"This book started with a question I've asked myself for years: Why do some people see opportunities everywhere, while others see only obstacles? Why do some teenagers build real ventures before they graduate, while others wait for permission?"
"The answer, I've come to believe, isn't about talent or resources. It's about how you see. It's about the mental models you use to make sense of the world."
"Physics provides those models. Not because physics is hard, but because physics is true. The same laws that govern atoms govern markets. The same principles that explain rockets explain revolutions."
