Listen to the last episode:
It in the nature of things, Charlie Munger once said, that life's many hard problems are best solved when they are addressed backward. And so, a wise solution would be to Invert, always invert.
In this episode we break this key lesson down, and understand how to apply it in our life. Because, inversion helps us to improve our understanding of a problem. By forcing us to do the work necessary, we are forced to consider different perspectives.
To do that, we need to listen to Ray Dalio’s advice who told us - Smart people are the ones who ask the most thoughtful questions, as opposed to thinking they have all the answers. Great questions are a much better indicator of future success than great answers. Inversion is all about asking the right, yet non-obvious questions.
