He is one of kind genius I admire..I could listen to him over and over again ... thank you the post ..
This is a wonderful show. I am so glad this is in the universe. Thank you Naval For your wisdom and Shane for your excellent questions.
Amazing! i have been looking for a mentor as of late, Naval is it! Found him on Joe Rogan initially and i resonate with his philosophy. self education is key and he said he reads less than 2 hrs a day which is greater than a lot....when i read books that improve my life and organic with my passion, my life only improves

This seems like a great summary of the talk: 😁 is there any chance you could expand each point to a sentence or two ...🤗 (Full disclosure: I've surfed here from interview between his brother Kamal and Australian Agnes Vivarelli ....) ☺
I keep relistening to this over and over again there's so much information packed in this
This one of the greatest interviews of all time with Naval. I took so much away from this!
This is an episode Im re-listening to for third time in under a year. Similar to books I re-read. Wrote down the nuggets and getting more each year.

Podcasts with Naval in general are something I often come back to for repeat listens. He somehow finds ways to explain years of wisdom in simple timeless concepts, which is immensely valuable to me.

Amazing.
One of my favorite podcasts of yours to date! Which author was Naval referring to about The Art of Manipulation?
The speaker discusses his youthful "jealousy", but "envy" is the more correct word. Although many people consider “envy” and “jealousy” synonymous, they actually have distinct meanings. Envy is “the painful feeling of wanting what someone else has, like attributes or possessions.” If you're jealous, you feel “threatened, protective, or fearful of losing one's position or situation to someone else.” I would suggest that in our youth we suffer more from envy of what others have. With age and experience,as we accumulate assets and honors, we shift more towards jealousy.
" Complete and utter insignificance of the self" Should be the title of a book
1:55:21 The idea that you’re going to change something in the outside world and that is going to bring you the peace and everlasting joy and the happiness that you deserve, that is a fundamental delusion that we all suffer from, including me. The mistake over and over and over is to say, “Oh, I’ll be happy when I get that thing, whatever that is.” That’s the fundamental mistake that we all make, including me, 24/7, all day long.
Naval is smart. Shane has an NYT article on him too. He knows how to ask the right questions.

Brah, that end part on Entropy was lit.
Aghh this Naval dude, such a bright mind
Awesome! What is the name of the song in the beginning and the end of the episode?
1:26:43 sounds similar to the concept from sci-fi series called Dark Matter by Blake Crouch and knowing naval’s love for science fiction, he very well may have read it too
Aside from the learning Naval needs to do about the meaning of life at the end, this was an interesting listen.
57:27 Creating identities locks you and keeps you from knowing the truth. Worth pondering.
Bhagavat Gita 18.63: Thus, I have explained to you this knowledge that is more secret than all secrets. Ponder over it deeply, and then do as you wish. Ponder deeply and then do as you wish. Most of these thoughts, I could relate are originating from a Hindu way of life. Not sure if I know enough of Buddhism on this, but he seems to be referring that throughout.

@stevemason2785

Hi Atisha,, Naval did not mention any book around the 20:16 point in this podcast. "Atomic Habits" is a book authored by James Clear. I have not read it but it got good reviews. You may benefit from it....or not. As Naval mentioned early in the podcast, (around the 10:00 mark) your choice of books should lean toward books you enjoy and benefit you. Naval is a reader who jumps from book to book and does not always finish a book he is reading. Sometime he will read until the book bores him then moves on to another. That is his style, Like you, I listened to this pod cast, partly, for book ideas. If you want Naval's entire reading list, go to farnamstreetblog.com/podcast . Good luck in your adventure !
