This is my fourth time returning for this yearly ritual of listening to the Wisdom of Naval One of the best podcast for life, beats a lot of books learning
Naval is the father, caring brother’s figure I wished to have growing up .. also listening to him as an adult I feel I was able to choose and learn to be so comfortable with myself before to face the society turning weaknesses & lack into strength and had to figuring out along the way we are kind of all the same with our own individuality, and at some point you’ll find your people to enjoy this journey with after you met and build the foundation for/in yourself and overcome adversities with more ease.. I just enjoy how life works by given us so many gifts and opportunities when we are ready to hear, see and receive, like knowing people like him exist, sharing the same planet and think the way he thinks giving me this inner boost of positivity as we are all connected to each other without to know each other.
@@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?
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
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.
needs lot of rewatching, lot of pauses, lot of rethinking on what naval says, naval is such a deep thinker.. dont know how he does that, is it the books? is it his self reflection... good to have bumped to this video.
I stopped drinking since last 8 months, and I do not think completely quitting is a bad idea. I have never felt the urge to drink to feel happy. My point is one can pull it off without a substitute also - the mornings are blissful!
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.
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.
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.
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 .
1:26:43 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
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 !

This is probably the best thing on the internet. Thank you.
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.

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.
Listening to naval's podcast on first day of my post-graduation class.
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.
Definitely one of the most interesting minds out there.
Thank you Shane for the great interview...
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
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.

He is so spontaneous, eloquent and full of interesting insights 😊
What an amazing man. He will be remembered.
Value for words spoken out is so high from Naval all the time...

One of the best, if not the best interview on this podcast
Excellent excellent interviewing skills
Shane, this episode got me hooked into podcasting so much so that i started my own, thank you for inspiring me. Keep crushing it.

Incredible knowledge and discourse. Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks for listening

Thank you Shane for the great interview...
Grateful for your open sharing! 😇
I see Naval , I click
What a podcast! And what a Guy, NR!
Love listening to this guy
This is the deepest interview with Naval so far
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.
this is Fantastic! FANTASTIC!!!
Great episode! Thank you! Very inspiring
Was binging on Naval videos while i got this notification. Thank You
Me too😄... What do do bro?
We will make it, bros

Which author was Naval referring to about The Art of Manipulation?
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
Great podcast!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Damn!
Naval is a such a deep thinker
finished it whole just now. thanks for all the gems, im a gem generator too.
Thank you for sharing your idea and boiled down thoughs. Truly inspirational.
I LITERALLY stalk Naval..... Great content compressed in a few statements
Just finished! Love all of the Farnam Streets Podcast and this one was great!
i love this interview so much. thaank you just thank you
Naval, stop reading and start writing that book.
please do a part 2!
This is great conversation ☺️☺️ thanks 👍
Aghh this Naval dude, such a bright mind
Looking forward to this, bookmarked.
Aside from the learning Naval needs to do about the meaning of life at the end, this was an interesting listen.
Brah, that end part on Entropy was lit.
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.

Oh. Didn't know that.. How old is this? Any idea when was it recorded?
40:14 same. Can never be around people where I have to hide myself.
"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 .
44:34 freedom: freedom to...VS freedom from...
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
Wow. Thank you 🙏
Incredible thoughts
Reading was my first love.
And it will be my last.
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.
naval is in Good mood by now
Sound so much like the tim ferris podcast still love it
All internal scorecards are real ... Jealousy waste of time ... Just be you ...lonely self esteem love
Fortunately I had done reading when easy web searching came along.
I’m re-listening
Like a fine book literally obsessed with him.
A lot of his thinking is inspired from Osho
Superlike!
Great episode.

I wanna learn all your habits,Thans a lot
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

Listen to his Joe Rogan appearance. He explains that he focused very much on sounding smart to impress people before he had the chops.

Read a lot. That is what he does.
He recommended reading poetry as they crunch meanings in words.
