Dear

It feels strange for me to write these words, as I
many ago to never write forewords. rm makingarare in this case for three reasons.First,
a free version of this b)Ok is being to the world in a
dVital/KindIe/eBook format with no strings attached.Second,
IVe known Naval for more thana decade and have longwantai
to compile this b)0k.Third, the like-
lihocd of Child being named "Tim" (l'II settle for
"Timb),' if heprefers). Naval is one ofthe anartestpeople IVe ever met, and he's also
one ofthemost courageous.Not in the "run into the fire with-
out thinking twice' sense, but in the "think twice and then tell
everyone they're focusing on the wrong fire- sense.He israrely
part Ofany and the uniqu eness of his life, lifestyle,
family dynamics, and startup is areflection of con-
scious choices he's made to do things differently.
