5/5 Overall, this book felt raw, genuine, and timeless. Not a step-by-step guide, but a mindset manifesto. I’ll return to its wisdom even if I’m still skeptical about the cold showers (but worth a try I guess).

4/5 His dismissal risks glossing over the grind behind expertise. Still, his point, directing energy wisely, is valid. The section on happiness felt like a warm, personal chat. Naval’s journey from misery to peace, framed as a learned skill, was uplifting. It’s a chapter I’ll revisit on tough days.

3/5 His take on specific knowledge, skills born from curiosity rather than training, resonated deeply. It also aligns with Atomic Habits’ identity-driven change but pushes further. While Naval calls hard work ‘overrated,’ I wrestled with this. Judgment and leverage matter, but foundational skills require effort.

1/5 The Almanack of Naval Ravikant is a refreshing blend of philosophy and practicality. The Q&A format makes complex ideas like wealth-building and happiness feel conversational and accessible.

2/5 Naval’s focus on ownership and leverage and wealth as assets that work while you sleep (equity, code, media) shifted my mindset on wealth creation. It is not merely about the hours of work you put in but rather about creating scalable value.

5/5 Also, the emphasis on choosing habits that align with who I am, not what’s most popular was eye-opening. For example, if I prefer certain types of books or workouts, I should lean into those instead of forcing myself into something that doesn’t excite me. Habits need to be enjoyable to stick, and that’s something I’ll keep in mind as I experiment with new routines.

4/5 The key idea that stuck with me was how tiny changes compound over time to create massive results. It made me think about all the small actions I do daily that might seem insignificant now but could lead to big improvements down the line. I also liked the idea of temptation bundling and designing my environment to make good habits easier. It sparked thoughts about rearranging my space and pairing tasks I enjoy with those I dread.

3/5 While I appreciated the framework of the four laws of behaviour change, I felt like there could’ve been more depth when it comes to applying them practically. Some parts touched on implementation strategies, but I wanted a clearer roadmap or system for achieving each law consistently. Maybe some additional resources or templates would’ve been helpful here.

2/5 Self-reflection and awareness stood out to me too. So often, I find myself slipping into autopilot mode without questioning why or how effective my routines really are. This resonated with me because it’s easy to go through motions without actually growing or improving. Also, the practical steps provided, like habit stacking, making good habits obvious, and designing your environment to support your goals felt actionable and realistic. The real-life examples helped solidify these ideas.

1/5 Here’s my review of Atomic Habits from the NS reading list: Atomic Habits provides a clear and actionable way of changing and building habits and becoming a better version of yourself. I really connected with the idea that internal change and self-perception are key to building habits. It feels more genuine than other self-help advice that just tells you to "force" habits onto yourself. Breaking down behaviour into cue, craving, response, and reward was super helpful, it makes the process feel less overwhelming and easier to tackle step-by-step.

Once I had all the pictures, I went to Canva, compiled them together, and edited them like a comic strip.

Prompt 5: A futuristic city-state sprawls across the top right corner. Sleek buildings adorned with QR codes and digital displays reach into the clouds. Flying cars zip between structures, and a massive bitcoin forms the center of the city. Prompt 6:A flag planted on a digital hill overlooks the entire scene.

Prompt 3: A swirling vortex of 1s and 0s emerges from a white laptop which is in focus, forming a path that leads upward. Along this path, tiny figures (representing early adopters) are surfing on smartphones and tablets. Prompt 4: A digital realm begins to materialize into physical structures. Half-built buildings flicker between digital wireframes and solid forms. Construction drones buzz around.

Once I had the basic storyline, I then used Mid journey to generate the events. I created six different images based on the formation stages of a Network State. I maintained a consistent aesthetic for the generations by specifying that I wanted the style to be simple, reminiscent of a comic book, and black and white for every image generated. Prompt 1: A young girl with wild hair shaped like a network sits cross-legged on the floor of her cluttered apartment, surrounded by screens and gadgets. She's typing furiously on a laptop, with a light bulb icon above her head. Prompt 2: A digital path of 0s and 1s widens into a bustling town square. Holographic meetups are taking place, with people from diverse backgrounds exchanging ideas.

These are the steps I used to create it: I went to Claude and explained that I was making a comic strip to show how a network grows from one person's idea to eventually become a big network state. I asked it to provide a good and catchy comic book script, character names, and setting for this project, making it fun, witty, engaging, and creative.
