Naval is one of the wisest people I know of. Learn about everything from inequality to the meaning of life. "Desire is a contract you have made with yourself to be unhappy." “We should be focusing on outcome inequality not income inequality.” “If all your political beliefs line up into one political party you are not a clear thinker.” “A healthy person wants 10,000 things. A stick person wants one thing”… and is that one thing even health? Or is it to spend time with their loved ones? Are you spending as much time with your loved ones as you should?

Herbert Marcuse's posits that the US is actually teaching people to be workers and then to consume, so they then have to go back and work more. That people are stuck on a loop of work and consume, thinking they need newer and more expensive things (eg keeping up with the Joneses by having a nicer car). In this regard Marcuse says people have been taught to 'love their chains' to the point that they do not know they are enslaved. This is a fascinating critique of a modern capitalism democratic society.
Today we talk about Herbert Marcuse's concepts of The Great Refusal and The New Sensibility.

This is a special episode of the podcast. It's a sample chapter from my new book, Tools of Titans: The Tactics, Routines, and Habits of Billionaires, Icons, and World-Class Performers. What follows are 17 questions that have dramatically changed my life. Each one is time-stamped, as they entered the picture at precise moments. Enjoy! Show notes and links for this episode can be found at www.fourhourworkweek.com/podcast. This podcast is brought to you by Wealthfront. Wealthfront is a massively disruptive (in a good way) set-it-and-forget-it investing service, led by technologists from places like Apple and world-famous investors. It has exploded in popularity in the last two years and now has more than $2.5B under management. In fact, some of my good investor friends in Silicon Valley have millions of their own money in Wealthfront. Why? Because you can get services previously limited to the ultra-wealthy and only pay pennies on the dollar for them, and it's all through smarter software instead of retail locations and bloated sales teams. Check out wealthfront.com/tim, take their risk assessment quiz, which only takes two to five minutes, and they'll show you for free exactly the portfolio they'd put you in. If you want to just take their advice and do it yourself, you can. Or, as I would, you can set it and forget it. Well worth a few minutes: wealthfront.com/tim. This podcast is also brought to you by 99Designs, the world's largest marketplace of graphic designers. I have used them for years to create some amazing designs. When your business needs a logo, website design, business card, or anything you can imagine, check out 99Designs.

Naval Ravikant is the CEO and co-founder of AngelList. He’s invested in more than 100 companies, including Uber, Twitter, Yammer, and many others.
It’s difficult to nail down exactly what we discuss in our conversation because I had so many questions to ask him. Naval is an incredibly deep thinker who challenges the status quo on so many things. This is an interview you’ll want to listen to, think a bit, and then listen to again.
Here are just a few of the many things we cover in this episode:
And so, so much more.
Just a heads up, this is the longest podcast I’ve ever done. While it felt like only thirty minutes, our conversation lasted over two hours!
And although it is the longest, it’s also our most downloaded episode on the Knowledge Project, so make sure you have a pen and paper handy. There’s a lot of wisdom up for grabs here.
Enjoy this amazing conversation.

Lecture 1 in my Psychological Significance of the Biblical Stories series from May 16th at Isabel Bader Theatre in Toronto. In this lecture, I describe what I consider to be the idea of God, which is at least partly the notion of sovereignty and power, divorced from any concrete sovereign or particular, individual person of power. I also suggest that God, as Father, is something akin to the spirit or pattern inherent in the human hierarchy of authority, which is based in turn on the dominance hierarchies characterizing animals.

Hear how selling 5 million core if his book left Mark Manson feeling hopeless.
"The opposite of happiness Is not anger or sadness, the opposite of happiness is hopelessness." Mark is one of the new age stoics, I find his writing and conversations highly accessible and nutritious.
