This is the first ebook I finished while on holidays. I have read recommendations about Naval before but I didnt know what to expect. In general I liked it, many things resonate with me and i would like to read it again at some point. It is something I need to do, be able to re-read books and drop books that are not “worth” it. That’s something Naval does/says.
The books is about wealth (and not just money) in all senses. But at the end of the day, I wonder if this is for everybody. Can everybody have equity? be its own boss? But again, there are many nice things you can take from the book. I would like to have in paper so could take more notes. So this is kind of the thinks I noted:
- Equity
- Do things for its own sake
- You are never going to get rich renting out your time
- Leverage: min input, max output
- Deathbed: the hard things you did
- Ego
- Time To Think!
- Relaxation is who you are
- Fuck yeah or default no (Need to learn this)
- Short term pain, long term gain
- Calm mind, fit body, house full of love. It is earned, not bought. (amen)
- Economy basics: Adam Smith
- Fundamental delusion: there is something out there that will make me happy (I feel this…)
- Desire is a contract with yourself to be unhappy until you get it…
- Jealousy (I feel this…)
- Death: Enjoy the moment
- Take responsibility
- Physical health, diet, sugar. Vegs and a bit of meat
- Mental health, meditation, breathing, cold shower.
- Most of our suffering comes from avoidance.
- Meditate in bed. Noting. GRATEFUL!
- Drugs, addictions, thrills, etc: People trying to get away from the voice of their minds -> overdeveloped sense of self
- Habits
- Books recommendations: Very good list. Need to take account from it.
- Reading habits: Re-read good books, dont need to read full books and be able to drop a book it is not good.
