The mental clarity and thought process of this guy is mindblowing. While this book is a collection of his famous tweets, it is recommended to go through his podcasts where he talks in detail of his tweets.

A lot of his statements make you think a lot because he says as much as an essay in a line.

The title is mostly a hook or a bait. Naval shares some interesting ideas and principles he uses to guide his life. I used it to reflect on certain aspects and adapt some of these principles to my reality.
Sometimes they fall in certain condescendence and oversimplification of things ('do this and that, and you will be successful').
Always interesting to "listen" to a successful person with a different and formed opinion

Naval is an articulate thinker. I came to know him after listening to his interview with Joe Rogan. I have never heard of him prior to the interview. He advocates learning skills that scale like programming. He also advocates reading all kinds of books until reading becomes a habit. Successful people are voracious readers. There are so many practical advices on this book and I highly recommend this.

The original insights of Naval has always been a beautiful read and worthy of rumination.

Kan vara en god vana att årligen läsa om denna lilla bok och fundera över dess mantran.

"Study microeconomics, game theory, psychology, persuasion, ethics, mathematics, and computers."

"Reading is faster than listening. Doing is faster than watching." Viktig läxa att läsa korta viktiga texter, t.ex. centrala avhandlingar i viktiga områden och att hålla sig borta från romaner.

"Become the best in the world at what you do. Keep redefining what you do until this is true."

"Pick an industry where you can play long term games with long term people"
Personförsäkringar: en långsiktig bransch med mycket pengar, men ingen hype, ser tråkig ut utifrån. Folket i branschen är seriösa och långsiktiga.

"Building specific knowledge will feel like play to you but will look like work to others."
- Min specifika kunskap kommer dels från vanan att läsa 200+ böcker per år och förtjusningen i att hacka komplexa sociala system, t.ex. att läsa klart IndEk på 3 år istället för 5. Snålheten är en annan sak. För mig är det ett spel att minimera kostnader. Kostnadsminimering, ekonomisk bildning, vilja att hacka saker: detta är specifik kunskap att fortsätta utveckla.

"Play iterated games. All the returns in life, whether in wealth, relationships, or knowledge, come from compound interest."

“The people who succeed are irrationally passionate about something.”

“I don’t plan. I’m not a planner. I prefer to live in the moment and be free and to flow and to be happy.”
