- How do we get to be the best at any given domain? Naval Ravikant, Kapil Gupta and the renown psychiatrist Carl Jung (presented by Jordan Peterson) seems to agree in the driver behind greatness ---- A deep obsession into that domain, which results in forging a unique path that is far off from the prescribed "how to's" of that particular domain.

- Prescriptions are "how-to's"
- For achieving something meaningful, it is not only "how to's" but also art. And this comes from thinking deeply on the destination/goal.
- The problem arises when people focus more on the prescription's process rather than the ultimate destination. They think "if I do this set of things (prescribed), I will get y". Whereas it should be formulated as "In order to reach y, what are the set of inputs that I need to act upon"
- This is why business biographies are useful only for inspiration, but not as a prescription to reach the same end as the person in the book
"How to's" only works for mechanical things and as a starting point for a specific destination. But to perform "on top of the game" in something you gotta step aside from prescriptions and forge your own unique path
"If you want to be the best in the world at anything, you can't follow prescriptions. " - Naval
Prescriptions not only affect the ones that wanna be the best at anything, but also the people that doesn't want to struggle. Ex: hard work is not related with work efficiency
Greatness at anything comes from being obsessed with that something, and eventually you find a path to get it. Is the small details that constitutes greatness. The person that is great at anything can't possibly transmit all these details (and he is not even conscious of some), so he formulates the highlights. Then of course, if whoever only follows these highlights (prescriptions) he/she will never reach the same success. So, the utility of the business books and prescriptions from top successful people resides only in its capability to inspire, but not to show the exact path you have to execute.
Carl Jung had a similar perspective…
"The fool is the precursor to the saviour"
Is important to have a "will to stupidity".
Be willing to try new things. Most likely you will fail. But is from the failings that someone learns and grows, and over time that is what will get you the right judgement to spot the right opportunity
The lesson I take away --- To be the best at something, follow things you are obsessed about. If you succeed, that's good. If you fail, you learn and eventually will succeed as well!
“You have to be your own teacher” ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti
One of Naval's favorite philosophers!
I also love jiddu Krishnamurthy. Let us make this world sane place to live

Create your own path through obsession, don't follow the prescriptions
Interest will guide you to maximum development (call to adventure)
I hear these people and I wish one day that I will success and talk like them❤️ truly in love with these conversations
Naval Ravikant and Jordan Peterson are some of the greatest minds I enjoy listening to. This video is a great combination.
Thanks!
i love the first two guys when that kermit nasally sounding Peterson guy comes with his overly verbose sentences its like nails on chalkboard
This is the single best video i listened this year, thanks alot
Thank you !! :)
28 year old Ben Francis, founder of billion dollar company, gym shark at the age of 19 or maybe 17 actually....
Asked "How to find an idea to be an entrepreneur"
Answered on the spot, in the most genuine, straight forward way, as if a gun was held to his head: "Lean into your passion"
How many people will follow Ben Francis advice?
As Naval says also, find something that is both work and play. It looks like work to everyone else but work for yourself.
Soo good!! This is something that most people miss..thank you for posting!
Thanks for watching :)
One of my favourite places to learn from.
Thanks for your work, really love the creativity and the effort you put.
Thank you! Glad you enjoy it :)
Reversed lesson: if you're not obsessed about anything you can't be the best at anything.
As Bukowski said about becoming a writer: "wait".
It took me another 5 minutes to realize that Bukowski's whole "So you want to be a writer" describes this topic in a poetic way. And of course it would have been a sin to not mention "If you're going to try go all the way".
Thank you :)

Describes what topic?
I really like the ending of your videos, actually reading these quotes allows me to understand what they’re saying in a new light. Brilliant
Thank You !!
Agree

Thank you !!
Such a lovely channel, thank you for everything
Thank you :)
Thank you..so many things unveiled..
thank you for existing!
Great video friend
Thank you Jordan! I just discovered your channel few days ago! I absolutely love it :)
This is so true. There’s no how to guide to significant creative achievement. However I disagree with some of the points made here
- reading biographies of creative ppl can share clues of how to succeed creatively in broad general themes (take your own path, work hard, follow your natural bend)
- furthermore, first person accounts from successful ppl often accentuate the wrong parts of the story.
- there is possibly a how to guide to significant creative achievement it’s going to come from a scientist who studies creative ppl where they are searching for general themes.
I always wonder, how can these too talk so deep, they are just into the thing, it's brilliant.
the video teach how to be great, and they said learning how to won't let you there. that's deep
Great channel bud, I watched so many videos which give me magnificent insights.
Unfortunately I doubt that you will have a lot of suscribers becuase the concepts are complex and boring for the average person, so don't feel demotivated when that happen
Best of luck 🤞🍀
Thank You :)
Nice surprise remix from the legends!
Very unique channel, keep going.
thank you :)
Yoooooo, I'm a listener and a follower for a while and I only just realized I'm not following on twitter. 😅 Thanks for these videos, I feel excited whenever I see a new one pop up on the feed! 💯🥰
Thank you Elude! Appreciate the words ❤️
i think they hammer on prescription a little too harshly. Naval says "just figure it out" but we need a place to start and the best and most efficient way to start is to examine how someone who's already good at it does it. Once we get the basics down and we move into intermediary levels if skill we can start to abandon prescription and make it our own.
I think this is the best intermediate and practical approach that is actionable. You have to learn the rules of the game to mend them.
@@ArjunKelaiya only if you play their game
Most people are not ever going to be able to free themselves from prescriptions, Kapil Gupta is not telling anyone to not follow prescription. But to realise the true nature that they're all just falsehoods and narratives that are spun and we are conditioned to follow advice and guidance and coaches and "prescriptions" blindly
It is important for people who watch this video to understand that this kind of approach can only make sense to and for a minority of people. Only if you happen to be born this way you can and should be inspired by this approach to life. In MBTI-terms this will only relate to to the NJ-types and the NTJ-types in particular.
(Peterson and Naval are both NTJ-personality types that have introverted intuition and extraverted thinking high up in their stack of 8 cognitive functions (C. Jung))
you are just amazing!! thankyou for this video
Thank you for your kind words :)
Oustanding conversation
You have a superb channel! Keep going brother
thank you !!
Kapil and Jordan are not the same. Kapil seeks truth. Jordan seeks intellectual concepts and extrapolates lessons about morality from them. This video becomes a waste of time as soon as it cuts to Jordan
Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure!
The 4-hour Work Week is a how-to book. Does that mean it is just a prescription?
Yes, use it as a data point to inform your own path, don't take 4HWW as a copy-paste path. Your path might end up looking like 4HWW, but don't take it as a prescription, as with prescription medication - do what it says you must do, turn your brain off, stop thinking for yourself, and expect the results you started out wanting.
Most insightful channel
This is 100% true, i confirme by my self
Thank you for sharing
Great content!
Thank you:)
This is interesting and deep stuff.
This is a good comparison of views. Communicating the same principles with this much clarity. Jordan Peterson 👌👌
thank you!
best of all
perception becomes the new god but you can only find in the unknown in my opinion
Does it mean that the prescription not to follow any prescriptions is the last prescription to follow?
No, not even that. It is not a prescription - test for yourself: follow prescriptions and see where that get you, use prescriptions as data points and forge your own path then see where that get you. It's a statement of truth that prescriptions are not the way.
Thank you
Thank you for these nuggets 🙏👍

Having made a lot of money might well indicate success but it does not indicate greatness or genius.
Book recommendations are not asking how too's
Can use these words of wisdom to get great at sex. As prescriptions in pursuit of becoming a master lover is indeed an impediment. It's all about exploring and seeing what works for you.
its ironic how both of them rail prescriptions, and this video makes exactly that in the "left summary section" lol.
What is the piano song name at the end of this?
C Major prelude from Bach!
Bach's Prelude in C!
Omg
Had not seen Peterson was part of this. Stopped it when his part started.
why
@@yaboiavery5986 dishonest, dramatic, fake. Try to look into any one topic he talks about and look up what the research actually shows. You'll find that he usually takes a half truth and makes it into a range of big claims.
i love the first two guys when that kermit nasally sounding Peterson guy comes with his overly verbose sentences its like nails on chalkboard
you are rich why you put to much ads on ur videos?! that's awful please don't torture us.
Glad is being helpful !
Jordan is annoying.
The body building analogy is dumb af.
😂😂😂 he really thought he said something.
There's no life in this talk. Naval, is always full of life.
I don't want to listen. Sorry
Bravo! Great vid
Thank you :)
