What he said about living an ascetic lifestyle in this age resonates deeply, as did many of his ideas about social media, freedom of speech, and the future of the economic hierarchy. Bring him back!
I listen to this in snippets, I started when I was 19 and a bit, and now I am 20. The wisdom here has helped me beyond my expectations. I actually have the date when I sent this podacst to my friend: 06/26/2022 10:23 PM. I come back to this podcast and his book probably once a month only for very very short words/quotes ever since. Now I listen just to provide extra fuel to my drive/goals. Before it was fuel for inspiration. Now I have something I am aiming to pursue. I hope you guys have found it/are working toward whatever that may be.
I’m from Rwanda 🇷🇼 (Africa) thanks to Joe for sharing Naval lavikant wisdom, wow it’s my first time to hear from this guy but I have already shared around my Village about this podcast.
Chrjs it’s basically retire your mind and live and enjoy. It’s not retirement after working a miserable job for 40 years. It’s retirement when you work a job that’s fun for you that makes you happy. You wouldn’t have to retire from that job. Of course that’s hard to find
True but I think it still takes time to learn this stuff you can show this to a 16 year old they’re gonna understand it and even memorise some of it and quote it, but internally they’ll forget about it in 2 days and continue to live life same way unless they’re constantly exposed to this type of content.
@@thomasspiegel5202 you get all emotional and cussy huh? Lol I don't care who said it ...listen to yourself cussing in comment sections and getting rude to possible friends and possible good ppl with a different point of view...I don t care what alcoholic ass confused us says ..I mean confucious say ....who can prove confucious wasn't a mute who never said anything or were you there when he said it? You sound foolish ...Go be emotional somewhere else 😂🤣😂
It was a very 'nice' conversation for sure. I feel like everything he said came from a book though :( and Joe just repeats things and jerks his guests off at this point. Still, a good podcast.

Remember listening to this in 2019 & it was like a light had switched on, Naval revealing truths most of us know deep down but in the chaos of life are easy to miss. I had a good job in London but had to face reality - there was no realistic path to wealth no matter how high I climbed the corporate ladder. The people at the top of my firm were making over £1m annually but their calendars were booked out for the next 6 months - to me that's not freedom & its not wealth. Since then quit my job, started my own business (equity) and also now building things with my own brand (accountability & taking business risks in my own name). It's all based on stuff I find play but others think is hard work (specific knowledge). It's been a wild ride but every day is an adventure. No one to tell me what to do or where to be. Genuinely don't think I'd be in this position without the wisdom of Naval to give me this perspective shift 4 years ago. I occasionally return back to this episode & find a new nugget of wisdom that clicks. Timeless.
Yeah, but those people making 1M yearly could potentially, if they were wise, save 700K yearly and, over 5 years of pain, would be in the position to gain freedom and never return to the high level of stress they had. Few of them do this, instead they play the millionaries life, buy expensive things on credit and get used to live an expensive life that keeps them in that complicated rat race for too many years, until they snap. At the same time, let's not cry too much for them, a single mom raising 3 kids from a low income would have at least that amount of stress, and that would most probably be for life.
"Desire is a contract with yourself to be unhappy until you get what you want." I'll be god damned if that isn't the most resonant shit I've heard all year.
Didn't resonate with me though. The process is a sizeable part of the way to your goal. If you don't learn to appreciate it you'll feel miserable and it's no good.
@Name cannot be blank actually no, law of attraction isnt all about desire. its about believing something will eventually happen and acting like it shortly speaking.
@Andrew Cox You can't blame Christianity for the mass murder committed by the Christian nations in WW1 & WW2, Vietnam etc. Estimated 60 million died in WW2 alone. So why would you blame any other religion for violence?
This dude is an absolute genius. It’s so difficult, especially during an interview / conversation, to put thoughts and words together eloquently without pausing or saying “uh” or restarting. This guy has every answer perfectly rehearsed and presented. Amazing.
If you like him, make sure to check out Joe's episode with Eric Weinstein. He has a very similar background of Naval's. He works at Theil Capital investing in startups. God minds, these two are.
Jesus, right?! Next to the podcast with the flat earther Jonni bravo, the two podcasts are worlds apart. I might have chuckled a few times listening to Eddie express himself with a banana oh his hand and his other hand on his balls, whereas this episode, I actually learned something productive.
The one quote from Naval I knew about going in. It's so great. There's so many things we're supposed to strive for that we take for normal or even unquestionable, and we end up doing so never living in the present but always longing for the next thing.
@@ssssssssssama I think his views still holds. All of AI right now is basically an advanced google search that can generate contextualized responses from existing data. It doesn't have one original thought.
I am a 29 yo girl who is trying to make something of her life. I keep coming back to thos podcast due to the insane amount of knowledge in each and every segment. Tho large part of the credit goes to naval without a doubt, its also rogan who is just amazing at asking the right stuff at the right time. Thank you both.
This podcast, is probably at least in my top 3 podcasts that I have ever listened to on the JRE. This man is dropping so many nuggets of wisdom it is almost unreal. Kudos to Joe and Jamie for having this man on!
My 1st time hearing anything from this man Naval, all I can say is, WOW... what an extremely wise man! Take notes on the wisdom he's offering here people!! Soo many gems in this episode 💯
I listened to him for 30 min, I got so PUMPED from it that I ‘SLAPPED the FCK’ out of my Old Lady... I told her I was getting her ready for when the Muslims run America along side the ‘Men In Small Hats’ AKA ‘JOOOOZ’. Cheers Olympia WA
Not a single hate comment in TH-cam in today's world. Speaks volume on how massive this episode is. I felt like I was meditating throughout the episode.
The words in this podcast kept me sane during the plandemic of 2020 when I was stuck in a foreign country and I couldn’t go back home… 3 years later and I still apply the philosophies and principles I’ve picked up from this podcast. I’m about to take my 3rd run at this podcast and see what other gems I pick up again.
@@edwardjin7563 his projection of AI back in 2019 was accurate... it will be at least 20 years before it really can even come close to replicating the human brain. in Dec 2022 when Ghat GPT became accessible to the public everyone began to lose their shit thinking it was the end of the world and that in less than 6 months the advancement of it would replace all knowledge workers and creatives.... that didn't happen and if anything Chat GPT is more dumb and woke than before. He also said something briliant that flew over my head the first time but i picked up the 2nd time i heard it which was "most of lifes modern problems are problems of abundance, not scarcity" this includes gossip (social media/news/etc) and food (processed food/sugar/etc) and in order to survive in modern society you must become an ascetic... I have adopted this philosophy and it has cleared the way for more creativiy, clairvoyance for my projects and business. i've removed all social media from my phone including TH-cam (which was my biggest vice) and i've found my life has greately improved (less stress/anxiety/distractions) i know have more time and energy than before. (The food part is something i already knew but was a good reminder of this philosophy) i can continue with more gems from this but this comment would get too long
Not really the truth though, since "Rather that looking at yourself, you are wasting your time and energy looking at how you think other people view you, when the majority of those "other people" just pretend to care what is going on with you" is a way more realistic assessment. thank me later:)
Naval Ravikant on Joe Rogan's podcast - our ultimate favorite! We find ourselves revisiting it time and again, just to soak in the wisdom Naval shares. His insights are beyond enlightening, and we can totally relate to his approach. It's like a treasure trove of knowledge that we keep coming back to for that mental boost. 🎙🚀 #NavalWisdom #PodcastGem
A powerful value-bomb that pretty much all the successful people did the complete opposite of... That quote is complete bullshit and a big reason why so many people amount to nothing...You have to make sacrifices today for a better tomorrow.
@@kevinn2759 It's not as simple as that. Nothing in life is. Sure you have to sacrifice the present for the future but you can't forget that you live in the present. You still have to enjoy your life because if you don't all those sacrifices become meaningless. Then there's the whole thing that you can't completely predict the future.
He recently was on Tim Ferris's podcast, he mentioned that he doesn't believe in sequels. So it is highly unlikely he is going to be again on JRE. th-cam.com/video/HiYo14wylQw/w-d-xo.html
The interview with Naval Ravikant is one of those rare gems that stays with you. I first heard it a few years ago, and it completely resonated with me-so much wisdom packed into one conversation. Every few years, I find myself going back to listen to it again because there’s always something new to take away. Naval’s insights are timeless and so helpful in shifting perspectives and opening minds. More people need to listen to episodes like this-it’s the kind of conversation that can genuinely change the way you think about life, success, and happiness. This episode will definitely go down in history as one of the greatest!
The Monk of Silicon Valley He is unquestionably among the most brilliantly efficient articulators of the English language in all of human time. Tons and tons of priceless gems in this podcast. Absolutely astonishing, thank you both!
Jocko Willink is my father figure. Jordan Peterson is my old wise grandfather. Joe Rogan is my cool chad uncle. Naval is my college professor. Each one of them changes my life in a positive way and I am grateful that those people exist.
I haven’t listened to jockos stuff really but the rest you’ve nailed to a tee. I have only heard good/badass things about jocko tho so I’ll be checking him out for sure
Right? I'm 10 mins in and I've already written down a quote in my sketchbook: "Social media is making celebrities of all of us but celebrities are the most mistake people in the world."
Start this podcast 13 days ago now I finished with 30 pages of notes... Takes something in my notes that's have now a huge impact on my life.... This podcast deserve billions of views ❤❤❤thanks both of you
Specialization is for insects comes from a quote from Robert A. Heinlein. "A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."
This is gem of podcast. Never heard about this guy but what a clear, articulated and lucid thinker. He’s like summarized version of intellectual dark web.
@@thisguy7083 He is on Twitter frequently and elaborates (or summarizes) most topics that were touched on and I believe he has is own podcast ( I could be mistaken) regardless there are many other podcast appearances available online
Must be one beautiful brain, crazy activity, so many pathways connected in so many ways at lightening speeds... synapses off the charts... basically what you said tbf, so ye I agree haha
For the one you are reading this. You are the result of one of the most wonderfuls miracles of the life. No matter how hard life gets to you, no matter how many obstacles you have to face, no matter how many ups and downs you have… Please, never give up. You came here for a reason, you are meant to do something, bigger or smaller, but you have a purpose you are destined for. Do not let tell anybody that you cannot or that your dreams are imposible for a persone like “you”. With the right amount of effort and sacrifice you will climb to every top of mountain you challenge yourself. And yeah, be grateful also and enjoy every single moment of your precious life. Have a good night, your best time is yet to come❤️.
@@ryan_lamrow Come on, you have to admit that his comment was pretty funny 😅💀 I chuckled pretty hard lol, it was probably meant as a tongue-in-cheek joke
It's been many years since I first listened to this, and I've had time to mature and implement some of the concepts he discussed. He is a clear thinker with a realistic nuanced understanding of the world, and is especially spot on in his assessment of social media / addictive tech & substances and how they muddle the mind.
The knowledge in this podcast is so condensed that you listen to it for each week for years and there will still be so much to unravel and understand. Thank you Naval Ravikant you are the wisest person i have seen and heard. Thanks Joe Rogan for bring him to us.
This is kind of what bothers me about big thinkers. They tend to have some views that are just gross generalizations and fallacious. Do you REALLY believe that celebrities are more miserable on average than people who do not experiencefame (but may want it)? I’d like to see a study for that. Some evidence. Because from where I’m sitting, I’d trade lives with a lot of celebrities
@@justintroyer9373 I think he was speaking about instagram celebrities with millions of subscribers that in reality don't have that life they show to their subscribers.
This single episode, has had real impact on my choices. I started doing deep work, took up creative roles at my work place and not just transactional jobs, reduced my expenses so I can have more money to buy more time for myself. Naval has had a profound impact on my life. The downsides are I feel I should achieve more. I'm 31 years old, from Bangalore, India. Worked at a tech startup doing content strategy for the startup.
And what did you achieved with this mentality ? And don't be too hard with yourself, if you works deeply and enough time, the luck will find a way to find you
In the era of short attention span, comes the man , contradicting it. If you’re able to watch a 2hr long podcast in one go, you gotta admit this man’s got something incredible in him.
Joe, this podcast has literally been one of the most enjoyable 2-hour periods in my life. Thank you for inviting such a great guest and putting on such a high performance.
It amazes me how through such a long conversation Naval always has a quick and well thought out answer to each question posed to him without stopping to think or hesitating.
bryum i guess these questions are already triggered in his mind and he thought of those answers... that’s how you’ll be quick to answer any question. And I don’t know if it is for me, Naval is leading some of the questions of Joe to his topics of interests.
"On UBI Naval says that giving 15k a year would amount to 3/4 of current GDP." 31:31 However, the population of the US is 330 million, multiplied by 15k gives us $4.95 Trillion. GDP is $21.3 Trillion, so 15k a year per person amounts to less than 1/4 of GDP. I enjoyed the podcast and he seems very smart but not everything he says is correct.
I couldn't agree more, especially in our current politcal climate. I decided to detach from all of it about 2 years ago, however a good friend did not. I recently caught up with him after vacation and to my shock he had developed quite a bit of white hair. The man has been stressing himself out with the day to day drama that the news covers.
@@cheeselovingtree Those are issues though, not politics. Politics is the drama / theater that plays out day to day in the media. You don't have to pay any attention to that to understand the issues.
Timeless. I keep returning back to snippets of this podcast again and again, especially when I am dealing with complex events to process or consequential decisions to make.

I can't believe this is free. Incredible conversation. Thank you Naval and Joe.
it’s not free, you are paying by your time.
@@kmlo3784 You are paying by giving your info to TH-cam/Google for them to sell.
My mind just blew up. Definitely I´m listening again and write down some ideas
If listening to two people have a conversation costs you money, you're listening to the wrong people.
Nothing is free
This is a listen to once a year podcast. What a gift!

Every other day podcast for me 😅

I’m from Rwanda 🇷🇼 (Africa) thanks to Joe for sharing Naval lavikant wisdom, wow it’s my first time to hear from this guy but I have already shared around my Village about this podcast.
KEZA WORLD KEZA that’s wonderful.
Hello from Canada 😊

Simon Ghebremicael wtf?
The reach of this podcast is just amazing.
"Retirement is when you stop sacrificing today for some imaginary tomorrow." Woah.
That was ultra deep
woah is right
Retirement vs Advancement...calm vs arousal...
Chrjs it’s basically retire your mind and live and enjoy. It’s not retirement after working a miserable job for 40 years. It’s retirement when you work a job that’s fun for you that makes you happy. You wouldn’t have to retire from that job. Of course that’s hard to find
You could learn in two hours what takes 40 years by listening to this. “We have two lives, and the second begins when you realize we only have one.”
True but I think it still takes time to learn this stuff you can show this to a 16 year old they’re gonna understand it and even memorise some of it and quote it, but internally they’ll forget about it in 2 days and continue to live life same way unless they’re constantly exposed to this type of content.

Listened on iTunes; came here to make this exact comment. Delighted to find I was by far not the only person to think so.
It was a very 'nice' conversation for sure. I feel like everything he said came from a book though :( and Joe just repeats things and jerks his guests off at this point.

Low-key a legend
Thank you boss ! ♥️🇮🇳
So ,you cold e-mail them for paying for this timestamp
Remember listening to this in 2019 & it was like a light had switched on, Naval revealing truths most of us know deep down but in the chaos of life are easy to miss. I had a good job in London but had to face reality - there was no realistic path to wealth no matter how high I climbed the corporate ladder. The people at the top of my firm were making over £1m annually but their calendars were booked out for the next 6 months - to me that's not freedom & its not wealth.
Since then quit my job, started my own business (equity) and also now building things with my own brand (accountability & taking business risks in my own name). It's all based on stuff I find play but others think is hard work (specific knowledge). It's been a wild ride but every day is an adventure. No one to tell me what to do or where to be. Genuinely don't think I'd be in this position without the wisdom of Naval to give me this perspective shift 4 years ago. I occasionally return back to this episode & find a new nugget of wisdom that clicks. Timeless.
Q
Yeah, but those people making 1M yearly could potentially, if they were wise, save 700K yearly and, over 5 years of pain, would be in the position to gain freedom and never return to the high level of stress they had. Few of them do this, instead they play the millionaries life, buy expensive things on credit and get used to live an expensive life that keeps them in that complicated rat race for too many years, until they snap.
At the same time, let's not cry too much for them, a single mom raising 3 kids from a low income would have at least that amount of stress, and that would most probably be for life.
Same, changed mindset 100%
Awesome bro. What have you achieved since listening? Any business tips?
@@patrickwilson2474 my wife used to spend very much so i left her after this podcast
"Desire is a contract with yourself to be unhappy until you get what you want." I'll be god damned if that isn't the most resonant shit I've heard all year.
Was listening on blue tooth in the car and has to damn near pull over after that one.
Didn't resonate with me though.
The process is a sizeable part of the way to your goal. If you don't learn to appreciate it you'll feel miserable and it's no good.
@Name cannot be blank actually no, law of attraction isnt all about desire. its about believing something will eventually happen and acting like it shortly speaking.
Or like the Rolling Stones said, 'You can't always get what you want, you get what you need".
@@aaronglanville8430 i think you deeply felt that specially if you live in country like consumerism America
“All I want is peace, because peace is happiness at rest, and happiness is peace in motion.. “ - Naval
That's a great one. Thanks
Holy shift
God like quote
Arabic word for peace is (Salam, root word of Islam). Now replace the word "peace" with the word "Islam". Interesting outcome!
@Andrew Cox
You can't blame Christianity for the mass murder committed by the Christian nations in WW1 & WW2, Vietnam etc. Estimated 60 million died in WW2 alone. So why would you blame any other religion for violence?
This dude is an absolute genius. It’s so difficult, especially during an interview / conversation, to put thoughts and words together eloquently without pausing or saying “uh” or restarting. This guy has every answer perfectly rehearsed and presented. Amazing.
Probably an effect of him wanting to sound smart in his youth and practicing that a lot. Like he said towards the end.
Eric 100% agree. We can all improve with practice. He was probably just obsessing over perfecting that at a much earlier age than most.
@@ChrisBello Exactly!
He might not say uh or um but you can pick up on other speech mannerisms he has every once in a while.. for example him saying "right?" a lot
@@GhostkillerPlaysMC right! I know a few people who say "right?" at the end of every sentence lol that also becomes a bit distracting.
This podcast reminded me why I started listening to JRE.
Me too wonderful enlightenment. I feel like a new man honestly.

~Naval, Ravikant
great line
What an awesome quote.
The one quote from Naval I knew about going in. It's so great. There's so many things we're supposed to strive for that we take for normal or even unquestionable, and we end up doing so never living in the present but always longing for the next thing.
It's Buddhist philosophy
Ravikant, Naval
Time to bring another episode with Naval, it's been 5 years
And question about his views of ai today...
@@ssssssssssama I think his views still holds. All of AI right now is basically an advanced google search that can generate contextualized responses from existing data. It doesn't have one original thought.
@@DearDextra I understand, maybe, but maybe he has a different take now?
@@DearDextrathe rate at which ai is advancing, agi is definitely around the corner. So yah his take is wrong

@@edwardjin7563 his projection of AI back in 2019 was accurate... it will be at least 20 years before it really can even come close to replicating the human brain. in Dec 2022 when Ghat GPT became accessible to the public everyone began to lose their shit thinking it was the end of the world and that in less than 6 months the advancement of it would replace all knowledge workers and creatives.... that didn't happen and if anything Chat GPT is more dumb and woke than before.
He also said something briliant that flew over my head the first time but i picked up the 2nd time i heard it which was "most of lifes modern problems are problems of abundance, not scarcity"
this includes gossip (social media/news/etc)
and food (processed food/sugar/etc)
and in order to survive in modern society you must become an ascetic...
I have adopted this philosophy and it has cleared the way for more creativiy, clairvoyance for my projects and business.
i've removed all social media from my phone including TH-cam (which was my biggest vice) and i've found my life has greately improved (less stress/anxiety/distractions) i know have more time and energy than before. (The food part is something i already knew but was a good reminder of this philosophy)
i can continue with more gems from this but this comment would get too long
“Rather than actually looking at yourself, you’re looking at the way other people look at you.” Realist thing I ever heard
Not really the truth though, since "Rather that looking at yourself, you are wasting your time and energy looking at how you think other people view you, when the majority of those "other people" just pretend to care what is going on with you" is a way more realistic assessment.
thank me later:)

The interview with Naval Ravikant is one of those rare gems that stays with you. I first heard it a few years ago, and it completely resonated with me-so much wisdom packed into one conversation. Every few years, I find myself going back to listen to it again because there’s always something new to take away.
Naval’s insights are timeless and so helpful in shifting perspectives and opening minds. More people need to listen to episodes like this-it’s the kind of conversation that can genuinely change the way you think about life, success, and happiness. This episode will definitely go down in history as one of the greatest!
Listened to this over 15 times over the past 4 months. Each time, I learn a different lesson from Naval.
This is my 5th time lol.

Basically not attached to anything just go with the flow as it comes by and this will lead to blissful life for sure.
...and Naval said "his friend" said it. Heinlein died 30 years ago...
I love this
Thank you
Thanks for the nugget!
@@evadevries2952 maybe his friend read the book and once said it to naval
Joe needs to bring this guy more often. SO much valuable info.
Easily the best podcast I have listened to in my life so far. Packed with wisdom. Thank you Naval and Joe!
He is Hindu though 🧐
Naval’s a legend
He really is !!
Share this podcast in your channel.
Great thinker but let’s be careful of putting anyone above us.
He really is
Absolutely 100% legend
That was a mic drop interview... Nothing else will match that ! Brilliant.
Nothiiinnnggg!!!
This is gem of podcast. Never heard about this guy but what a clear, articulated and lucid thinker. He’s like summarized version of intellectual dark web.
33:33 "we're nowhere near close to general AI"
We need Naval again after OpenAI released GPT-4.
We need to know his new point of view.
I don't think his opinions will change tbh we're still in an advanced version of pattern recognition
But now AI can code better on some aspects of programming.
@@rjun152 Have you seen GPT-4o Advanced Voice? Damn that thing is impressive.
Is there a petition or something I can sign to get this man back on the show? 😂 This podcast was incredible!
Check out his channel

Forreal
Take this mans lessons and apply them; Start a petition yourself ;)
I will sign it, good luck!
Holy shit.
That was one of THE BEST podcasts I've ever heard, full stop.
Going to follow Naval now
Charlie1821 what’s his channel? I’ve found one called “Naval” which I assume is his. But I’m not sure!
@@thisguy7083 He is on Twitter frequently and elaborates (or summarizes) most topics that were touched on and I believe he has is own podcast ( I could be mistaken) regardless there are many other podcast appearances available online
@@thisguy7083 Nice name 👍 lol
if you liked it, why do you need to cuss about it??
Yappy Raccoon because vulgarity is often an efficient exclamation
This man's quick wit is on point. So many ideas off the cusp, and speaking with no studder.
Must be one beautiful brain, crazy activity, so many pathways connected in so many ways at lightening speeds... synapses off the charts... basically what you said tbf, so ye I agree haha
he is a genius
Be high in openness to new experience and ideas and you too will be like Navel!
Actually he studdard once according my calculation.
I know i hear him going uhm uhh awh studderin as much as any other acive.speaker.... The hell? That comment seemed VERY sus.

Naval is so damn accurate and non-contradictory! Such amazing understanding and concept of life. One of the best podcasts I’ve listened too.
One of the most insightful and intriguing podcasts I've heard to date. This is the type of content the world needs from you, Joe
Greg Brenner no, more eddi bravo.
Kidding. Loved this podcast
Joe,please invite Naval again, this speech opened my eyes. The best podcast ever made.
Very true.
How u see find this video if your eyes were closed?
@@shubhampawar3652 🤡
@@ryan_lamrow Come on, you have to admit that his comment was pretty funny 😅💀 I chuckled pretty hard lol, it was probably meant as a tongue-in-cheek joke
Naval ought to be your monthly/fortnightly guest on your podcast!
It's been many years since I first listened to this, and I've had time to mature and implement some of the concepts he discussed. He is a clear thinker with a realistic nuanced understanding of the world, and is especially spot on in his assessment of social media / addictive tech & substances and how they muddle the mind.
The knowledge in this podcast is so condensed that you listen to it for each week for years and there will still be so much to unravel and understand. Thank you Naval Ravikant you are the wisest person i have seen and heard. Thanks Joe Rogan for bring him to us.
"Social media is making everyone celebrities, and celebrities are the most miserable people." - Naval Ravikant.
This guy has me in awe. And ive studied life spirituality and the world for 2 decades
@@humanoid144 lol
This is kind of what bothers me about big thinkers. They tend to have some views that are just gross generalizations and fallacious. Do you REALLY believe that celebrities are more miserable on average than people who do not experiencefame (but may want it)? I’d like to see a study for that. Some evidence. Because from where I’m sitting, I’d trade lives with a lot of celebrities
@@justintroyer9373 I think he was speaking about instagram celebrities with millions of subscribers that in reality don't have that life they show to their subscribers.
Read this at the exact same time it came on wtf
This single episode, has had real impact on my choices. I started doing deep work, took up creative roles at my work place and not just transactional jobs, reduced my expenses so I can have more money to buy more time for myself. Naval has had a profound impact on my life. The downsides are I feel I should achieve more. I'm 31 years old, from Bangalore, India. Worked at a tech startup doing content strategy for the startup.
Hey wassup im in bangalore too, im 18 and just finished with school and I find this very insightful too
Der aaye durust aaye
@@hemanthes182 true
So glad to hear your story!! I am blown away with Naval, too :)
And what did you achieved with this mentality ? And don't be too hard with yourself, if you works deeply and enough time, the luck will find a way to find you
In the era of short attention span, comes the man , contradicting it. If you’re able to watch a 2hr long podcast in one go, you gotta admit this man’s got something incredible in him.
This is the best podcast (along with David Goggings and a few others) that I have ever listened to. Thank you Joe and Naval!
goggins could use some of this guy's wisdom. that dude is crazy. take a break bro
@@HoneyMooseyFace Nah man, that's what makes Goggins, Goggins.

Joe, this podcast has literally been one of the most enjoyable 2-hour periods in my life. Thank you for inviting such a great guest and putting on such a high performance.
Top tier interview. This is a fantastic guest. 10/10
This. Is. Incredible. This episode can never be removed from the internet.
It amazes me how through such a long conversation Naval always has a quick and well thought out answer to each question posed to him without stopping to think or hesitating.
bryum i guess these questions are already triggered in his mind and he thought of those answers... that’s how you’ll be quick to answer any question. And I don’t know if it is for me, Naval is leading some of the questions of Joe to his topics of interests.
Its called back to basic, what we are and what we want
"On UBI Naval says that giving 15k a year would amount to 3/4 of current GDP." 31:31 However, the population of the US is 330 million, multiplied by 15k gives us $4.95 Trillion. GDP is $21.3 Trillion, so 15k a year per person amounts to less than 1/4 of GDP.
I enjoyed the podcast and he seems very smart but not everything he says is correct.
people signing up to join the US Navy increased by 50,000% after this podcast
He’s intellectually sprinting :)
"If you want to be a clear thinker you can not pay attention to politics. It will destroy your ability to think."
That's straight to the point!
I couldn't agree more, especially in our current politcal climate. I decided to detach from all of it about 2 years ago, however a good friend did not. I recently caught up with him after vacation and to my shock he had developed quite a bit of white hair. The man has been stressing himself out with the day to day drama that the news covers.
But then he talks about gun Control, climate change, immigration, socialism.. He's clearly paying attention to politics. It's important.
people encouraging you not to pay attention to politics usually have a vested interest in people paying less attention to politics.
@@cheeselovingtree Those are issues though, not politics. Politics is the drama / theater that plays out day to day in the media. You don't have to pay any attention to that to understand the issues.
This guy answered all my lifes questions in one podcast.
Exactly!
seriously yes
Timeless. I keep returning back to snippets of this podcast again and again, especially when I am dealing with complex events to process or consequential decisions to make.
Human consciousness just leveled up. Thank you naval for using your gift in a positive way
