Nothing, but the actual engagement with any of these ideas is approximately 0%. In a work presenting itself as the collected Almanack of Wisdom by a Wise Man, one would hope to see more than pithy collection of buzzwords and advice, all centered on "Getting rich." If the primary reason you're interested in Buddhist techniques is to make money, I think you may have missed the point.
If Silicon Valley (the satirical TV show) had a book version, it would look something like this.

- ceilingcorner 6y agoI have perused it, considerably. Perhaps Naval's best "work", if you can call it that, is entitled How to Get Rich. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-TZqOsVCNM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-TZqOsVCNM Right off the bat, he makes some pretty silly arguments, such as: people/journalists only criticize the rich because they're playing a status game and want to be rich too. That's it. It really is that simple according to Naval. His entire oeuvre has the same level of intellectual calibre.
- scotthtaylor 6y agoHaha, agree!
