, ambition, and self-discovery, it arrived exactly when I needed it.


Naval doesn’t write in chapters or theories. His words read more like sharp, distilled truths — sometimes obvious, sometimes uncomfortable, but always thought-provoking.

His core belief is that getting rich isn’t just about working harder; it’s about playing the long game with the right tools: specific knowledge, accountability, leverage, and judgment.
