📚 Business Book of the Month 📚

The Almanack of Naval Ravikant: a Guide to Wealth and Happiness by Eric Jorgenson.

👉 Download the digital version for free on the official website: navalmanack.com (yes, for free! No registration needed)

• What: a collection of the most meaningful lessons from Naval Ravikant, a widely successful entrepreneur and founder of AngelList, on business, building wealth, success, mindset, happiness, and philosophy. It's super easy to read and you can jump from section to section without the need to follow the order, but the principles are very valuable. It's so awesome in its simplicity that I already went through it a couple of times, and now that I write about it, I feel like picking it up again for a quick re-read.
• It's for you if: you want to learn the basic principles on how to build wealth, gain more leverage with your work, and understand what to focus on. While it's very high-level and does not give specific or practical instructions, I'm sure both beginners and experts will find inspiration.
• Key takeaways: build specific knowledge. Wealth is about the freedom of control your time. Play long-term games with long-term people. Read all the time. Avoid zero-sum games. Leverage technology and capital to scale. Happiness is a choice. and many more
