Amazing book must-read for anyone who has to make decisions in life — that means everyone — but I think the more impact your decisions have the more useful his frameworks are.

This book is about living a good life. About wrestling with objective reality from a ‘business’ perspective.

I don’t know what I can add to persuade you to read it, but it’s a book that feels like “source” material. Like Sun Tzu or Ayn Rand. It’s an organized system of thinking, and it was a delightfully well-written book.

This is one of the more interesting ways the author approaches life — he is trying to turn all his life into algorithms:

“The key to doing this well is to: 1. Slow down your thinking so you can note the criteria you are using to make your decision. 2. Write the criteria down as a principle. 3. Think about those criteria when you have an outcome to assess, and refine them before the next “one of those” comes along.”

And:

Whenever I make an investment decision, I observe myself making it and think about the criteria I used. I ask myself how I would handle another one of those situations and write down my principles for doing so. Then I turn them into algorithms. I am now doing the same for management and I have gotten in the habit of doing it for all my decisions.”

I’ll be revisiting this book regularly to be inspired, get answers / thoughts and ideas when I’m dealing with some issues.
