Naval's ability to say more in less, always amazes me.
i discovered this 4 am in the morning. i feel good for not sleeping.
Don't judge any contents on the basis of no. of views and likes on TH-cam. This is the Gold. Only access by limited and rare person. Come again.
@@heliand_22 Interesting concept, I think there is merit to the argument. Would you suggest this is more likely as popular content skews towards children, that the layperson seeks entertaining over informative content, or indeed another factor entirely?

Edit: Shane, we appreciate you, but life is short!
Thank you for the awesome interviews. Thank you for letting your subjects *speak*.
Thanks 🙏🏽
Read my mind ;)

Naval is one of the greatest thinkers alive right now
True
Hands down. He’s a leader in contemporary philosophy.
He is but there are also many many more like him under the covers
@@kolikari3813 And Naval's greatest achievement is that he is uncovered.
@@hunzallaattari2281 possibly, i feel he’s got the essence of Indian philosophy
This interview changed my life forever
-Substitution effect
-Duality-polarity of positive thoughts
-Happiness = absence of desire
This seems like a great summary of the talk: 😁
is there any chance you could expand each point to a sentence or two ...🤗
(Full disclosure: I've surfed here from interview between his brother Kamal and Australian Agnes Vivarelli ....) ☺
Definitely one of the most interesting minds out there.
Thank you Shane for the great interview...
54:10 - "only the individual transcends" 1:34:47 "the closer you wanna get to me, the better your values have to be"
Isnt dis one awesome line
This is probably the best thing on the internet. Thank you.
Amazing! i have been looking for a mentor as of late, Naval is it! Found him on Joe Rogan initially and i resonate with his philosophy. self education is key and he said he reads less than 2 hrs a day which is greater than a lot....when i read books that improve my life and organic with my passion, my life only improves
He is one of kind genius I admire..I could listen to him over and over again ... thank you the post ..
I keep relistening to this over and over again there's so much information packed in this
Love listening to this guy
This is a wonderful show. I am so glad this is in the universe. Thank you Naval For your wisdom and Shane for your excellent questions.
This is an episode Im re-listening to for third time in under a year. Similar to books I re-read. Wrote down the nuggets and getting more each year.
Saikrishna Chavali each time you revisit there’s something new
I fall back to this podcast each time I feel I need a push.
Podcasts with Naval in general are something I often come back to for repeat listens. He somehow finds ways to explain years of wisdom in simple timeless concepts, which is immensely valuable to me.
This one of the greatest interviews of all time with Naval. I took so much away from this!
One of the best, if not the best interview on this podcast
Thanks for this. Best content I’ve listened to all year.
this is Fantastic! FANTASTIC!!!
This is the deepest interview with Naval so far
Looking forward to this, bookmarked.
Great episode! Thank you! Very inspiring
How come this doesn't even have 1M views? But in a way glad that this gem 💎 has been accessed by only a limited number of people.
Value for words spoken out is so high from Naval all the time...
Grateful for your open sharing! 😇
Incredible thoughts

Shane, this episode got me hooked into podcasting so much so that i started my own, thank you for inspiring me. Keep crushing it.
1:55:21 The idea that you’re going to change something in the outside world and that is going to bring you the peace and everlasting joy and the happiness that you deserve, that is a fundamental delusion that we all suffer from, including me. The mistake over and over and over is to say, “Oh, I’ll be happy when I get that thing, whatever that is.” That’s the fundamental mistake that we all make, including me, 24/7, all day long.
Great episode.
Wow. Thank you 🙏
Just finished! Love all of the Farnam Streets Podcast and this one was great!
Was binging on Naval videos while i got this notification. Thank You
Me too😄... What do do bro?
We will make it, bros
@@simpleman7203 win for YT
I see Naval , I click
Naval, stop reading and start writing that book.
Naval is smart.
Shane has an NYT article on him too. He knows how to ask the right questions.
yes, props also needs to go to Shane, i was only praising Naval but he asked the right questions
Bhagavat Gita 18.63: Thus, I have explained to you this knowledge that is more secret than all secrets. Ponder over it deeply, and then do as you wish.
Ponder deeply and then do as you wish.
Most of these thoughts, I could relate are originating from a Hindu way of life. Not sure if I know enough of Buddhism on this, but he seems to be referring that throughout.
The speaker discusses his youthful "jealousy", but "envy" is the more correct word. Although many people consider “envy” and “jealousy” synonymous, they actually have distinct meanings. Envy is “the painful feeling of wanting what someone else has, like attributes or possessions.” If you're jealous, you feel “threatened, protective, or fearful of losing one's position or situation to someone else.” I would suggest that in our youth we suffer more from envy of what others have. With age and experience,as we accumulate assets and honors, we shift more towards jealousy.
I understand all this but applying takes time.
One of my favorite podcasts of yours to date!
Which author was Naval referring to about The Art of Manipulation?
Amazing.
" Complete and utter insignificance of the self"
Should be the title of a book
THis is an old podcast. Nonetheless, still worth listening again.
The information in this series of podcasts is timeless. Our grandkids will be able to put it to good use.
Johnny B Zen ttyiyiyi itineraries TH-cam yi6yiy8.68yizyiyy
Oh. Didn't know that.. How old is this? Any idea when was it recorded?
Superlike!
Aside from the learning Naval needs to do about the meaning of life at the end, this was an interesting listen.
1:54:40 I disagree, the car's going to change your life a lot. Changing your environment is the key to happiness, the boundary is all that matters.
Sound so much like the tim ferris podcast still love it
57:27
Creating identities locks you and keeps you from knowing the truth.
Worth pondering.
1:26:43 sounds similar to the concept from sci-fi series called Dark Matter by Blake Crouch and knowing naval’s love for science fiction, he very well may have read it too
Which was the book he was talking about, there are a few "art of manipulation books" cant find it in the rop comments or description
Aghh this Naval dude, such a bright mind
28:49 This is Gold
Reading was my first love.
And it will be my last.
I’m re-listening
Like a fine book literally obsessed with him.
I LITERALLY stalk Naval..... Great content compressed in a few statements
Awesome! What is the name of the song in the beginning and the end of the episode?
Brah, that end part on Entropy was lit.
Is Atomic Habits the book he mentioned @20:14?
44:34 freedom: freedom to...VS freedom from...
40:14 same. Can never be around people where I have to hide myself.
You can't break habits,you can only replace them-NAVAL R
2:18 start
I wanna learn all your habits,Thans a lot
Does Mealime still exist? Tried searching for it on the App Store after hearing it’s name as a sponsor of this podcast but couldn’t find it.
"If someone says they're honest, they're probably not"
Naval, after talking in length about how honesty is important to him.
It's about being honest without bragging about it...just be honest in everything, people will know without you saying a word...that's why the ones that aren't, they have to tell it .
~1:05:00 Views on modern education
G’loss - Loss and Gain is the same
59:19 good words. Theres no one size fits all.
Could you pls share book names mentioned in this podcast?
You can find them on this page! fs.blog/knowledge-project-podcast/naval-ravikant/
A lot of his thinking is inspired from Osho
1:48:22 My philosophy is totally like Rational Buddhism… I now know what to call it!
What’s the book on habits that Naval mentioned at 20:16? Atomic Habits?
Hi Atisha,, Naval did not mention any book around the 20:16 point in this podcast. "Atomic Habits" is a book authored by James Clear. I have not read it but it got good reviews. You may benefit from it....or not. As Naval mentioned early in the podcast, (around the 10:00 mark) your choice of books should lean toward books you enjoy and benefit you. Naval is a reader who jumps from book to book and does not always finish a book he is reading. Sometime he will read until the book bores him then moves on to another. That is his style, Like you, I listened to this pod cast, partly, for book ideas. If you want Naval's entire reading list, go to farnamstreetblog.com/podcast . Good luck in your adventure !

👌
Great insights for clever minds
Fortunately I had done reading when easy web searching came along.
1:56:45 ...Did Mr. Master the Basics, Mr. I Love Science & Truth, Mr. Richard Feynman Is My Idol just say that the Heat Death of the universe will occur "in the next 70 billion years of so"? This is literally off by like 90 orders of magnitude!! 😂😂😂
Bookmark @43:38
how to be this articulate like naval ?
Listen to his Joe Rogan appearance. He explains that he focused very much on sounding smart to impress people before he had the chops.
@Mike Lee any training specifically that you mean?
Read a lot. That is what he does.
He recommended reading poetry as they crunch meanings in words.
Is there a transcript of this?
yes in his "tribe", see description
55:10 sameeee

He does not read much of “true literature”. Only Tolstoy. But I’m similarly undisciplined 😏.
Do it the way you like. Just do it everyday. If you wanna read everyday read what you are most interested in reading. Read the format you like the most. Read only the part you like them move on to new one. Just chill down bro if you wanna eat simply start by eating Junk food slowly you'll get to healthy one. But first it's important to do it everyday.
Question your habits. Habits are the preconditioned loop we pick to do things in background you can't just do everything just like you have encountered it for first time. In the way of choosing these habits we carry bad ones in the background all of our actions are based on habits. Why you sit certain way, why you judge, why you do anything on response to a thing. You need to question the habits. You are not the way you are, these are just your habits you need to come out of these bad loops. You need to *break the conditioning* just what we call the subconscious mind doings. Yup those are habits change the conditioning and pick new ones like what you want yourself to be.
Make your habits consciously not *Accidentally* change them according to what you currently want consciously. Have less habits but the ones which are like you wanna be.
Untrain yourself. It's hard but you can. It is possible to break a habit completely and make it.
Mind is a Tool, a servant it should not be your master. It shouldn't be controlling you. You shouldn't be doing everything like it wants us to.
It shouldn't be driving you 24*7.
You should be thinking mindfully. Of the topics you wanna think about not random crap mind throws at you.
Think what you wanna think about. Choose your thoughts .
Don't think uncontrollably. It should be controlled by you.
Never and Always limits you. Stops you from being happy and live.
If something is your *#1 priority* you do it simple.
Really number 1
Some questions have answers but they are personal. Like what is happiness? For some it's satisfaction, for some it's state of flow, for some it is when minds shuts down and there's nothing in it, No future or past, The internal silence.
Jonathan Haidt
Tony Robbins and Deepak Chopra are LIGHT YEARS ahead of Naval's musing on 'states of mind' and self discipline. Alas this is where our dobo has marooned itself init? Listen to the guy who (may) fund my dumb startup idea ...:/
