These comments are bad ass. Navals own about wealth. Crazy some people get it. Most people i know think it's the jews, illuminati or matrix 🤣 that distributes wealth. It's easy to just think that and if it's that easy it's probably wrong
These books remind me of a good book by Cal Newport called "So Good They Can't Ignore You". SGTCIY focuses more on a personal skill level and doesn't really touch on product or company level but it reminds me of "Zero to One" because it highlights three characteristics of the value you're offering that will put you in the position where you can be the price setter. I not sure I can remember all three exactly because it was a while ago that I read the book, but it was something like: "Get really good at something that is difficult, that not many people do, that many people value" - something like that.
However SGTCIY pushes back against the idea in the Naval book that "specific knowledge is found pursuing your genuine curiosity and passion, rather than valuing what is hot right now" and that "specific knowledge should seem like play to you, but look like work to others."
However, the key takeaway that you found with Naval's book, is the key takeaway I take from Cal's book - "Productise yourself".

Zero to One is a favorite!
You inspired me to share a book list with my audience as well! Here it is. Thanks for the inspiration!

The book of Naval is something else, I read it twice
