Summary

Jorgenson collects and edits Ravikant’s interviews, essays and posts into a guide to wealth and happiness. The first part examines specific knowledge, ownership, leverage and judgment. The second considers happiness, health and choices about how to live. The book is a curated account of Ravikant’s ideas rather than a continuous memoir written by him.

Why read it Our view

Useful for considering what skills and choices make your work more valuable. Compare Ravikant’s ideas about ownership and judgment with your own situation, and ask what kind of success would leave you free to live as you want.
