Writing to Learn and Solve Problems

The podcast discusses how writing serves as a tool for learning and solving problems. Rather than writing about what is already known, the speaker writes to explore what is not understood. By taking time for introspection and jotting down thoughts, they break down challenges effectively. When faced with complex problems, the speaker delves into research, reading extensively on the topic to gain deeper insights, which sometimes leads to writing a book to fill gaps in knowledge.
