The Free Book I Read That Said Everything the Motivational Speakers Were Afraid to Say#285

Over time and recently, I have seen and read some of all this self-development content both from people in my country and around the world, and all I can say is that they all have the same pattern. Nothing new. Someone from a rich background who is doing well wrote a book and addressed the reader to always have positive thoughts, and everything will come. After a while, for me, since I have seen similar patterns of those contents over and over again, I got very bored because they all look recycled to me, just that they have different creators. Then late last year, when I was searching for other content to get me occupied, I came across this free PDF I once saw in a comment section on X, The Almanack of Naval Ravikant. I ignored it at first and then decided to download it the following day, and since I read it, it has become one of my favorite books because it has, in a way, rearranged how I understood almost everything, if not all.

While reading the book, I had to Google the name of the author, and I discovered that this man is not even a motivational speaker, a pastor, or one of all these life coaches trying to sell online courses. He is just someone who has a very deep and wild understanding about some things like health, life purpose, happiness, and even wealth. Then he tried his best by putting those things together. And while reading, one of the things he wrote that got my attention was his idea that getting rich is all about having specific knowledge and has nothing really to do with hard work alone because some are working very hard but have nothing to show. He went ahead to say that having specific knowledge is not something anyone is or can be trained for, something that when others see, it looks like work to them, but to the person doing it, it looks like a play. I had to go over that sentence over and over again to decode it. Because over here, what I have been told is to always work very hard without me being asked what I was actually built for.

And when it comes to relationships, he was brutally honest. He went ahead to say that it's very important to settle with people with high integrity and run away from those who get angry, and most especially spend time with those who our hearts are drawn to and people who always see and bring out the very possible best in us, not those who try to badmouth or bring us to the carpet level. Though those words look very simple to me, the weight they carry is much. But in an environment where maintaining connection due to what they can offer us is normal, that hits different.
And when it also comes to health, what he said was that if a body is sick, then it will be hard for such a body to carry a wealthy mind.

Unlike the rest of the motivational books from different people, this book made me think very differently and clearly because it opened my mind to a lot of other things too. It never gave me any promises. It just pointed out how a lot of things usually works and how I can equally implement them in my daily life. Because recently, I have gotten to discover that one of the blessings I can receive is not encouragement but clarity. And that is exactly what this book gave me free of charge without shouting, though it is about 240 plus pages and it is really worth it.
