Naval comments that if he had to do it all over again, he would have done the same things except for 2 aspects: Less emotions/anger & more long-term perspective.

Then, Naval gets into the weeds of the most important and real game in life. Which most humans are not playing because it goes against our evolutionary wiring.

Enjoy!

* In hindsight, I wish I have done the same things I did but with less emotion & anger.

• Anger is unnecessary.

• Do things with a very long-term perspective.

• How to Reduce the Anger/Emotions...
• * Become an observer of your mind thoughts -- Become Self-Aware -- Separate yourself from your uncontrolled-thinking ("mad creature"). Freedom resides in that separation.
** Awareness alone will calm you down

• Tip to not respond with anger:
• * When you get angry/upset, wait for 24h. Then respond.
*** You will respond with better judgement (more mental clarity)

• Why most people wont try to improve their mental state?
• * Because it's an internal single player non competitive game. And this is not a game that we are naturally conditioned to play. We are socially conditioned -- We are driven for external things and seek validation from others.

• But... life is a single-player game.

• All the real scorecards are internal

* Jealousy
* * If you are not willing to trade your life fully for that other person's life, why would you be jealous?

* Only the individual can transcend. Don't look for socializing when working on your inner state.

I completely agree with him. I think we should all just stop getting used by our emotions and get focussed on the long term outcome versus the short term angst. It's not worth suffering the waves of emotions (especially the dark ones) even if you win at the end.

"When you work on your internal stuff...people don't love it" - Hell yeah...

In Othello, Shakespeare echoes Naval’s comment on the self-eroding nature of jealousy:

“... jealousy; It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock the meet it feeds on”

Thanks for sharing this clip. This channel is doing a net good :)

Wow this really makes a lot of sence, I'll try no to care about anyone but myself I really need that

[mayanksharma]

Thanks for sharing such great videos! Could you please share which tool you use to make the video? Especially the picture-in-picture and slide part.

Focus on your purpose and audit yourself regularly.

[AverageAngel]

Emotions are not somewhere that we should live or make decisions based on

[UnfilteredTrue]

How can I contact Naval Ravikant, I seriously need to ask him something.

[indexplus]

You can choose your response, you can't choose your feelings.

2:00 long term pov, 4:30 your out of control until you realize it

Your jealousy comes from your roots in Delhi/Panjab

Love Naval. But disagree with him here. There are many social rewards for having a good happy internal state. For example, you attract better friends to you, you respond better in crises, etc.

The guy was in a big lawsuit in his twenties and this does not apply to most people. 👎
