“We don’t need more information, we need less”

Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Simplified Meaning:

In our daily lives, we are constantly bombarded with tons of information. This can be overwhelming and make it hard to focus on what’s really important. Imagine trying to study for a test, but your desk is covered with papers, books, and notes. You would be much more productive with just the essential materials in front of you rather than wading through a mess. In the same way, having less, but more useful, information can help us make better decisions and reduce stress. It’s like choosing to read one good book deeply instead of skimming through five books without really understanding them. By focusing on fewer, more relevant pieces of information, we can think more clearly and act more effectively in our lives.
