Naval Ravikant is an entrepreneur, philosopher, and investor who has captivated the world with his principles for building wealth and creating long-term happiness. The Almanack of Naval Ravikant is a collection of Naval’s wisdom and experience from the last 10 years, shared as a curation of his most insightful interviews and poignant reflections. This isn’t a how-to book, or a step-by-step gimmick. Instead, through Naval’s own words, you will learn how to walk your own unique path toward a happier, wealthier life.

Touching
Reviewed: 11-01-20
One of the shortest books I listened too but worth its weight in gold. Phenomenal man, Og Mandino, this speech was very relevant for today as it touches on the essential truths for success. It gives hope especially in these trying times. “With feet to take me where I go, with eyes to see the sunsets glow, with ears to hear what I would know, Oh God, forgive me when I whine. I’m blessed indeed, the world is mine.”

Story5 out of 5 stars 11,857
Ulysses S. Grant's life has typically been misunderstood. All too often he is caricatured as a chronic loser and an inept businessman or as the triumphant but brutal Union general of the Civil War. But these stereotypes don't come close to capturing him, as Chernow reveals in his masterful biography, the first to provide a complete understanding of the general and president whose fortunes rose and fell with dizzying speed and frequency.

On April 4, 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated outside of his room at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis. What happened inside room 306 on the evening of April 3 is the subject of Katori Hall's The Mountaintop. Hours after King's final speech, punctuated by his immortal line "I've been to the mountaintop", the celebrated reverend forms an unlikely friendship with a motel maid as they talk into the early hours of what will be his final day.

I listened to this at work today and have to say I was touched. Martins struggle with his impending death has me rethinking my affairs with my loved ones and purpose. This book depicts that Martin was human with fears, weaknesses and errors of his own. I felt for him and after the book ended I sat in silence for awhile absorbing the message. What a great man. I am truly humbled. Thank you for this story

Love, Lucy is the valentine Lucille Ball left for her fans—a warm, wise, and witty memoir written by Lucy herself. The legendary star of the classic sitcom I Love Lucy was at the pinnacle of her success when she sat down to record the story of her life. No comedienne had made America laugh so hard, no television actress had made the leap from radio and B movies to become one of the world’s best-loved performers. This is her story—in her own words.

Great Autobiography. My first one in awhile. I learned a lot from her struggles in life to be successful and how all the frustrations of the past coalesced together later in life to make her into the success in show business. I also learned how two people can not be right for each other no matter how hard you try to make it work. There needs to be some common groundwork in relationships and it takes TWO to make things work. One person can’t be doing all the good when another is volatile and reasonable. I liked her connection with Norman Vincent Peale and how she had devotion to her children. Lucy has taught me to work hard, dream big and live with love!

The one thing is a great book! It has helped me to prioritize my life into what matters most versus distractions. I've listened to it several times and each time I listen to it I come up with new distinctions. Well written book. I love it.
