What does it mean to think like a freak?
“Think differently about problems (large or small)”
Recently, I read a book — Think Like a Freak by Steven D Levitt and Stephen J Dubner. The book made me think about certain choices that I make in my life (knowingly or unknowingly), and how the consequences of those choices could have been different if I had made different choices or implemented them differently.
Here are my few takeaways from the book:
Do not follow the herd, use your own thinking in solving problems
Know when the time is right to walk away
Identify and attack root cause of problems; make problems as simple as possible, but not too simpler
