"Solve the right problem before solving any problem Drawing on their design background, the speakers make the case that most people stuck on questions of meaning are working hard on the wrong problem: 'Problem finding precedes problem solving — if you're working on the wrong version of the problem really really well, you're still going to get nowhere.' Their process is to first reframe the problem — moving closer to radical acceptance of reality — and only then generate tools and actions. The practical habit: before brainstorming solutions to a life challenge, spend time asking whether you have correctly identified what the actual problem is.
