Inversion: a mental model
Is a thinking model to get insight by turning a question backward, that is, by studying how to create non-X.
”It is in the nature of things that many hard problems are best solved only when they are addressed backward", the great mathematician Jacobi noted. Instead of thinking how can you be happy, ask how you can be miserable and avoid that.

- Be unreliable. Do not faithfully do what you have engaged to do.
- Learn everything you possibly can from your own personal experience, minimizing what you learn vicariously from the good and bad experience of others. Never learn.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
