Naval Ravikant

Investor, founder of AngelList, and philosopher of modern entrepreneurship. Known for an aphoristic style that compresses ideas about wealth, happiness, and thinking into memorable lines.

His best-known book-shaped artifact is The Almanack of Naval Ravikant from 2020, compiled by Eric Jorgenson, sold more than a million copies, and also available for free. The format later inspired an entire series.

Recurring theses include: wealth comes from leverage rather than labor, specific knowledge cannot be taught cleanly, happiness can be designed, and peace with oneself matters more than status.

He also wrote the foreword to The Book of Elon.
