Think Like a Genius
The Complex Process of Making Things Simple and Redefining the WorldBy Jibran Akhtar
Length3h 13m
About this audiobook
What makes someone a genius?
is it IQ? God-given talent? Luck?
It is none of these.
A genius is one who makes complex things simple.
That is it. This book shows you how.
Anyone can become a genius, including you. It is a universal process.
This book is your lab to master the process.
You will follow the same 5-stage journey taken by Euclid, Newton, Einstein,
Marie Curie, Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, and every other world-changer.
Every one of them started with a complex world around them.
They all endured the crazy process of tearing it down (they looked "crazy").
Then they found a simple truth that would redefine the world.
Lastly, they built a simpler world with obsessive attention to detail
around that truth.
This journey is hard. But the tools are universal.
This book is your workspace to master the genius process.
Every other page is blank for you to do the work.
You will mark it up, wear it down, and make it yours.
By the end, you'll not just understand genius. You will be one.
