Throughout our adulthood, we all play games. The family game, the wealth game, the career game, etc. Naval explains why is important to know these games well and choose them wisely, because you can get trap into them till the day you die. He argues that he either plays the game and win it (and know that he has indeed won), or don't even play it in the first place. So, he always gets free from the games. He doesn't play them forever.
Enjoy!

"The reason to Win the Game is so that you can be free of it. " - Naval
- e.g. of these games --- Family, School, Grades, Marriage, kids, wealth, career, famous, dressing...
- Multiplayer games are the ones that suck you into society and anxiety
- 2 Options towards the games:
1) Play it and win it
• * If it makes you unhappy -- And once you win, realize that you have won and stop playing it -- Then, you are free from the game.
** If it makes you happy --- Keep playing it if you want
2) Don't play it
** "Not wanting something is as good as having it"
--- That gives you freedom. That is power and to be self-content. That is a person who found everything he needs/wants within himself.
** (extra) Of course, we as humans will always have desires of external things. So the key becomes to choose wisely our wants, and keep the amount as low as possible. - Interpreted from Naval & Socrates.
- Be careful of unconsciously taking in new desires (keep playing the games or start new ones). Choose your games carefully.
- Trap
* If you compare yourself with others, you will keep playing a given game (or set of games) forever min 1.44.12
- Hack
* When you start a game, set the definition of winning the game. (so you will know when you win it)
- Beware..
* These "adult" games can be infinite. (penultimo)
-- (extra) e.g./ Keep working, once you are F.I., in something that you don't like but gives you a lot of money.
- Keep your expectations below your circumstances. (ultimo)
e.g./ Don't upgrade your lifestyle every-time you make more money -- That will get you farer from being Financially Free.
/*
"A desire is a contract that you make with yourself to be unhappy until you get what you want" - Naval

Naval is a meta level thinker. It's hard to find someone on his level, but that's probably because he is a unique mix of someone whose a clever worldly operator, a scholar and philosopher.
@@sandjvj911 Lol same
It's like I'm aware of my fuck ups and still not taking actions
"The only difference between a wise man and a fool is that the wise man knows he's playing." -Fritz Perls
He forgot to mention. Every time you win those games. There’s no reward at the end. The reward was the actual game itself.
How is it there's no reward? If I'm playing a 'house' game then having a 'house' (all paid) is a reward of that game. Am I missing here something?
@@linusath JB is thinking of the more general mantra of "Life Is About The Journey, Not The Destination", but from reading and listening to a lot of Naval's work your interpretation is what he's meaning. He's not a monk and doesn't get pure pleasure out of chasing things, and there are things worth getting (like that house) that can make you happy after having, not just in the acquiring, which is honestly a more relatable and implementable view.
Meaning the reward usually does not live up to the hype and the reewardhas its own complexities
I like that approach.
Kiyosaki also says he's playing monopoly in real life.
You can build your businesses in a videogame fashion, with skills you must adquire before pass to the next level.
Somehow, it adds fun and put out the "social pressure"
Naval has like the best frameworks or thinking ive come across, him, + Jordan Peterson & Elon musk on how to approach life. This + books & the bible is maybe all you need besides other knowledge for skills. Add Goggins & Jocko for mental toughness. Steve Jobs for Entrepreneurship.
Exclude the bible and you are good to go.
@@mirzah.5821 any reasons to exclude the Bible?
@@zelalemmekonnen8030 For starters: Exodus 21:20-21, 1 Timothy 2:12 or Deuteronomy 23:2.
Dont listen to a random guy on the internet - me. Read for yourself.
Peterson has some solid advice, but he comments on things out of his domain from time to time and makes ridiculous claims. Definitely take him with a grain of salt
@@ronjohnson3621 Agreed. His psycology and motivational material is great. The mythical stuff to a degree too but as soon as he starts talking religion, he has the finest world salads I have ever seen.
Naval is so smart is scares me
The game is designed only to be played and never to be won. People get trapped thinking they can win the game. Understand that it is a game and you can play your own way, that’s playing it good.
What a guy! Never fails to truth bomb and leave marks on brain. Thanks for making these PN!
Welcome :)
Just repackaging Hindu philosophy.
give back my name
I loved this perspective
This resonates so nicely with me. Now to just let go after victory is the real victory!.
Thank you
amazing cut and notes
Thank you :)
this guy is on another plane
I am really grateful to you for this brother really needed to hear that from someone who have it all thanks for making this PN
My pleasure ❤️
this is embedded in me, that's why I don't opt myself into most of the famous societal games
Wise man.
Interesting mindset, and extremely useful when applied correctly, but I think the way it’s phrased, “Win the game or don’t play it” paints the idea in sort of an arrogant light. Where does the “Win or don’t play” mindset allow space for learning? For growth? I’ll personalize the example I’ll give: I’m a amateur fighter. When I first started sparring, I would get my ass beat every time by this one guy. Everytime I would “play the game” of sparring with him, I would lose. By this mindset, at least the way it’s phrased, I should’ve given up playing the game by the third or fourth consecutive month of getting my ass beat. However, it was in “losing” the game hundreds of times that I developed the skill set to eventually “win” the game, and now when sparring with the same guy, I often get the better of him. I appreciate the explanation in the video and it certainly is a useful mindset, but to discount the opportunity for growth and learning when you “lose the game” seems a bit shallow.
Thanks for sharing!
I guess there can be micro games within the games. In the case of sparring, there is a set of rules to know who wins/loses. But maybe trying to be the best in boxing (e.g.) can be an almost infinite game. In the money game at least, it is clear that it can be infinite -- You can play it your whole life.
This distinction btw the type of games it is amazingly put by James Carse:

New Age Guru. I like him.
Please make a pdf of the notes for each video lessons and keep making this
Give me a couple of days, I can make that for you. Do you have any fonts you like?
@@zelalemmekonnen8030 i loved that idea too.
@@zelalemmekonnen8030 I would love a copy if you went through with this.
@@zelalemmekonnen8030 Me too!
Drop your email and Ill send it.
I love this! I've won!
What if the system is forcing people to play the game they don't want to play? Most people donot have the luxury of choosing.
Agree! But imo even if you must play it, if you play it well you should be able (eventually) to reach an absolute metric from which you would have the option to stop playing.
@@PickingNuggets Easier said than done. Human nature is programmed to beat finalized understanding of any metric. This drama ends with one's life, until then keep playing.
@@9fine yeah because there is achievement… and than maintenance… once you get the things you have to keep putting energy into it if not you will lose it,
@@dee007noche In other words keep filling a leaking jar.
If you're gonna play, you might as well win.
There is no winning, the reward never lives upto the hype
Sir Naval 🙌🏻
reminds me of Albert Camus
I bet 100 dollars he’s not free from StarCraft 2 haha
Out of this world! 👽!! Do not waste another day - P-R-O-M-O-S-M!
I wouldn't say Elon musk looks happy. I'd say he looks overweight and stressed
maybe he is just fulfilled
You should never stop playing the Game. You can play a different game after a while but NEVER stop Playing. Otherwise you will Rot n yr life will becm Sad n Depressing
