I have been struggling to articulate exactly why but this just feels like advice for men. I don’t think it works out the same way for women to simply follow your intellectual interests

No one complains about over educated men, but they scream and scream and scream about over educated women. 

There’s personal reward in following these passions yes, but I don’t think you should expect society to reward you like Naval says it will here

I agree with you yes the advice is inspiring, but it assumes a level of acceptance that doesn’t always exist for women. Society often historically scrutinizes educated women in ways it doesn’t for men, labeling them as “overeducated” or out of place.
