The Almanack of Naval Ravikant
by Eric Jorgenson
A curated collection of Naval Ravikant's tweets, interviews and talks on wealth and happiness: specific knowledge, leverage, accountability, playing long-term games, happiness as a skill. It is free online by design and the book is well organized. Short entries, big ideas, no filler.
Read it if…
you want a dense, quotable philosophy of wealth and peace from someone who has both.
Skip it if…
you want a structured argument; this is aphorisms and transcripts.
Three things you will actually use
- Seek wealth, not status; it is positive-sum.
- Build leverage: code, media, capital, people.
- Treat happiness as a trainable skill.
Do this first
Write down your specific knowledge: what you can do that feels like play to you and work to others.
Our verdict
A rare free book worth paying for; sharp, compact, rereadable.
