Think 3 is all about understanding complex phenomena using a simple formula.It is a unique book that analyses and presents the best of thoughts, quotes & works of legends across business, history and mythology.It is often said that there is no universal truth and there is no point in trying to search for the ultimate wisdom. Steve Hawking, one of the greatest humans and the most intelligent ever born was perpetually in search of 'Theory of everything' finally gave up one day. Most of us believe that there are no 'Universal Truths' and hence there is no such person who knows everything and all the angles possible but need to have the tolerance to ambiguity in everything.
