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

Author: Eric Jorgenson (Compiled from the wisdom of Naval Ravikant)

The Almanack of Naval Ravikant is a modern-day guide to building wealth and living a fulfilled life, based on the insights and philosophies of Naval Ravikant—a successful entrepreneur, investor, and thinker. Compiled and edited by Eric Jorgenson, the book collects Naval’s most impactful ideas from interviews, podcasts, tweets, and essays, presenting them in a clear and organized format for readers seeking lasting success and happiness.

The book is divided into two core sections: Wealth and Happiness. In the first, Naval shares his philosophy on creating wealth ethically by leveraging technology, building specific knowledge, and owning equity instead of selling time. He emphasizes thinking long-term, avoiding get-rich-quick schemes, and focusing on personal growth. In the second section, Naval explores happiness as a skill—something that can be cultivated through mindfulness, self-awareness, reducing desires, and letting go of external validation.

Unlike traitional self-help books, The Almanack avoids fluff and focuses on timeless principles that apply across industries and stages of life. Naval’s clarity of thought, combined with Jorgenson’s thoughtful organization, makes the book both deeply philosophical and highly practical. It’s a must-read for anyone who wants to live intentionally, create value, and find joy in the process.
