1% Smarter #17 – The Inversion Principle

August 4, 2020 By theavidbookreader Leave a Comment

1% Smarter #17 โ€“ The Inversion Principle

Invert, always invert: Turn a situation or problem upside down. Look at it backward. What happens if all our plans go wrong? Where don’t we want to go, and how do you get there? Instead of looking for success, make a list of how to fail instead – through sloth, envy, resentment, self-pity, entitlement, all the mental habits of self-defeat. Avoid these qualities and you will succeed. – Charlie Munger
