Getting Started with Framework Thinking - Frameworks in Books 📚

Which books to read for framework thinking? I get this a lot - and it's not about what to read, but HOW to read a book to identify and extract frameworks. If you're getting started with framework thinking, here are a few tips to leverage books.

It was a really helpful video.Forming simplified frameworks is indeed seemingly an excellent method to understand and solve complex problems in our personal and professional lives.I can find parallels between what you said in the video to the Feynman technique as well.This is because even the Feynman technique highlights the need to develop the ability to explain complicated subjects to others in the simplest of terms.Even Elon Musk's method of thinking in first principles can be boiled down to the formation of simplified skeletal frameworks to understand the world.
I really think that your channel is quite underrated.Do keep up the good work and more videos on framework thinking would be quite appreciated.🙂

1. What is framework thinking?

- Framework thinking is a problem-solving approach that simplifies complex information into key levers or categories to improve clarity and speed of decision-making.

2. Why are frameworks important in consulting and tech industries?

- Consulting firms and tech companies use frameworks to teach employees how to think and problem-solve more effectively. Frameworks help to categorize and simplify information for more efficient decision-making.

3. How can books help people learn about frameworks?

- Books can be a helpful resource for learning about frameworks, but simply reading about them may not lead to practical application. To effectively apply frameworks, it is important to learn how our brain naturally organizes information and to use relational memory to connect ideas together.

4. What are the two ways our brain organizes information?

- Our brain organizes information through sequential memory and relational memory. Sequential memory is like a recipe, where information is stored and retrieved in a specific order. Relational memory is when information is retrieved based on multiple cues and connections.

5. How many types of mental categories are there?

- There are three main types of mental categories: visual, functional, and thematic. Visual categories are based on appearance or sensory attributes, functional categories are based on how something works or its purpose, and thematic categories are based on concepts or ideas.

1. What are the three types of categories discussed in the video?

- Visual, functional, and conceptual categories.

2. Why is it important to be aware of existing frameworks?

- We are hardwired to think in frameworks, but most of us are not conscious of it. Actively identifying frameworks can help us understand how the world works and think more clearly.

3. What are the two steps recommended for learning frameworks?

- Actively identify existing frameworks and collect frameworks that work for yourself.

4. Can frameworks be organized by subject matter?

- Yes, frameworks can be organized by subject matter, but this is not how our brain naturally organizes information.

5. What is the difference between someone who thinks clearly and someone with a high IQ?

- The difference is how they actively notice and structure information in order to understand how the world works, rather than their IQ.

1. What is the importance of conceptual categories in understanding specific situations?
- Conceptual categories help us organize and make sense of information in specific situations.
- It's like tagging different information with where you might use them.

2. How can frameworks be helpful in answering complex questions?
- Frameworks provide a structured approach to answering complex questions.
- By using frameworks, we can break down a big question into smaller, more manageable parts.

3. What is Aristotle's framework for leading a good life?
- Aristotle's framework for leading a good life is based on the idea of virtue.
- People who lead a good and successful life possess distinct virtues.
- Virtue can be found between two extremes, and it's balanced in the middle.

4. Why is it important to put frameworks into context?
- Putting frameworks into context helps us understand when and where to use them.
- We can tag ideas and frameworks to situations where we might use them, which makes it easier to apply them in the future.

5. How can writing tools help us free up mental resources?
- Writing tools, such as pen and paper or note-taking software, help us externalize our thoughts.
- By writing down our ideas and frameworks, we don't have to remember them in our brain all the time, which frees up mental space for new ideas and insights.

I'm sorry to write for this but I noticed in a few videos that the sound seem processed maybe for enhancing it for studio sound, but it creates some kind of panning distracting me from the quality of what you are saying. Maybe if you just exported the video in 2x mono it'd fix the issue?

[dustinbrown]

Solid content. But am I the only one hearing spatial output from her audio?

[gigifox]

Don’t even have the words for what a game-changer your channel/videos are — you know that ineffable feeling when you discover something or read an amazing book? Like that, multiplied. I have ADHD and a learning disorder and no one teaches us *how* other people think. It’s so frustrating to feel you have potential but aren’t capable of accessing it. This is so huge, thank you 💕

[christopherward]

I would love to understand what you are saying but the frenetic speech pattern and wild waving of your hands is just too distracting. I’m sorry.

[dayana]

You are one of the best channels out there, I hope more people get t know you! These last videos have been essential for changing the way I understand the world. Thank you!

[Ryan-ikmk]

Please… fix your microphone…. Your videos are awesome! Your audio is not 😢

[artofdao]

There is something wrong wired with the sound jumping left right.
Like the video but can’t listen audio

[BenjaminKramer]

I don't know what is going on with your voice recording, but it's really distracting and I couldn't keep watching.

[PantingCat]

Every time I watch your videos I get inspired to sit and work on my note-taking and framework-building. I have been doing it in my head for so long that I forget that there are ways to do it that don't make me use every ounce of my mental energy and I can easily search through. I think the thing I'd like to work on is tagging things already in my head. When I learn a new thing, I sometimes forget that this new thing actually affects a previous belief and I find myself 'duh'ing myself a while later for not picking up on it sooner.

New viewer here. Vicky, I love you ❤. Growing up with a learning disability, I understood very early in my life that I would need a different strategy for learning than what I was being offered at school. Many of the things that you discuss, I have had to discover on my own; and it took a long time along with too much frustration. What I learned to do was to visualize, prioritize, organize and compartmentalize my mind. In short, I focus a lot of time on mind mapping, while trying to prioritize my time with my values. In our current world of massive information and stimulation overload, I find it absolutely necessary to prioritize and discipline my learning. So much of what you seem to be saying is what I have also been learning. That's very exciting to me because I often feel that I am very alone in my way of thinking. Is it possible that I am not actually alone? Thanks for all you are doing and sharing!!!

Hello Vicky. I really enjoy your tutorials, but there is an issue with the microphone in which the sounds jumps between the speakers and has a warble. I would record on one microphone only and ensure that is recording in mono.

[ziahseom]

who else checked your playback speed?😀

[Diego-cmmz]

Vicky, i listened your voice panning from right to left side, i dont know if its a mistake or not but its distracting.

I've watched all your videos on frameworks and none of them make sense. YOu start with a question and then never explain how framework thinking let you arrive at the answer to that question. From all you've said I only understand that frameworks is a way to organize information but there are no real examples of what this looks like to solve problems.

[shraddhamishra]

love your videos just wish that I could hear you clearly. It seems like a lot of effort to hear and the audio quality doesn't seem ok

[kfeng]

Such a great video!!

My understanding is that framework thinking essentially help us see the world or consume information through the lens of creation - create relations to solve problems that are meaningful to us. Once developed, we are no longer blindly consume information but rather selectively choosing which bits can be used to help us solve a problem.

Most problems, not matter hard or easy, are solved through finding the right information and organizing them in the right way. Good frameworks are embed with distilled structures of information that sustained the test of time. They save us time by allowing us to skip or organize the organizaiton process.

While IQ helps with local thinking, problem-solving and all that, framework thinking helps you do that more efficiently because it speed up the thinking process without losing accuracy if chosen carefully.

I find it particularly useful in language learning. Since language is so vast that you simply can't organize it according to subjects. It only makes sense to organize or learn it in relation to what you've already known and what you predict to be useful in the future. And how language content is delivered doesn't necessarily have to be the way you learn it.

What is the name of your he book on top of the stack she pulled from?

[evinoshima]

A framework I use allt the time: START AT THE END AND WORK BACK TO THE BEGINNING. Start at the result you need, and work back to where you are at, then work back the other way. Works for projects, driving, work.
