Outstanding article, Tim. Naval is a treasure but I’ve never seen it summarised so usefully. Saving this

Epic stuff, had to google who this guy was, but he's firmly on the radar now.

You're like a (more) accessible Tim Ferriss, Maitre Denning. The 4 Hour Work-Week, updated. Gracias.

PS we're trying for a baby, so way behind you on that journey, but I'm already feeling a strong urge to distil the best of what I love about life, to present it to them in a Greatest Hits kinda thing so they can pick and mix what works for them.

Cheer Quy. You can write online too.

All the best with the baby stuff. Hope it works out for you my friend :)

I am also training an internee and have ordered him to read one of your article every day and give me the summary. Now, he is also your fan. ;)

I love Naval quotes but even more I love to hear how your experiences proved these valuable life lessons.

Glad you like my experiences Anna :)

Saved it to my "Inspiration" folder and shared it with a couple of friends to chew over. Makes a lot of sense to me, but not many people in my network share a similar philosophy. Unfortunately. I guess it's time to opt them out LOOL. Anyways, thanks Tim, great writing!

Bloody good post, Mr. Denning. You make Naval’s work even better.

Funny thing about #7 is that our conflicting views on gun ownership (calling back to your post on America having a gun problem) almost triggered me when I read that other post until I realize that was idiotic of me.

Just because you saw something different than I didn’t mean you were wrong. It’s your opinion and I wasn’t going to let one measly opinion shut me out to great writing.

Thanks for being a badass.

Great thought. No point getting triggered. Opposite opinions stretch our mind, We can disagree and still be friends :)

I am thrilled that Naval's been reading my unpublished life memoir. LOL. And, you, Tim, are my hero. Thank you for word-crafting with class. Now THAT even sounds like an article waiting for me to write.

You should write that article Donna :)
