| 29 | +The book was really easy to read, I will continue to read the next volumes in the near future. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +I will start applying the `Second-Order Thinking` model to my daily life. In combination with the `Inversion` model, I think it will be a great way to get more serious in terms of my diet, exercise, and overall fitness. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +Another thing that I will keep in mind is the `Causation vs Correlation` relation. I will try to avoid making assumptions based on correlation, and instead try to understand the real causation behind it. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +Finally, `Hanlon's Razor` is something that from time to time I forget, in particular, when driving, I tend to always be frustrated about other people's behavior, but probably 99% of the time it's not their fault, as they are just doing what they think is best. |
