The Almanack of Naval Ravikant: A Guide to Wealth and Happiness

Эту книгу, а точнее альманах, мне очень долго настоятельно рекомендовал мой друг. Но я побаивался ее, так как на русском языке её нет, только английский оригинал.

Тем не менее язык оказался не таким сложным, и за 2 месяца периодического чтения вечером я её осилил )

Книга представляет собой сборник жизненных выводов и принципов миллионера индийского происхождения NAVAL RAVIKANT, который разделен на 2 блока со своими подразделами:

1. WEALTH (Богатсво) -BUILDING WEALTH (Создание богаства) - BUILDING JUDGMENT (Создание суждения)

2. HAPPINESS (Счастье) -LEARNING HAPPINESS (Изучение счастья) -SAVING YOURSELF (Сохранение себя) - PHILOSOPHY (Философия)

Стиль повествования представляет собой сборник твитов, которые Навал публиковал в течение времени.

В избранные цитаты добавил более 20 тезисов, которые считаю важными для понимания и применения в жизни.

Отдельно вынесу часть жизненных формул в разном возрасте, которые есть в книге.

LIFE FORMULAS I (2008)

→ Happiness = Health + Wealth + Good Relationships → Health = Exercise + Diet + Sleep → Exercise = High Intensity Resistance Training + Sports + Rest → Diet = Natural Foods + Intermittent Fasting + Plants → Sleep = No alarms + 8–9 hours + Circadian rhythms → Wealth = Income + Wealth * (Return on Investment) → Income = Accountability + Leverage + Specific Knowledge → Accountability = Personal Branding + Personal Platform + Taking Risk? → Leverage = Capital + People + Intellectual Property → Specific Knowledge = Knowing how to do something society cannot yet easily train other people to do → Return on Investment = “Buy-and-Hold” + Valuation + Margin of Safety
