Bestseller of The Wall Street Journal!
"With great power comes great responsibility," said Stan Lee in the Spider-Man comics and he was absolutely right. Mental models are the most powerful "tool" of thinking that is always at our disposal. Depending on how we use different models, they can be both constructive and destructive.
How can mental models help you? Here are just a few examples...
• Before concluding that your colleague who is ruining your projects wants to harm you, consider "Hanlon's Razor" as an alternative explanation.
• Have you ever sat through a bad movie just because you paid a lot for the ticket? You may fall victim to the fallacy of sunk costs.
• If you have ever been overwhelmed by a long to-do list, you may need Eisenhower's Decision Matrix to help prioritize.
This book will teach you:
- how to navigate mental traps,
- see multiple problem-solving options and choose the best one,
- distinguish good ideas from bad ones,
- as well as look at the world more broadly and find answers in unexpected places.
"You don't know anything if you just remember individual facts. If facts are not strung on a theory, you won't be able to use them. You need models in your head." - Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett's right-hand man
