What’s new in this version?

A more guided walkthrough of the Guide divided between a Beginners and an Advanced section.
Major improvements in the structure and aesthetics of the Guide such as adding beautiful illustrations.
Join the First-Principles community on Slack
We have been overwhelmed at all the positive responses to v1. Many of you have been reaching out to us to ask questions, clarify doubts, and have discussions.
With that, we have decided to pilot an invite-only community on Slack dedicated to the First-Principles Guide. We will lead weekly sprints to go through chosen readings from the Guide together. To join, please fill out this form and we’ll get back to you.
Spread the word
We are on a mission. We believe that smart young folks deserve a better education that teaches them how to think, as opposed to what to think. Without rigorous training in first-principles thinking, students remain ill-equipped to deal with the ongoing barrage of information through the digital medium.
