Principle 2: The truth is simple

• By recognizing and avoiding complex lies, you can prevent unnecessary stress and act with confidence.

• Long and complex narratives are the opposite of the simple truth.

Reflection:

When solving a problem, simplicity is key. Too much information, complexity, and unnecessary details can cloud the issue. If you or your counterpart truly understand the problem, it can be explained in a few clear words. If not, simplifying it can bring clarity and focus, leading you closer to the truth and the right course of action.

One of the most remarkable benefits of embracing this principle is that once you've uncovered the truth, your actions will naturally align with the right path.

(This principle is part of the 50 principles that Ryan Blair shares in his Altercall course.)
