3.5/5
I think the title is slightly misleading. Unlike much of the business and self-help literature out there, this book doesn't offer actionable guidance on how to get rich within a meaningful timeframe. What it does emphasise instead is the long game: deliberately honing your skills, not selling yourself short, being courageous, and eventually, over 10-20 years, earning your reward.
I found this short book to be more of a compendium of quotes, aphorisms, and anecdotes you might recognise from many popular business, self-help, and philosophy titles, distilled into roughly 160 pages. If you're an active reader whose interests extend beyond a single genre, especially within non-fiction such as science, economics, computer science, mathematics, or philosophy, you may find many of these ideas a bit thin or lacking context. For instance, Naval frequently references and quotes Nassim Nicholas Taleb, but reading Taleb's original works provides far more depth and nuance than the excerpts here. Ironically, as Naval himself often points out, one of the key habits of highly successful people is reading books widely and in volume.
On the positive side, I appreciated that Naval doesn't make hard claims or present his views as the only path to success - something that's all too common in this genre. That said, his perspective is clearly biased toward the world of technology and internet-based companies.
All in all, it's a polished and concise read that will likely resonate with many non-fiction readers who are interested in success, but it's unlikely to offer much novelty to those already well-read in the space.
