| 0:00.0 | Hi friends, welcome back. My guest today is Eric Jorgensen and he has spent the last three years |
| 0:05.6 | and over a million words putting together the almond-ac of Navale-RavaCant. Now if you don't |
| 0:11.6 | know who Navale is, he's a thinker and founder from Silicon Valley, but more importantly he's |
| 0:18.1 | risen to prominence I guess over the last few years with his Twitter feed, which is |
| 0:24.2 | kind of like if Aristotle or Seneca or Marcus Aurelius was living in the 21st century and just |
| 0:30.2 | constantly putting out absolute gold, that's that's kind of like what it's like to follow Navale online. |
| 0:36.2 | And the problem is that all of his work is distributed in tiny little 240 character tweets and |
| 0:42.7 | three minute podcast episodes that he does. So Eric's goal was to compile all of that and then |
| 0:49.5 | condense it down into a single easily digestible reference of all of Navale's work. And today we |
| 0:57.0 | get to go through exactly what he learned upon that mammoth task. I adore Navale's work, I think |
| 1:04.7 | he genuinely is one of the most unique thinkers that's alive today and I couldn't be happier to |
| 1:10.8 | help him promote this project. By the way, this book is free. You can pay for a hardcover or a paper |
| 1:17.0 | back on Amazon, but you can go to Navale Manac, which is linked in the show notes below. And you |
| 1:22.6 | can pick up a PDF or an ebook copy of this absolutely for free. So please tweet Eric, tell him thank |
| 1:29.4 | you for dedicating three years of your life to a project, which is just so phenomenal that it |
| 1:37.0 | should be easily a hundred pounds per download. Yeah, I really hope that you enjoyed today. We |
| 1:41.9 | talk about wealth, happiness, desire, how we limit our own ability to stay present. Some of the |
| 1:47.6 | contradictions in what Navale says and in modern philosophy as well, it's a really insightful |
| 1:52.7 | discussion that I think could have a profound impact on your life if you're in the right place to |
| 1:57.0 | hear it. In other news, this episode of the podcast is brought to you by Surfshark VPN, protect your |
| 2:04.0 | browsing online and get access to the entire world's Netflix library for less than the price of a |
| 2:08.7 | cup of coffee per month. Realistically, you're not going to be globe-trotting anytime soon. So you |
