A review of the only book Tim Ferris has done a foreword for in recent years. The Almanack Of Naval Ravikant is a brilliant guide on how to live well. Wealth, happiness, habits, judgement, meditation and so much more is covered in the book. I would recommend everyone listen to Naval on Joe Rogans podcast as well as reading the book.

You can get the book for free here: https://www.navalmanack.com/
