The Wild Psychology of Elon Musk - Eric Jorgenson - #1082

0:00How many copies of the Navalmanac have you sold now?

0:02It's tough to know, but I think we're coming up on 2 million.

0:06How's that feel?

0:07I'm still, the word I like to use is gobsmacked.

0:10Like, I really thought I was doing fan service for a few thousand Navalnerds, and the fact that it's like 40 languages and millions of people, and we've given away a few million more, right?

0:20Like, I don't even really know.

0:21Oh, so that's how many were sold because it was available for free through the website.

0:24Yeah, which is another like 5 million plus.

0:27Really hard to track.

0:28I think it's my most suggested book when people say, where should I start with personal development?

0:34Essentialism by Greg McEwen or the Navalanak.

0:37That's incredible.

0:38And that's, I mean, I had no idea how many people were going to resonate with it and recommend it.

0:43And, you know, I think the highest compliment a gift, the highest compliment a book can receive is to be gifted.

0:49And so much of what we read comes from what's recommended.

0:52Like, how often do you see an ad for a book and buy it?

0:54Like, almost never.

0:55Yeah.

0:55The bars are too high.

0:56Yeah.

0:57And the subtitle of this new one is A Guide to Purpose and Success about Elon.
