Hello Friend,

What if I told you that wealth and happiness aren’t as complicated as we think?

Most people believe:

  • Wealth = grinding 24/7.

  • Happiness = waiting until you "make it."

But that’s completely wrong. According to Naval Ravikant, a self-made millionaire and philosopher, true wealth comes from leveraging your mind, not just your time.

And happiness? It’s a skill, not a destination.

That’s what The Almanack of Naval Ravikant teaches—how to build wealth, create freedom, and actually enjoy life while doing it.

CLIPS ARE AT THE END

The Lesson: Leverage, Not Hard Work, Creates Wealth

Most people trade time for money their whole lives. But Naval explains that real wealth comes from building leverage:

  1. Code & Content Work While You Sleep – Build assets like books, businesses, or media that generate money even when you're not working.

  2. Specific Knowledge Beats Degrees – The most successful people don’t follow a traditional path—they create their own.

  3. Play Long-Term Games – Stop chasing quick money. Build something that compounds over time.

Why This Matters Today

Right now, with:

  • AI automating jobs

  • More people stuck in the 9-5 grind

  • A growing need for financial freedom

The old rules of success don’t work anymore. If you’re not leveraging knowledge, content, and technology, you’re falling behind.

Practical Tips: How to Build Wealth & Happiness

  1. Focus on Specific Knowledge – Find what you’re naturally good at and double down.

  2. Build Assets, Not Just Income – Start a blog, YouTube, or digital product that earns money over time.

  3. Detach from Short-Term Thinking – Wealth and happiness take time—invest in yourself.

  4. Choose Freedom Over Status – Stop chasing titles. Chase freedom.

  5. Realize That Happiness is a Choice – Gratitude, peace, and presence are skills, not outcomes.
