The Almanack of Naval Ravikant

Two of the ideas you’ll keep

The Clif summary of The Almanack of Naval Ravikant pulls out 7 insights. Here are the first two.

1. **Seek wealth, not money or status.** Wealth is assets that earn while you sleep, businesses, equity, code, media; money is how we transfer wealth; status is a zero-sum ranking. Status games force you to tear others down, so play wealth-creation games instead, which are positive-sum.
2. Get rich with the trio **specific knowledge + accountability + leverage.** Specific knowledge is what feels like play to you but looks like work to others and can't be trained via school; accountability puts your name and reputation on the line; leverage multiplies your output.

The other 5 — and the full 11-minute summary — are in the app.
