Q&A preview

Answer

Naval explains two distinct paths to happiness using the story of Alexander and Diogenes. The first path is through success—conquering the world, satisfying material needs, and getting what you want. The second path, exemplified by Diogenes living in a barrel, is simply not wanting in the first place. As Socrates said when shown luxuries: 'How many things there are in this world that I do not want.' Naval suggests not wanting something is as good as having it—both paths lead to the same destination of contentment [00:38–01:10]. He's not sure which path is more valid, noting it depends on how you define success [01:10–01:25].
