I love hearing Naval Ravikant talk.
There, I said it.
Especially his tweet thread about “How to get rich without getting lucky” that went super viral.
So here are a list of my favorite quotes from the book…
- Earn with your mind, not your time.
- A rational person can find peace by cultivating indifference to things outside of their control.
- Trade money for time, not time for money. You’re going to run out of time first.
- Learn to sell. Learn to build. If you can do both, you will be unstoppable.
- Wealth is assets that earn while you sleep
- You want to be rich and anonymous, not poor and famous.
- You’re never going to get rich renting out your time.
- Play long-term games with long-term people. All returns in life, whether in wealth, relationships, or knowledge, come from compound interest.
- Your success in life depends on your ability to make good decisions. Your happiness depends on your ability to not care about the outcomes.
- A fit body, a calm mind, a house full of love. These things cannot be bought — they must be earned.
- You make your own luck if you stay at it long enough.
- This is such a short and precious life that it’s really important that you don’t spend it being unhappy.
- All the benefits in life come from compound interest — money, relationships, habits — anything of importance.
- School, politics, sports, and games train us to compete against others. True rewards — wealth, knowledge, love, fitness, and equanimity — come from ignoring others and improving ourselves.
