Clear Thinking

Shane Parrish

Collected in 2024 Reading List

“When you are well positioned, there are many paths to victory. When you are poorly positioned, there may be only one. You can think of this a bit like playing tetris: when you play well, you have many options for where to put the next piece. When you play poorly, you need just the right piece. Ordinary moment determine your position, and your position determines your option. Clear thinking is the key to proper positioning, which is what allows you to master your circumstances, rather than be mastered by them.”
