An update on The Ultimate Guide to First-Principles Thinking
Hey there,
This is Ayush. I hope you’re enjoying the v1 of our Beginner’s Guide to First-Principles Thinking. The Guide has now reached well over 100K+ people, and the response we’ve gotten so far has been overwhelmingly positive.
A few fun milestones we have hit so far –
David Perell gave me and the Guide a shoutout on his Monday Musings Newsletter to his 35K+ loyal readers.
Blake Robbins (from Ludlow Ventures) organically shared our Guide on Twitter.
Finally, the most surprising, @pmarca followed me on Twitter.
While the v1 has been received well, the v2 is going to get much better. And that is why we are renaming it to The Ultimate Guide to First-Principles Thinking. Here’s a sneak-peek of what’s coming –
The Ultimate Guide to First-Principles Thinking has an upcoming page on Product Hunt. With over 2K+ readers already, I believe it is time we take this Guide to the next level. Launch coming soon 👀
“What is one book/essay/blog that is in your First-Principles Thinking stack?” This is the question I asked some of our best public thinkers today. Their replies will be featured in v2. Don’t want to give away too much, but I can tell you that the list includes some famous entrepreneurs, investors, professors, and a Pulitzer finalist.
A more guided walkthrough of the Guide. We have made structural improvements to the document that will allow you to make the most of it at your own pace.
Many more exciting upgrades are coming to the v2. The Ultimate Guide to First-Principles Thinking is launching early next week. See you there!
Finally, yes. I have a Substack now. As promised – only signal and no noise. I write occasionally and only when I have something original to add.
Cheers,
Ayush
