7 Lessons from the book, “The Almanack of Naval Ravikant” that will expand your mind:
1. You need leverage
Time is limited and so long as you’re trading time for money, it will forever cap your income.
As @naval says “Fortunes require leverage. Business leverage comes from capital, people, and products with no marginal cost of replication (code and media).”
@naval 2. The long game is more fun
@naval is a massive proponent of playing long-term games with long-term-minded people
When you commit to playing the long game, you open up the door to compounding, you open up the door to exponential results and this apparent “overnight success”
@naval 3. Find what you love
When you find what you love and chase it, you will work on it without having to force yourself.
All because you love it.
While others see it as work, you see it as play.
@naval 4. Build specific knowledge
As @naval says, specific knowledge cannot be taught, but you can learn it.
Specific knowledge is the knowledge that you care about, but you rarely get to choose, it’s generally something you learn in your youth.
@naval Find what the specific knowledge is for you, pursue your natural curiosities, and build on it.
@naval 5. Collect mental models
A mental model is simply someone's representation of how something works.
They’re useful simply because they provide us with a new way to see the world, a compact way to store ideas and theories.
@naval The more mental models you collect, the more ways you can see the world and the better at decision-making you will be.
@naval 6. Learn to love to read
Naval: “The means of learning are abundant - its the desire to learn that is scarce”
What you read doesn't matter
What matters is that you read what you want until you love to read
And whether you realise it or not, your life will dramatically change
@naval 7. Happiness is a skill
Your happiness is within your control.
But if you don't believe it, you'll forever leave your happiness to the universe.
Naval: “The first step to increasing your level of happiness is realising you can”
