This final episode of The Almanack of Naval Ravikant includes Naval’s favorite books, his recommended reading, and more thoughts.

Important Quotes from the podcast on Books:

Read enough, and you become a connoisseur. Then you naturally gravitate more toward theory, concepts, nonfiction. - Naval Ravikant

I always spent money on books. I never viewed that as an expense. That’s an investment to me. - Naval Ravikant

If you eat, invest, and think according to what the “news” advocates, you’ll end up nutritionally, financially, and morally bankrupt. - Naval Ravikant
