About
This first book in the series is your guide to learning the crucial thinking tools nobody ever taught you.
Time and time again, great thinkers such as Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett have credited their success to mental models–representations of how something works that can scale onto other fields.
Mastering a small number of mental models enables you to rapidly grasp new information, identify patterns others miss, and avoid the common mistakes that hold people back.
The Great Mental Models: Volume 1, General Thinking Concepts shows you how making a few tiny changes in the way you think can deliver big results.
Drawing on examples from history, business, art, and science, this book details nine of the most versatile, all-purpose mental models you can use right away to improve your decision making and productivity.
This book will teach you how to:
- Avoid blind spots when looking at problems.
- Find non-obvious solutions.
- Anticipate and achieve desired outcomes.
- Play to your strengths, avoid your weaknesses,
