The Great Mental Models: General Thinking Concepts

Schools and universities will not prepare you for real life and decision-making. The secret is that there are unchanging things in the world, universal concepts. If you master them, you will understand how the world works and avoid many problems. Don’t waste time on knowledge with a limited shelf life — focus on the basics. The right behavioral models will prepare you for any challenges: from raising children to healthy eating, from relationships to career takeoffs. This book will allow you to look at life in a new way. The authors talk about nine universal thinking models that are not taught in school, but which are hiding in plain sight and ready to be used.
