The Great Mental Models: General Thinking Concepts by Shane Parrish and Rhiannon Beaubien

The Great Mental Models: General Thinking Concepts by Shane Parrish and Rhiannon Beaubien

A mental model is a way of looking at a problem that you can carry from one field to another. Shane Parrish's argument is that most bad decisions come from owning only one or two of them and applying them to everything.

This first volume covers nine general ones: the map is not the territory, circle of competence, first principles, thought experiments, second-order thinking, probabilistic thinking, inversion, Occam's razor and Hanlon's razor. Each gets a chapter of examples from history, business and science rather than a definition.

Volume one of the Farnam Street series, and the best place to begin.
