The 6 Principles of Finance (And Why Your Brain Fights Them)

Why do smart people struggle to learn finance? Because your brain isn't wired for it. In this video, we break down the three foundational principles you need to master—no free lunch, universal preferences, and self-interest—plus the science-backed study methods that actually work for financial thinking.

Key concepts covered:
• No Free Lunch: Why arbitrage opportunities vanish quickly and "free lunch programs" don't exist
• Universal Preferences: The three things everyone wants (more money, sooner, with less risk)
• Self-Interest: How even altruism fits into utility maximization
• Why financial thinking takes 8-13 weeks to "click"
• The 5-step study method for actually learning finance (not just watching it)
