How To Get Rich

In this monologue, Ali Abdaal reflects on how to get rich, suggesting that an unhealthy obsession with wealth creation is often necessary. He recounts how a professor and online commenters have perceived him as obsessed with money, which he admits was true during his business's growth phase. Ali contrasts his current, more balanced life with his past, intensely focused period, noting that many wealthy individuals prioritize work-life balance only after achieving financial success. He advises listeners to either fully commit to the pursuit of wealth or adjust their goals to avoid the misery caused by misalignment between desires and actions, using personal anecdotes and observations to illustrate his points.
