The Sketchbook of Wisdom: A Hand-Written Manual on the Pursuit of Wealth and Good Life

The Sketchbook of Wisdom: A Hand-Written Manual on the Pursuit of Wealth and Good LifeI am writing, actually handwriting, a new book.

It is titled – The Sketchbook of Wisdom: A Hand-Written Manual on the Pursuit of Wealth and Good Life. I aim to release it in December 2020.

My idea through this book is to bring to you wisdom from Krishna to Taleb, Socrates to Munger, Vivekanand to Steve Jobs, and Kabir to Naval Ravikant, as it applies to our lives today. The ideas in this book will cover a range of topics like investing, personal finance, behaviour, decision making, learning, and life.

Peter Bevelin wrote in his book Seeking Wisdom –

Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you’ll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others.

I have no intention to change you or your thinking through my book. What you will read in these pages are the notes that I have written to myself and the lessons I have offered myself over the years, through my own experience and that of others. And in that very spirit, like my notes, this book will be entirely hand-written.

Download 10 ideas from the book by signing up for my free newsletter – The Safal Niveshak Post – that offers time-tested ideas to help you handle your money in the most intelligent way.

* No charge. No spam. Only wisdom.

I welcome you to join me in this pursuit of timeless wisdom.

Please help me share the word about the book on WhatsApp, Twitter, LinkedIn.

I also welcome your suggestion(s) on the book, and your feedback after reading the ten free ideas. Please share the same in the Comments section of this post.

Thank you in anticipation.

With respect,
– Vishal

    Hi Vishal,

    Seems to be an interesting book. This is like a dictionary of wisdom from the point of view of life, investing & finance. Look forward to the launch and can’t wait to get my hands on this. Wish you all the very best 🙂

    Interesting concept..look forward to the book….a little more line / word spacing may enhance reading comfort

    Hi Vishal,

    I am looking forward to this book. Wish you all the best.

    How do you make handwritten notes look so good? Is this on paper or do you use some software?

    Thanks,
    Surendran

    Hi Vishal,

    Thanks for sharing a glimpse of the book, it looks really interesting! eagerly waiting for it….

    Just needed one clarification, under the point ‘Dont Quantify everything’, in the 2nd paragraph, isnt it “the less mathematical you are” rather than “the less non-mathematical you are”? Correct me if I got it wrong.

    Hi Vishal, i already read most of pages in this issue, and they are beautifully written as usual. One suggestion is regarding the font darkness and width. When we look at a whole page at once, it looks darkness little bit on the higher side.
    Just that.

    Hi Vishal,

    In order to gain financial acumen , i came across to your blog post and reading it from few months.

    I found your knowledge and communication is nonparallel to other financial advice and available at internet.

    Your recent post clearly connects dots from financial world to spirituality and much beyond that.

    Thank you so much, awaiting for your book.

    Congratulations in advance !! Best wishes. Thanks.

    Been sharing the zines you made. It’s a really interactive way of sharing personal finance insights through sketches.

    You should consider putting up a pre-order, might help in supply planning as well. I will be amongst the first ones to pre-order. All the best!

    Hey, Vishal.

    Love your wisdom on investment and life in general, especially the way you convey them. I will get your back as soon it comes to shelves.

    Thanks!

    Hi Vishal,

    Thank you for sharing your wisdom and your book will be a great addition for anyone’s library !! I believe font darkness can be improved and size should be reduced to alleviate stress on eyes

    Hi Vishal,
    on Page 9 “In investing and business analysis the less non-mathematical you are…”.
    I think what you mean here is “less mathematical you are..”

    • Vishal Khandelwal says

      August 20, 2020 at 10:59 am

      You are right, Arpit. Have corrected. Thanks!

    Great Book, Vishal. Thank you for sharing 🙏!!

    On page 8, under Equanimity graph I think you want to modify second line “about” replaced by “around”.

    Great Vishal Sir,

    Your book name and content seems unique and will serve the purpose that’s what I believe.

    Looking forward to it.
