Second-Order Thinking: The Competitive Advantage in Health, Wealth, and Longevity
Most people think in straight lines. Do this, get that result. Action → reaction. Cause → effect. It’s simple, but often wrong. Charlie Munger—legendary investor and master thinker-– took a different approach. He looked beyond the first outcome to see the ripple effects of every decision (see my previous post for more on his mental models). This is called second-order thinking—and it’s not just for investing. It’s key to living longer, staying sharp, and making choices that benefit you years from now. It’s also the foundation of Longevity Intelligence™.
