What's up everyone, this is Alex Lieberman,

co-founder and executive chairman of Morning Brew.

Welcome back to Founders Journal,

my personal audio diary where I give you the business builder,

the tools you need to think better in order to build better,

whether that's building a business,

a team, or a new product.

Today, I am talking about the importance of

learning how to think versus learning what to think.

Let's hop into it.

So I recently saw this tweet from Justin Khan,

who is the co-founder of Twitch,

and it got me thinking.

His tweet was, quote,

if you can, read books that teach you how to think,

not what to think.

And then he had a follow-up on that tweet saying,

quote, this is why philosophy is so important.

And I think this is such a valuable idea,

not just in the context of reading books,

but in the context of just thinking in general,

in life, in your career, etc.
