    The word is physicist. Physicians are medical.

    Any chance you could explain more clearly how this book relates to first principles thinking? I'm just curious!

      Hey, I have a whole video on first principles thinking which draws heavily on this book!

      I think the point is to actually read it so you’re not trusting the creator of this post

    Over complication.
    Here what's the general challenge and problem your dealing with?
    What are you trying to accomplish.
    Do you think anyone or anything related to what your doing that can help. Hint it's yeah there is
    Example
    So if my bike breaks down do I need a new bike.
    Hell no. I need the bike to run right. Let's say I don't know much about bikes. I could figure out a bit in my own. I look. I gain info. But now let's say I still don't know
    How would I know. I'd go to a place with more info right. Like a bike shop or institute.
    It's boiling down the problem. Identifying your goal. Looking at other information sources that relate. Come on guys it's not difficult

      I'm not sure I agree, sure when you are used to thinking from first principles its easy to give a simplistic example like this and say 'look this is how you do it, it's simple'
      But this is akin to a competent swimmer saying 'look how easy it is to swim just move your arms and legs like this'
      In my eyes, if you haven't been bought up thinking from first principles a great way to get ahead is to study physics and other first principles topics.
      It's a lense to view the world

      Hey Ken, I guess everyone's definiton is different, as a layman I'd classify these as physics from my point of view. Curious what your recommendations are though!
