The Almanack of Naval Ravikant by Eric Jorgenson is a collection of transcripts, tweets and interviews by Naval Ravikant.

Of the many topics touched upon in the book, Naval addresses on learning. This learning isn't the traditional school, college and university most of us associate the word with. It is much more than that.

Learning offers:

• A position of Leverage

• Ability to have valued judgement

Finding A Position of Leverage

Your genuine intellectual curiosity is worth following over a career that works just for money. A career built on your curiosity will be more sustainable and driven by interest and passion. A job will not feel like a chore.

If it entertains you now but will bore you someday, it's a distraction. Keep Looking - Naval

Having Valued Judgement

Having knowledge of certain things and converting that knowledge into valuable judgement is an aspiration every human should have says Naval. This requires credibility. Demonstration of the judgement with high accountability and a track record is critical.

Ex: Elon Musk has demonstrated valued judgement because he has delivered over and over through SpaceX and Tesla.

How do these two tie together?

By following your genuine intellectual curiosity and building a credible, consistent track record over time you accumulate a unique skill set.

This means that they can't replace you easily, or even not replace you at all because you have your own unique skills and valued judgments that cannot be found elsewhere. This is Leverage.

If they can train you to do it, then eventually they will train a computer to do it - Naval
