Good advice. Looking at things from the opposite perspective helps a lot.

It’s easier to see where things go wrong than where they go right. You can just list wrong thing after wrong thing and a solution appears once you’ve scoped out the things that don’t work.

Totally agree. Charlie Munger studied the big ideas of several disciplines, and then applied it into his daily life. He applied the power of solving problems by inversion, which is an idea commonly used in mathematics, to the situations he encountered in real life. As he says "Invert, always invert".
