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

The sample and the front page are correct, but the content inside the book is incorrect. The kindle version delivered to my device is for a book named "Called to Care".Please fix the error and push the update to all the devices that have already downloaded the incorrect version.

If you want it for free, the author has free downloads on navalmanack.com. If you want to pay Amazon, that’s fine, too.Just reading the first 80 pages will make you deeply consider your life choices. Highly recommend this compilation of Naval’s wisdom and life-perspective. Going to buy the hard copy.

The kindle version seems to be mixed with another book content.

Already purchased 5 copies to hand out and put on shelf. This will sit right next to Poor Charlie’s Almanac and Dalio Principals for me to read and review and read again for years to come. I think Naval said instead of reading 1000 books, read the 100 best books 10 times. This is up there with the best of all time when it comes to content about life, wealth, and how to live.UPDATE: 1/5/20. I was going to read this entire book again to start the new year. I purchased the Kindle Version and quickly noticed, ITS THE WRONG BOOK. Haha. How does this happen. Right cover, right page, wrong content. Please fix.

I am not a Naval Ravikant follower. I didn't know about him before this book. I am amazed at the value per minute I get while reading. I am constantly leaning back, looking up to the sky, and thinking about just how different my decision making will be now that I've been exposed to these ideas.The one key takeaway: happiness is a muscle that we need to exercise. (and that reading opens your eyes to the possible.)

Wow. This book is phenomenal.Eric does an incredible job distilling the absolute minimum viable principles to understand the process of building long term wealth.The book is a mixture of mind expanding realizations, harsh truths, meditations, helpful mantras and welcome punches to the face as needed.Could not recommend this more highly for anyone aspiring to have more wealth, wisdom, time, happiness, or peace.

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!

If you find Naval's wisdom enlightening, but haven't read / listened to his past content, this is a terrific book for you. It collected and curated some of the gems of his wisdom. They were organised coherently. The visuals were wonderful.If you have read / heard most of his stuff, there isn't much additional in this book. I expected to read more about the author's take on the content, or different perspectives/interpretations of Naval's wisdom. The visuals did that, but that's about it.

This book is full of plagiarism!The contents of this book is just a rehash of J. Jrishnamurti's writings and some Buddhists' literature.Not only I have read J. Krishnamurti, I have attended several of his lectures both in the United States and India. Even more, I have met with him one-on-one in person three times. He was a great man and had something to say. If you want the real stuff, go to Krishnamurti's writings. He has published several books, including his talks given under the trees. It should also be noted that he had affairs witha married woman. For that, you have to read another book.The only thing I found useful in Mr. Ravikant's Book:1. He is rich.2. Read, read, read : Mathematics , Science3. You are born, have some experience, you die.The only reason I bought Mr. Ravikant's book is because I wanted his secret to become rich. I could not find any.We admire the rich. So we buy these junk books to be disappointed.Take heart. There is nothing new here. Besides, this book is not expensive!

I was hoping this book would have more substance than it did but it didn't. It took less than an hour to read and everything in the book you can find online in his interviews. *I am confused about the part where he mentions that muslims pray to a prophet? That's absolutely incorrect, plenty of information is online and a simple google search would have corrected that error but instead it's incorrectly in your book. Because of that I am returning the book, it doesn't matter what religious beliefs you don't agree with or believe in, spreading false/incorrect information about another religion is not ok.

This book made me smarter, happier, and more optimistic about the future. A new classic to flip back to anytime I need some advice. Naval thinks so logically, and makes more sense than just about anyone I've ever read.

Naval's perspectives are so different - everyone should read this book.

I really enjoyed this book. It's a quick read and like similar books very thought provoking. I liked that he said "don't be like me be you". Many people read this type of book and immeadiately think I need to change this, this and this about myself.

I read a LOT. This is one of the best books I've ever read. I've found most of what's in this book to be spot on in my life. If you liked this book, I recommend "How to fail at almost everything and still win big" by Scott Adams as well.

I didn't expect too.much fro this book, because I didn't knew Naval before. Now I feel I know him. Now I add him as a mentor (by distance).I found so much wisdom... I don't remember to mark so many on one book before.Thank you for compiling so much great information from such a great thinker.For sure I will red it several times.Enjoy this lecture!

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS FOR CURRENT TIMES! THANK YOU NAVAL, YOU ARE REALLY CLEVER

I've been following Naval Ravikant intently for a few years now. When I heard that there was going to be a book of his ideas, I said "Shut up and take my money!"The book does not disappoint: it's direct and interesting, and combines media powerfully (conventional passages of text, graphics, tweetstorms rendered in pint). I recommend to anyone with an interest in managing their time better and being happier.

Occasionally this feels a little stitched together but there is so much worth reading that it doesn't matter. At the end of the book is a fantastic suggested reading list, so the book is doubly worth it.

I guarantee that anyone who left a bad review regarding the contents of this book is wrong. If you don’t understand the formatting and layout, it’s probably because you didn’t read the foreword and introduction. This book completely changed my life. And the credit ultimately belongs to Naval. He is just out of this world and incredible. I would also recommend listening to his podcast. Since reading this book I have switched my career and lifestyle and my life has taken a turn for the better. I will continue to reread and recommend this book forever. Thank you Naval and thank you Eric for putting this book together.

How does one person accumulate so much wisdom at such young age (48).This book is worth re-reading many times a year, for many years until it is tattooed on the sub-conscious mind.His thoughts on Wealth, money, happiness and judgement are simply mind-blowing. He has a very unique way to phrase wisdom and learned life lessons in such a way that these make complete sense. For instance, in the topic of happiness he says: “ desire is a contract you make with yourself to be unhappy today, and until you get what you want.” Booommm!On the topic of wealth he says: the are four big leverages to wealth. Two requiere permission: capital and labor (these depend largely on someone else). The two others are permission-less (they dont require anyone else to be executed upon. These are code and media. Read the book to find out why.This is one of the few books I have been meticulously taking notes and making correlations on the lessons provided. It is that good.

The Wood it isn't as dark as the photos in the description. My main problem is the price and the quality you are getting. The stand its cheap plastic. I mean we are talking 70 dollars. The font and design sure, it looks good. But it's a little too expensive for what you are getting. I would say the price should be around 40-50.

It is a really piece of art. Perfect gift for my anniversary

Absolutely gorgeous. This Is the second item i received from this company and i love it . Mom and dad loved how beautiful it looks.

Bought this for my husband for our 5th wedding anniversary he absolutely loved it.

Very nice

My Nephew and his wife loved this wooden plate I sent them in honor of their 5th wedding anniversary!

Perfect for 5th Wedding Anniversary.

Beautiful well made will have for many years great quality.

Oh man, this thing has been a lifesaver. My beautiful table was being ruined by three kids under 10. It looks great, fits perfectly, doesn’t slip and slide around, and best of all, it protects my table from all the natural disasters kids bring. You can’t beat the price either!

This is so cheap looking. It resembles a shower curtain and the material sticks together. I’m going to return this tablecloth and advise not to purchase

Liked the clarity of the product in the images online, and wasn't disappointed. Wanted it to protect a tablecloth, but still be able to see the tablecloth pattern. Haven't used it yet so can't say about stain resistance. As long as the cloth below stays dry and stain free would buy again. Update: 1/14/22 This has been on the kitchen table since June 2021, and nothing has leaked through, or stained it. I have placed very hot dishes from the microwave on it many times and still looks like new. Highly recommended, so if you're hesitant I say buy it.

Looks pretty now my table is been protected. I love the material and color. Easy to clean.

I've ordered 3 of these over the past 2 years: the 1st time for a table protector so my grandkids could paint, do crafts & play doh, etc.--worked great, sturdy, easy to wipe clean and re-use. I ordered the 2nd one to cover our deck table over the winter--just pushed the table up against the house under the eaves--it got beat up a little but did the job, so I ordered another to save for next winter (only $8:15). However, I've already used that one too, b/c I could not find a storage bag large enough for a King comforter set...I machine-sewed the plastic cover together length-wise along the border edges (easy) leaving the top open....popped the comforter set in, works perfectly. Sooo, I'm ordering a couple more of these before they're "Currently Not Available."

I returned this one. The photo appears as if though it's a heavier gauge. This is simply a piece of thin plastic - an upgrade from the disposable party tablecloths.

Love the simplicity of putting this cover over ANY tablecloth you want (in this case a beautiful seasonal Pottery Barn appliqué table throw) and just wiping up the kids’ messes so easily. Arrived a bit stiff, and the fold marks are still there after 1+ weeks of use (so I *think* measurements are accurate but it may stretch out a bit as it relaxes?), but plastic smell was gone within hours, material is thick and is still crystal clear after wiping up several messes.

Bought this to cover tablecloth so my grandkids can use while working on crafts involving glue and paints. Very durable and crystal clear. Thick and pliable and creases come out from being folded by lightly using a hair dryer. Once free of creases will stay smooth til folded again. Thick enough to easily fold to put away. Great to use on dinner table to protect nice tablecloth for dinners as fondue 🫕 which can easily soil exposed tablecloth. Honestly, looks great on tablecloth for every day use to keep linen fresh for when company is over for dinner.

These masks work pretty well for me personally. Also, when in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offencesFor abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

My new favorite face masks! I’ve had some masks that make my nose so itchy, but these do not! they are very comfortable and fit my face very well. Would definitely recommend these!

Nice assortment of color's each color wrapped together. Would buy again

Very comfortable!!

Useful during a pandemic

Lightweight and comfortable but doesn't secure on nose good. It slides down a little.

These don’t have 3 layers.I bought the same ones a year ago and they did have 3 layers.Quality is now terrible.

Just as described

It’s a good book to highlight many good ideas. They are mainly focusing on 3 topics, Wealth, Happiness, and Wisdom. And Naval did a good job to summarize the lessons he learned and they are definitely thought-provoking.However, I still feel that the ideas from this book are not original. They are from other sources and it’s not a secret. They openly reference original source and spark the curiosity to dig deeper. But since they are not original, they didn’t affect me as if the original source of ideas would. And it’s okay. It just means I need to ream more books from Naval’s recommendations.I liked the book and now I want to explore more from Naval’s recommendation.

I have found a few real gems worth highlighting. Lots feels like filler. I can see why the book is popular, but it's no blockbuster.

I really like how he touch key points that needed by modern society!

This book has valuable information that’ll change your life. Grab this book for yourself or a friend. They’ll love it.

I'm 18 years old and I feel like this book is like a 3rd parent to me, really good read.

Naval Ravikant is well read & a very clear thinker. This book is a collection of concise Maxim's Naval has adopted & credited for his success.

Great read

Naval is an inspiring thinker and entrepreneur. This book is full of simple well distilled pieces of wisdom that i will definitely be coming back to often.

Most books in this genre are nothing more than ad copy. For example Atomic Habits. The author picks a theme that resonates with their audience and states the obvious for 300 + pages.The Almanack of Naval Ravikant is not one of these books. For example Naval believes that to bring value to the market place one has to have three elements, specialized knowledge, leverage and accountability.When I am approached with opportunities or projects I ask myself if the opportunity presented meets Naval's requirements and is it worth the headache of pursuing . Nine times out of ten the answer is no. This has saved me a life time of headaches.There is far to much wisdom in this book to list here. I highly recommend this book.

This interview style book with Naval was so easy to burn through. His thought process is inspiring from his everyday philosophy of life to his religious view of "Rational Buddhism". One of my favorite parts of this book is his recommended reading list. Directly after getting through this book I purchased 10 of the classic reads he recommends.

This book is sort of all over the place, but I mean it in the best of ways. It is an overall excellent book with a lot of great wisdom. I definitely see myself skimming back through it again.

This book is excellent, pack with knowledge. My son, recommended this book me. I will recommended to my friends.This is a great birthday gift to someone.

I’ve been a self improvement junkie since my parents had me listening to Tony Robbins tapes in fourth grade.This book is the single most valuable book I have ever read, so packed with wisdom I will be buying several copies to send to friends.

I like how simple the book is...it makes it highly relatable and easy to action.It is however repetitive, but outside that it certainly forms as part of my favorite list.

I like the concepts of applying what is important when it comes to not being successful from a financial perspective but more of the simple qualities albeit spiritual or personality that will help just make you a better person that will then lead to more overall success

If you have been following Naval on Twitter, then there is nothing new here.But I am glad to have all his profound thoughts in a place to listen to during my commute.
