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].

Answer
Start with reducing blue light at night by enabling Night Shift or Android Bed Mode, which shifts blue-enriched light to warmer tones below the 30 lux threshold to preserve melatonin [01:02–01:20]. For late-night phone checks, activate red light mode for complete blue light elimination [01:20–01:46]. The video explains that staring at blue light from your phone suppresses melatonin and spikes cortisol, making it harder to fall asleep and reducing sleep quality even if you do fall asleep quickly [00:27–01:02].
