    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

    #1 Inverse thinking is the process of thinking about a problem from an opposite perspective to discover new solutions and approaches. It can help you be wrong less often, which in turn will help you make better decisions.

    #2 The concept of antifragile was introduced by financial analyst Nassim Nicholas Taleb. It refers to things that benefit from volatility, randomness, disorder, and stressors. They thrive and grow when exposed to these things.

    #3 The central mental model to help you become a chef with your thinking is arguing from first principles. It’s the practical starting point to being wrong less, and it means thinking from the bottom up, using basic building blocks of what you think is true to build sound conclusions.

    #4 Any problem can be approached from first principles. When looking for a career move, you should start by thinking about what you truly value in a career, your required job parameters, and your previous experience.

      #1

      Inverse thinking is the process of thinking about a problem from an opposite perspective to discover new solutions and approaches. It can help you be wrong less often, which in turn will help you make better decisions.

      #2

      The concept of antifragile was introduced by financial analyst Nassim Nicholas Taleb. It refers to things that benefit from volatility, randomness, disorder, and stressors. They thrive and grow when exposed to these things.

      #3

      The central mental model to help you become a chef with your thinking is arguing from first principles. It’s the practical starting point to being wrong less, and it means thinking from the bottom up, using basic building blocks of what you think is true to build sound conclusions.

      #4

      Any problem can be approached from first principles. When looking for a career move, you should start by thinking about what you truly value in a career, your required job parameters, and your previous experience.

      #5

      Once you get specific enough with your assumptions, you can test them. The most important assumptions to test first are those that are necessary conditions for success and that you are most uncertain about.

      #6

      Ockham’s razor helps you evaluate your assumptions quickly. It advises that the simplest explanation is most likely to be true. When you encounter competing explanations that plausibly explain a set of data equally well, you should choose the simplest one to investigate first.

      #7

      The probability of two events happening together is less than or equal to the probability of either one of the events happening alone. The second fallacy is overfitting, which is when you add too many specific requirements to a dating profile.

      #8

      Overfitting occurs when you use an overly complicated explanation when a simpler one will do. It’s what happens when you don’t heed Ockham’s razor, when you get sucked into the conjunction fallacy, or make a similar unforced error.

      #9

      When you are trying to be objective, you should consider your frame of reference. Your frame of reference is the way you present a situation or explanation. When you present an important issue to your coworker or family member, you try to frame it in a way that might help them best understand your perspective.

      #10

      The media can be tricking you into thinking something is true when it isn’t, and you can be nudged in a certain direction by a subtle word choice or other environmental cues.

      #11

      Anchoring is when you rely too heavily on your first impressions when making decisions. This tendency is commonly exploited by businesses when making offers.

      #12

      availability bias stems from overreliance on your recent experiences, at the expense of the big picture. It is easy to be swayed by your bad or good contributions, and you may not consider the interactions you have had with others objectively.

      #13

      When you put many similar filter bubbles together, you get echo chambers, where the same ideas seem to bounce
