The Almanack of Naval Ravikant
Collected thinking on wealth, specific knowledge and happiness
Code, media, capital and labor: the four things that multiply your output, and the spine of the wealth half. The happiness half is closer to philosophy. Eric Jorgenson compiled it from Naval Ravikant's writing and interviews, organized into short passages, and it is free to read online, which is how most people encounter it.
