StoryShots Summary and Analysis of The Almanack of Naval Ravikant: A Guide to Wealth and Happiness, by Eric Jorgenson, with a foreword by Tim Ferriss
Introduction
Naval Ravikant is an Indian American serial entrepreneur, investor, and former CEO of AngelList. AngelList is a website designed to pair investors with startups. He has also invested early, in companies like Uber, Twitter, and Postmates.
As a result, Naval has gained a wealth of experience. He frequently advises on wealth, happiness, and life. This advice has been shared across a range of tweets, interviews, and essays.
Author Eric Jorgenson curated this advice into The Almanack of Naval Ravikant.
Eric broke the book into two main sections: wealth and happiness. Each sectionās chapters contain various tweets, comments, and statements from Naval. Eric edited the words to flow well, but he has tried to share the ideas as unchanged as possible.
You donāt have to read the book from beginning to end. Instead, you can flip to specific chapters to examine that particular topic.
Eric Jorgenson's Perspective
Eric Jorgenson is a writer, podcaster, investor, and product strategist. Heās blogged and created online courses for several years. He writes and podcasts about personal leverage, building wealth, and good living, on ejorgenson.com these days.
Eric felt inspired to write The Almanack of Naval Ravikant because of the insights he gained from Naval. He decided to collect Navalās ideas and pass them on to others in a more accessible and organized way.
StoryShot#1: The Creation of Wealth
According to Naval, wealth is not money. Money is the tool used to transfer wealth.
Instead, wealth is things that can earn for you and be productive, even while you sleep. Wealth is inventions, business ideas, computer programs, or products. People will buy and pay for these, even if youāre not there to hand them over, directly.
The crux of his argument is this: you have to work hard to gain wealth, but you have to work hard the right way. You can work really hard at the wrong thing, and youāll never have a chance of getting rich. Thatās where specific knowledge and working in the right direction come into play.
