The Almanack of Naval Ravikant: A Guide to Wealth and Happiness

This is from someone, who read the PDF document, witnessed the progress on Twitter (albeit not from the start), and still waiting for the Amazon order to ship. I am not directly involved with this project in any way, just a reader. First, I want to talk about Naval. He has broadened my perspective on wealth creation and continues to inspire me to think bigger and better. So, his content, tweets, and interviews are guaranteed to be worthwhile. Plus, he seldomly goes on media, so the wisdom in each conversation is even more valuable. Second, I want to talk about Eric. This book is the product of several beautiful coincidences: Eric making a casual poll on Twitter to compile Naval's words, Naval giving Eric his blessings & dumping all his Tweets on Eric, and Eric prioritizing this over everything to produce a high-quality book of 200+ pages. I really want to thank Eric for taking the lead to do this thing many want but won't do. It's just like a start-up: we all want this thing, so why aren't anyone doing it already? Third, everyone who is part of the production process is incredible. Publishing is a very messy business. Very complicated, sometimes frustrating. However, this book has such great design, format, edits, graphics, etc. To the twenty+ people working on this and even more beta-testing readers, thank you for making this a possibility. Last, Almanack is something that is always worth your money. Benjamin Franklin and Charlie Munger are behind some of the most re-readable books, and I think Naval's book will be one that's representative of the 21st Century. To publish an almanack, the subject first needs to have enough substance for that. Naval certainly does. (Peter Thiel's Zero to One is sort of his almanack, when you think about it) I hope this book can sell a lot of copies. Even more important, I hope people who read it can actively make use of the lessons and wisdom contained. Then, readers from other countries can get their hands on translations. People read less and less on average now, and I'm worried about the future as depicted in "Fahrenheit 451", when people have to recite books... Buy a book, pass on the fire!

It was a captivating and thought-provoking read — both engaging and intellectually stimulating from start to finish. Definitely recommended to anyone

The book, as expected by Naval, is easy to read due to its simplified communication of complex ideas. He covers a range of topics but they provide a holistic approach to life that has served Naval well and I believe is a great guide for anyone. I very much enjoyed the book.

I really liked this book. Many great ideas within, as well as quite a few “aha” moments. Format was different, but easily read. A lot of interesting book recommendations at the end. Certainly worthwhile. I had never heard of Naval until this book was recommended to me.

Easy to read philosophical book on perspectives for thinking. Focused on the individual and not collectivist garbage. Lots of good book reccos at end too.

This book is part philosophy, part action plan. Naval invites us to think differently about how we build, earn, and live. His core method blends authenticity, leverage, and clear thinking. Work on the right thing—and amplify it. According to the book, we can find our edge at the intersection of what we love, what we’re good at, and what feels like play. That’s our specific knowledge. If we align that with what the world values—and apply leverage like code, capital, or media—we can build freedom on our own terms. That said, there’s still tension between valuing our time and giving our work away. Naval tells us to set a high hourly rate, then encourages us to be radically generous. That works if the long-term upside is real, but not everyone who gives freely ends up with equity or recognition. I’d love to hear more on how to strike that balance. This little gem gave me practical ways to reframe not just my own direction, but also how I support clients. We don’t need to chase someone else’s path. We just need to be more of ourselves.

Really enjoyed this. He explains complex issues so easily. Totally worth your time. I highly recommend reading this. It will take hours to read but you'll remember what you read for years.

This book is genius on many levels. The simple wisdom is applicable to so many situations. It was challenging not to highlight whole pages. This book deserves multiple reads.

Naval is one of a kind. One of the world’s greatest thinkers. This book is a must read.
