Rebuild knowledge from the ground up. This is first principles thinking—the ability to reduce everything to fundamental truths and reconstruct from there. Elon Musk uses it. Philosophers use it. You should too. Most people reason by analogy. "It has always been done this way." "Everyone else does it this way." That is lazy thinking. First principles thinking asks: What is actually true? What are the immutable laws? Everything else is negotiable. We analyze how to deconstruct assumed truths. Batteries are expensive because they are expensive? No. The raw materials cost almost nothing. The assumption was wrong. This book teaches you to question conventions and build solutions from scratch. Think like a scientist, not a sheep. bisac: SELF-HELP / Personal Growth / Success, BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Decision-Making & Problem Solving amazon keywords: mental models, strategic thinking, decision making short excerpt: Question everything.
