About First Principles Thinking
Have you wondered how Elon Musk has been super successful time and again to create game-changing innovative products that created tremendous value for society at large? Are you an entrepreneur or a product manager aspiring to apply a similar “creator” and “innovator” mindset to build winning products, the products which are loved by the end-users? Do you want to learn about what it takes to innovate and create great solutions for complex problems?
If the above sounds like you, one of the techniques you need to learn is first principles thinking.
First principles thinking is defined as a method of reasoning or a thought process in which you try and understand a problem or a thing by breaking it down into its most basic elements and building your argument up from there. These basic elements represent the most fundamental truths and are referred to as the first principles.
The book is a sincere attempt to help you learn basic concepts and reasoning techniques about how to approach problems based on first principles thinking. The book represents related concepts from Aristotle’s Metaphysics and Nyaya/Vaisheshika philosophy (Indian Philosophy). It will help you understand the basics of first principles thinking and provide you with a step-by-step method for adopting this technique in your own work. You can start using this approach in any area of your life including solving real-life problems, building innovative products and solutions. With first principles thinking, you can identify what you think is true (subjective reality) and then work to understand what is actually true by the nature of things (objective reality). With this foundation, you’ll be able to understand problems in a holistic manner and find creative solutions.
