The old saying goes, ''To the man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail.'' But anyone who has done any kind of project knows a hammer often isn't enough. The more tools you have at your disposal, the more likely you'll use the right tool for the job — and get it done right. The same is true when it comes to your thinking. The quality of your outcomes depends on the mental models in your head. And most people are going through life with little more than a hammer. Until now. The Great Mental Models: General Thinking Concepts is the first book in The Great Mental Models series designed to upgrade your thinking with the best, most useful and powerful tools so you always have the right one on hand. This volume details nine of the most versatile, all-purpose mental models you can use right away to improve your decision making, productivity, and how clearly you see the world. You will discover what forces govern the universe and how to focus your efforts so you can harness them to your advantage, rather than fight with them or worse yet-— ignore them. Upgrade your mental toolbox and get the first volume today. **

Quotes

  • Ștefan Neaguhas quoted1 hour ago
    Models, then, are most useful when we consider them in the context they were created. What was the cartographer trying to achieve? How does this influence what is depicted in the map?
  • Ștefan Neaguhas quoted1 hour ago
    Reality is the ultimate update.

    Consider the cartographer.

    Maps can influence territories.
  • Ștefan Neaguhas quoted2 days ago
    When we read the news, we’re consuming abstractions created by other people.
