I suspect a strong background in Physics leads to systems thinking.
Especially since a couple of my favourite system thinkers are Jacob Lund Fisker and Elon Musk. They both have degrees in physics.
- selimthegrim 9y agoSince when did Musk get a PhD in anything? He has a BS in physics
- n4r9 9y agoI looked up Fisker and it appears he is someone who combined personal austerity with a decent income in order to retire early. A couple of books, a blog, and several interviews, but that's literally all they're about. How are you interpreting "systems thinking"? What's the difference between "systems thinking" and "analysing and making informed decisions according to one's goals"?
- fouc 9y agoHonestly you'd have to read his book or some of his posts on the forum or blog to get a sense of his system thinking. I can't immediately point out any good links though, the book is a good start. It's not so much a personal finance book but about systems and models, I highly recommend it. At least you'd get the sense of what it looks like when a physicist writes a "personal finance book"
