Eric Jorgenson
Updated 2026-04-06
Author and entrepreneur, best known as the curator of the Almanack book series. He effectively invented a format: distilling a living person with significant ideas through their public statements, without full biography or chronology, only the most useful thoughts.
Works
- The Almanack of Naval Ravikant (2020) - more than one million copies sold, available free as PDF
- The Book of Elon (2024) - Musk’s ideas in his own words, with a foreword by Naval Ravikant
What Makes the Format Special
It is curatorial rather than investigative work. Jorgenson does not mainly judge. He selects, arranges, and compresses. The reader gets the densest version of a worldview without most of the surrounding noise.
