Description

Welcome to the Leanpub Launch video for Thirst for Reality: How to see the task, find strong solutions, and act without self-deception https://leanpub.com/thirst-for-reality by Anton Minin Baranovskii! 0:00 Anton introduces himself as a programmer and engineer with over 10 years of experience 0:46 Overview of TRIZ — the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving — and its origins with Altschuler 1:40 Anton's decision to dive deeper into TRIZ and his motivation for writing the book 2:28 The goal of making TRIZ more accessible and practical by reducing abstraction 3:18 Lessons from personal startup experience and how TRIZ knowledge could have saved time and mistakes 3:18 Integration of psychology and CBT alongside TRIZ and systems thinking 3:34 Len reflects on discovering TRIZ through the book and recommends it for problem-solving 4:04 Closing thoughts and mutual appreciation between author and host 0:46 TRIZ described as a compilation of patterns and principles for calculating optimal solutions 2:28 Book structured around examples and practice to make theory concrete and learnable About the Book We make mistakes all the time. And most often, not because we lack knowledge, but because we are solving the wrong problem. We confuse symptoms with causes, mistake interpretations for facts, and grab the first explanation that feels true. As a result, our energy goes not into solving the problem, but into fighting the fog. Thirst for Reality is a practical guide to seeing the real problem more clearly, finding workable solutions, and testing them against reality. The book is built on TRIZ — the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving — complemented by systems thinking, CBT, Jobs to Be Done, Lean Startup, and Nonviolent Communication. The book is structured as a step-by-step route: one chapter, one illusion, one tool, and one exercise for practice. The reader moves from separating facts from interpretations to working with contradictions, systems, conflicts, hypotheses, and experiments. For entrepreneurs, managers, developers, and anyone who wants to see problems more clearly, make decisions without self-deception, and test them faster in practice.
