On this episode, we explore Arthur Brooks’ fantastic book ‘From Strength to Strength’ (which was J.R.’s book of the year in 2022). In it, Brooks talks about two kinds of intelligence, fluid intelligence and crystalized intelligence. Brook argues that if we don’t jump from the fluid intelligence curve to the crystalized intelligence curve, we run the risk of living the second half of life without purpose or meaning. But, if we can be resilient and make the jump, we – and the world – will be better off for it. We can, as Brook writes, move from strength to strength.***If you haven’t signed up for my every other week FREE newsletter 5 Things in 5 Minutes (5 valuable nuggets that can be read in 5 minutes or less), check outwww.kairospartnerships.org/5t5m. . .I’d love to hear from you.

In this episode J.R. explores inversion thinking, developed by Carl Jacobi and made famous by Charlie Munger. Inversion thinking (also known as backward thinking) takes us through the backdoor of our thinking to help us arrive at a better, more robust understanding. It also helps us when we disagree with others in conversation.Utilizing inverse thinking can help lead us to be more resilient thinkers and thus, more resilient leaders – and human beings.Link to read more about Charlie Munger’s approach to inversion thinking: https://www.mayooshin.com/inversion-charlie-munger-billionaire-thinking/James Clear on inversion thinking: https://jamesclear.com/inversion***If you enjoy this podcast, can we ask a 45 second favor of you?
