A guide to wealth and happiness.

Happiness Is a Choice

Naval argues that happiness is not something to be pursued — it's something to be practiced.

  • You can train your mind to be peaceful.
  • You don’t need more — you need less craving.

“A happy person isn't someone who's happy all the time. They're just someone who realizes they don't have to suffer.”

Takeaway

Peace is a default state — we return to it when we let go of desire and thought loops.
