The Almanack of Naval Ravikant

1. How to create wealth

   1. To get rich, seek specific knowledge, accountability, and leverage.

   2. Take business risks under your name as much as possible. Take credit when things go well and ownership when things go wrong. Society rewards those with responsibility, equity, and leverage.

   3. You will not get rich by renting out your time. To gain financial freedom, you must own equity (a piece of a business). Give society what it wants but does not yet know how to get at scale.

2. Building Judgement

   1. To build judgment, you must keep abreast of current trends and study technology, design, and art, and become the best in the world at something. The direction you head in matters much more than your pace. Choose wisely.

   2. Judgment, especially demonstrated judgment, with high accountability and a clear track record, is critical. Warren Buffett has been right over and over in the public domain, and for that reason, has massive credibility.

   3. Being at the extreme in your art is crucial in the age of leverage.

3. Love to read

   1. To build specific knowledge, read what you love until you love to read.

   2. If you’re a slow reader, read one hour per day; it will likely put you at the upper echelon of human success within seven years. If you’re a fast reader, slow down; it’s not a race. The better the book, the slower it should be absorbed.

   3. Read science, math, and philosophy. But be selective. Read the fundamentals. Then reread them; it’s better to read a book that you’re excited about a hundred times than it is to read one hundred average books that don’t.

There were other aspects to the book as well that I didn't make note of, like how to achieve true happiness.
