However, he admits that First Principle Thinking is the source of his immense creativity. It is a physics way of thinking, that involves breaking down complex problems into their fundamental components and constructing solutions from there. In First Principle thinking, one analyzes a problem by asking key questions: What is stuff made of, how does it function at its core? Can improvements be made? Usually, there are two ways of thinking about things. Either by analogy or by first principle. Thinking by analogy is the easier way because all you to do is compare with the past.
