A Father's Advice Using Investment Principles
What if the principles that guide the world’s leading investors could unlock the most invaluable investment of all—your life? Every decision you make shapes your future. Yet, life—like investing—is governed by randomness, uncertainty, and constraints beyond our control. Just as elite investors navigate volatile markets to optimise returns, we, too, must navigate life's complexities to maximise our potential.
This book introduces the Cheap Options strategy—a powerful decision-making framework, using high upside, low downside investment principles to help you manage risk, capitalise on opportunity, and make choices that lead to extraordinary outcomes. Rooted in decision theory, behavioural psychology, and a father's advice to his sons, Solving Life teaches you how to back-solve from your ultimate goals, master life's inevitable trade-offs, and optimise the only portfolio that truly matters: your own future.
