A genuine love for reading, Naval believes, is a superpower. “I think that [reading] alone accounts for any material success that I’ve had in my life and any intelligence that I might have,” says Naval. If you want to educate yourself, learn to love to read. “The foundation of learning is reading. I don’t know a smart person who doesn’t read, and r...
Naval suggests to start reading easy books, books that you like reading. “Start wherever you are,” Naval says, “and then keep building from there until reading becomes a habit.” Start with fiction, then you may graduate to science fiction, then to nonfiction, then to science or math or philosophy. Whatever it is that you read, take your natural pat...
Unlike Bill Gates, who doesn’t read a book he doesn’t intend to finish, Naval doesn’t force himself to finish reading a book. He says, “A really good book, I will flip through. I won’t necessarily read it exactly in order. And I won’t even finish it.” Naval doesn’t care about reading a book to completion. What he cares about are ideas that he wants...
Some nonfiction books are just articles expanded and loaded with related materials to fill the pages to create a book. Naval doesn’t read those books from start to finish. He skims them.

If Naval comes across a fundamental ‘ah-ha’ insight, he distills it into a few characters and posts it on Twitter. “Some people love to take notes,” says Naval. “My notetaking is Twitter.” He says that his tweets serve as his pointers, addresses, or mnemonics, and they help him recall deep-seated principles anytime he needs them.
Naval suggests reading the originals. “Don’t read the current interpretation someone is feeding you about how things should be done,” he says. If what you’re trying to figure out is old, read old books. “Any book that survived for years has been filtered through many people. They stood the test of time.” They’re called classics for a reason.
Read and skim a lot of books. And reread only the best ones. Today we can easily access so many books that we get so much advice that all cancel to zero. So, identify the best books that sing to you, and reread them until what you learned from them becomes part of your daily routine or behavior. Naval says, “I would rather read the best 100 books o...
