The Almanack of Naval Ravikant
Autor: Eric Jorgenson
Hodnocení: 4/5
Naval Ravikant je neskutečně moudrý, chytrý a úspěšný podnikatel. Jeho myšlenky ať už v oblasti zdraví, štěstí, bohatství nebo celkově života mají skutečnou hloubku a hodnotu.
Jeden z jeho nejúspěšnějších „tweetstormů“ na twitteru s názvem „How to get rich without getting lucky“, který je mimo jiné popsán i v této knize, shrnuje v pár větách jednoduchý postup, jak budovat hodnotu života a vlastní práce, aby mohl člověk neskutečně zbohatnout. A nejenom finančně.
Autor knihy též natolik obdivuje Navala, že se rozhodl poskytnout tuto knihu zdarma online.

The three big ones in life are wealth, health, and happiness.
We pursue them in that order, but their importance is reverse.
You’re more likely to have skills society does not yet know how to train other people to do. If someone can train other people how to do something, then they can replace you. If they can replace you, then they don’t have to pay you a lot. You want to know how to do something other people don’t know how to do at the time period when those skills are in demand.
IF YOU CAN’T DECIDE, THE ANSWER IS NO.
If I’m faced with a difficult choice, such as:
→ Should I marry this person?
→ Should I take this job?
→ Should I buy this house?
→ Should I move to this city?
→ Should I go into business with this person?
If you cannot decide, the answer is no. And the reason is, modern society is full of options. There are tons and tons of options. We live on a planet of seven billion people, and we are connected to everybody on the internet. There are hundreds of thousands of careers available to you. There are so many choices.If you find yourself creating a spreadsheet for a decision with a list of yes’s and no’s, pros and cons, checks and balances, why this is good or bad…forget it. If you cannot decide, the answer is no.
Don’t take yourself so seriously. You’re just a monkey with a
plan
HAPPINESS IS A CHOICE – Happiness, love, and passion…aren’t things you find—they’re choices you make.
You can get almost anything you want out of life, as long as
it’s one thing and you want it far more than anything else
