See Through the Essence

This book is very well written. It teaches you that to do anything, you need to find out what the underlying logic is, and then reason upward from the underlying logic, so that the results obtained are correct. There is also the fact that you cannot make money beyond your own knowledge, such as the stock trading and virtual currency mentioned by the author. Watching many people become rich overnight, do you actually know that those people have been working in this industry for many years (such as value investing mentioned by Buffett). Maybe a small number of people will make money after hearing some news, but first you have to be valuable yourself, and then someone will say something valuable to you.

A very good book. It is recommended to read it. While reading, outline the structure described by the author in your mind, and then substitute the purpose of reading the book, that is, the problem to be solved. You can imagine the author's examples happening around you, so as to give full play to the essence of learning knowledge and solve problems efficiently. This is also one of Musk's learning methods. However, in addition to solving problems efficiently, the previous points are my own continuous practical experience and are for reference only [Note] [Shy]

This book tells readers how to see through the essence and how to deduce the general thinking models and methods required to deduce its operating rules, and provides readers with a good reference direction and basis. Examples in the text further illustrate the application of these ideas to real-world situations. It is an entry-level practical reference book. The author explains the theoretical knowledge in a simple and easy-to-understand way. It is very powerful and deserves careful reading.

Recommended, this book is very practical and a good life guidance book. The author makes it clear at the beginning that this book teaches readers how to grasp things, that is, they need to grasp the key points of things, find out the logic of their evolution, act on them to get results, and review and reason about the whole process to draw lessons. Based on this, the author starts to introduce to readers step by step, from the shallower to the deeper, the precautions and methods and techniques in the process of grasping the essence. The explanation is thorough and can be truly applied in actual work and study.

The writing is very good. For some people who are confused at work and study, and for people who do things blindly but do not get twice the result with half the effort, it can improve their cognition and find the essence of things. The author has found a clear path for many people!

Through this book, I learned the seven dimensions to understand things, see through the essence, and the steps to see through the essence. It should be noted that the essence mentioned by the author here is not the objective essence of things, but the fundamental connotation of things such as their fundamental nature, fundamental causes, and fundamental purposes. The logic of doing things: understand things - see through the essence - deduce the rules - guide actions - review and improve - understand things, and so on. Among them, seeing through the essence is the key. The ultimate goal of understanding the essence of things is to guide actions and achieve goals. Understand things from seven dimensions: definition, characteristics, origin and history, purpose and function, organization and relationship, causes and key driving factors, and corresponding things. Steps to see through the essence: Obtain information - Organize information - Analyze information - Refining keywords - Preliminary hypothesis - Optimize hypothesis The specific situation is analyzed in detail, not every time from seven dimensions, every time it is six steps.

I am a technical secondary school student and have no chance to go to college, but I feel very good. It has answered some questions I want to know. No one can tell what the essence is. From each angle, you may gain different understandings. The story of Amazon is very good. Thinking about the difference between 10 years ago and now is more valuable than thinking about what is eternal. Overall, great praise.

Very good. In the era of information explosion, all kinds of superficial, superficial, and emotional objects and stories are disturbing our attention. We need to develop a sharp eye, master the thinking dimensions and framework to see through things, and take correct actions instead of blindly following them.

Essentially, my understanding is to find the deepest reason for something, and see if it conforms to the laws of development of things. It can help us guide our lives and take human nature into consideration.

Very instructive, about life, society, etc...

See the essence of things from different latitudes and improve your thinking so that you can not panic when things happen. The so-called fear and worry are all about unknown things. If you can see through the essence of things, you will understand and strategize!

This book is very practical! It tells us how to see through the essence of things. Just like planning a route when delivering express delivery, we must also grasp the key points when doing things. I liked what the book said about P2P, it reminded me of Rich Dad Poor Dad, both of which talk about the nature of financial management. Moreover, the language of this book is very easy to understand, just like chatting with friends. Recommended!

Trace back to the origin and get to the essence When Elon Musk talks about "first principles", what he reveals is a way of thinking that returns to the most basic physical reality of things - dismantling the appearance, getting to the essence, and reconstructing cognition from the most basic truth. This philosophical method derived from Aristotle is not only the key to innovation, but also a profound wisdom in life. Only by starting from the essence can we clear away the fog and see the true knowledge. Returning to the essence is a sharp weapon for understanding the complex world. Faced with the eternal question of "know yourself", if you only pursue external labels and identities, it will ultimately be superficial. The ancient Greek wise man Socrates used the "spiritual midwifery technique" to constantly question people, peel off layers of appearances, and explore the truth and virtue deep in the soul. Laozi, the sage of Eastern philosophy, said: "In order to learn, we will grow day by day, but in order to follow the Tao, we will lose every day." The way to seek Tao is to reduce the complicated appearance and get a glimpse of the origin of "Tao follows nature". Physicist Feynman is also famous for his "first principles" teaching. He firmly believed that if a concept cannot be explained simply and clearly, it means that the essence has not been touched. Wise men from both East and West unanimously stated that only by dismantling the confusion can we reach the core of truth. Starting from the essence is a powerful weapon to break the shackles of thought. We are often bound by existing concepts or "conventions", just like the academic world before Copernicus, which was imprisoned by the layers of "geocentric theory". Copernicus dared to question "common sense", returned to the simplest and most harmonious geometric explanation of the movement of celestial bodies, and proposed the subversive "heliocentric theory." His greatness does not lie in the technical details, but in the innovation of his ideological path - abandoning authority and rebuilding the understanding of the universe starting from the "first principles" of the universe. This enlightens us that true innovation is often the complete disenchantment of "the way it has always been" and returning to the origin to find undiscovered possibilities. Although returning to the essence is a bright path, it is also full of challenges. Appearances are often gorgeous and alluring, while inertia and prejudice are like invisible shackles, making us content with "knowing what is happening" rather than asking for "why it is." In an era of entertainment to death, there is an explosion of information but a lack of knowledge. We need to be more careful about being swayed by superficiality and impetuousness. If you want to maintain clarity amidst the chaos, you must regain your persistence in the essence. In personal growth, ask more "why" and refuse to follow blindly; in social development, encourage original research based on fundamental principles rather than blindly follow. "First principles" are not only a weapon for innovators to rush into the future, but also the original intention that each of us should look back to when we are confused. When we dare to strip away all established "shoulds" and think from the simplest and most unshakable facts, we can truly understand the world and find our own course. In the hustle and bustle era, this kind of returning to essential thinking will lead us to deeper wisdom and more solid freedom.

When I knew that I had reached a bottleneck in this matter, I needed to change and break through, but I couldn't find a breakthrough. It turned out that I didn't see the essence of things. The book explains the steps to see through the essence and summarizes it as finding the problem behind the problem, the relationship behind the relationship, the reason behind the cause, and the purpose behind the purpose. By finding out the problem in this way, you may find many answers. Thanks to the author

There is something, but I don't think the example given is very appropriate.

Just so-so, much worse than the Cognitive Bonus

See through the essence and you will no longer be trapped by human feelings.

Understand the world from multiple angles, understand yourself, and improve yourself

There are many theories for changing cognition. To see the essence is to find the rules of doing things and then do things soberly.

Improved my further understanding of the essence. Look at the problem more clearly.

Value: It should be a (five-star) good work!

Easy to understand, logical and practical!

Look at the essence, deduce the rules, find the core and truth, discover the demand points, practice and implement, and persevere!

A very good essential analysis. There are some frameworks in it that people can use directly. Combined with personal experience, it is a good knowledge supplement.

This book teaches readers what the essence of everything is. Really worth watching. Good book

The concept of review in the second chapter of this book is very good, and what is the essence in the third chapter may be beneficial to those who need to practice. Read books well

A very good book that improves cognition, improves the ability to see the essence clearly, analyzes laws, and guides behavior.

Worth reading, great

I can only say that I gained more knowledge.

Good-looking, good-looking, good-looking
