WOW This is the book on first principles and logic that I’ve always always always been fucking searching for. Amongst the ever changing landscape and the increasing complexity of everything, there are few things that stay forever constant. Ignore the noise and see the essence of things. Everything can be stripped to its core. Always trace things back to first principles. Establish the connections between things. Theres nothing that can’t be explained with an analogy. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ !!!
I’m truly grateful for having found this author and his book, and later noticed his online courses which I’ve also bought and started learning. Every line, page, every chapter is filled with thought-provoking ideas and strategists. The author is a business consultant, explaining economics, maths and logical thinking using many simply analogies, making these apparently difficult areas easier to understand (for layman like me!) His wisdom has inspired me to teach his teachings to others too, starting with my YouTube channel (Morning Reading Notes), aiming to inspire more to read books and to practice logical thinking.
Waste of time. Worst book ever. I expected some deep thinking or at least a fresh perspective - but nope. It just feels like a bunch of recycled ideas, quotes from successful people, and generic life advice mashed together. The writing’s not great either, and the logic? Pretty shaky for a book that’s supposed to be about logic.
I don’t usually bother writing reviews, but this one annoyed me so much I had to say something.
This is an excellent and comprehensive business book. It is absolutely eye opening. The only nitpick is that some of the topics are not discussed thoroughly, which I understand, because the book is more like an overview of everything. I really enjoy reading it, and look forward to reading more on the related topics.
This book brings together many well-worn concepts. While it didn’t feel deeply inspiring to me, I can imagine some readers might find a few takeaways that resonate, depending on their personal experience or current mindset.
