First Principles Thinking in Innovation and Investment
This chapter explores first principles thinking as a key tool for problem-solving and innovation, exemplified by Elon Musk's approach with SpaceX. It also highlights the importance of independent thinking in investing, drawing on Warren Buffett's insights to challenge traditional beliefs about value and financial assets.
