Inversion

When you're stuck on a problem or building something risky, this walks you through Carl Jacobi's mathematical principle that Charlie Munger popularized: solve problems backward by identifying what would guarantee failure, then avoid those things. You get a structured five-step process that forces you to list 10-15 ways something could fail, flip them into success principles, and create anti-goals (things you'll never do). It's especially useful for startup decisions, strategy development, and risk analysis where the path to failure is often clearer than the path to success. The framework is thorough but could feel heavy-handed if you just need a quick sanity check.
