AngelList founder and the philosopher-investor behind the Almanack of Naval Ravikant. He has described a deliberately minimal routine: a full hour of unguided meditation every morning, a daily hour in the gym, no breakfast, and reading whatever genuinely holds his interest, habits chosen for peace of mind rather than optimization.
