Review
Oh, deep to my core I love this book. Now, as the authors mention, not all things can be handled by simple rules, but I think that practicing simple rules across a lot of applications of daily and work life is key to finding the balance between making good decisions, and not making them at all.
Some of the things that stuck with me from this book:
- A simple rule for investment that beats almost anything else is the diversity of types of investments rule (put your eggs in a lot of different baskets).
- Simple rules can be used as constraints to provide guide-rails for your projects
