🚀Think Like Elon 🧠 | First Principles, Physics & the Power of Original Thinking

About this episode

What if your greatest ideas are being blocked by assumptions you didn’t even know you had? 🤯In this thought-provoking episode of Open My Mind, we explore first principles thinking — a problem-solving method championed by Elon Musk that challenges conventional wisdom by breaking ideas down to their fundamental building blocks. 🧱🧪

đź’ˇ What you'll discover:
  • Why most of us default to reasoning by analogy — and how it limits us
  • How to use physics-style thinking to spark true innovation
  • Real-world examples: Cheaper batteries, reusable rockets, & unexpected breakthroughs
  • Why critical thinking means testing your assumptions (aka your axioms)
  • How understanding probabilities instead of certainties puts you in control 🎲
Whether you're building the next big thing, tackling a personal challenge, or just trying to think clearer, this episode gives you the tools to reframe, rethink, and reason from the ground up. 🔍
