Mental Models In A Nutshell: Practical Thinking Frameworks To Amplify Your Decision Making And Simplify Your Life

What would you do if there was a tool to help you make better decisions in less time? You'd jump at the chance, wouldn't you?

Mental models help you filter information, which allows you to see things more clearly and make better decisions.

Mental models are also a shortcut to finding the quickest and the best route to solve your problems, whether work-related or personal.

The beauty of mental models is that their variety is virtually infinite, and they help you come up with solutions for just about any issue.

"Developing the habit of mastering the multiple models that underlie reality is the best thing you could do," according to Charlie Munger, who credits his success to the lifetime cultivation of a "latticework" of mental models on which to frame his decisions.

And while the conscious use of mental models is possible, they require higher-order thinking skills that few people engage in for various reasons. But that doesn't have to be you!
