Topics
Eric Jorgenson: 本书的创作源于一次偶然的机会,作者在听了Naval Ravikant的播客后,意识到将他的知识整理成书的重要性。播客这种媒介形式易逝,不易保存和传播知识,而书籍则更持久。Naval Ravikant的思想资源丰富,值得整理成书。许多经典书籍都是对他人作品的整理和编辑,这是一种有效的知识传播方式。Naval Ravikant是科技领域的成功创业者和投资者,在AngelList等公司取得成功。他是一位多产的投资者,涉足多个领域,并对幸福和自我反省有深入思考。追求财富而非地位,真正的财富在于独立自主,而非社会地位。想要致富,必须拥有股权,而不是仅仅依靠出卖时间换取报酬。拥有股权有多种途径,例如投资股票、获得公司期权或自己创业。利用杠杆可以创造财富,包括资本、劳动力和零边际成本的产品。要找到特定知识并将其产品化,才能创造财富。学习Naval Ravikant的思想,作者变得更加平静,更能理解不同视角。 Alex: Naval Ravikant认为幸福是一种技能,是可以学习和掌握的。幸福是一种技能,而非仅仅取决于外部环境,可以通过学习和练习来提升。Naval Ravikant的阅读方法是跳跃式阅读,不局限于从头到尾顺序阅读。如果不喜欢一本书,可以随时放弃,不必强迫自己读完。作者在阅读后会总结关键点和可行的建议,并尝试将这些知识应用到生活中。作者认为,每次只专注于一个可行的建议,逐步改进生活,比一下子尝试改变很多东西更有效。作者认为阅读可以分为三种类型:为了娱乐、为了获取信息和为了应用于实践。作者分享了两本对他影响深远的作品:《Calvin and Hobbes》和《Poor Charlie's Almanac》。作者探讨了阅读与应用之间的差距,以及如何有效地将阅读的知识应用于实践。读者可以通过Navalmanac.com网站获取本书,并关注作者的社交媒体账号。
