In this age of information, we are surrounded by all kinds of so-called "successology" and "chicken soup" every day. But there are not many books that can really touch people's hearts and make people feel empowered. Today, I would like to recommend to you a book that has had a profound impact on me – The Book of Navarre. This is not only a book about success, but also a "documentary" that records the mental journey of a true entrepreneur.
1. Subvert the conventional concept of success
Many of Nawal's views are counter-intuitive.
Today, when everyone is pursuing quick and shortcuts, he emphasizes first principles and encourages us to think from the basic disciplines of physics, mathematics, evolution, and microeconomics.
This seemingly "old-fashioned" approach is actually an insight into the essence of things. It allows us to get to the heart of the matter by bypassing the superficial complexity.
This way of thinking has great implications for long-termism and personal fulfillment. It makes us understand that success is not achieved overnight, but requires a solid foundation and one step at a time.
2. Unique insights on wealth and happiness
The Book of Navarre is divided into two broad chapters: wealth and happiness.
In the chapter on wealth, Nawal makes a point:
A person's life can only be mastered at one or two things that you are obsessed with.This sentence touched me a lot. In this era of diversity and rapid change, we are often attracted to new things, and as a result, we are distracted and unable to achieve depth in any one field.
Nawal, on the other hand, tells us to focus and focus, and only in this way can we stand out from the competition.
In the chapter on happiness, Nawal emphasizes the importance of being content with the status quo, living in the moment, developing good habits, and thinking positively.
These seemingly simple truths are often overlooked.
In the fast-paced life, we always pursue more, faster, and better, but we forget to stop and enjoy the scenery around us and feel the beauty of life.
Navarre reminds us that happiness is all around us, as long as we feel and cherish it with our hearts.
3. From self-redemption to inner peace
In the book, Nawal also shares his own journey and how to achieve self-redemption.
He tells us to do what we want to do and be true to our hearts. It is better to please others than to please yourself.
This sentence is a relief for many people.
In this social dye vat, we often lose ourselves in order to cater to others and for the sake of the so-called "face".
Nawal encourages us to be brave enough to be ourselves and pursue our true desires.
He also mentioned the importance of meditation. Through meditation, we can slow down our thoughts and observe and perceive changes in our hearts. Not only does this help us understand ourselves better, but it also keeps us calm and rational in the face of difficulties.
4. Conclusion: A treasure book worth reading repeatedly
The Book of Navarre is not just a book, it is a book about the wisdom of life and the code of success.
It teaches us how to look at things with an unintuitive mindset, how to focus and focus on what we truly love, and how to pursue true happiness from within.
This book is worth reading again and again and putting the wisdom into practice. I believe that as long as you read and experience it with your heart, you will definitely be able to find your own treasure in it.
