Turn yourself into a superthinker and make the right decisions
every time. You want to make better decisions. You want to be right
more of the time professionally and personally. However, being more
right consistently is a hard problem because the world is such a
complex, evolving place. How do you navigate this complexity?
Mental models are decision-making tools that guide our perception
of the world and our behaviour in it. They help us understand life,
make decisions and solve problems. The best models help us make
intelligent investments, develop ground-breaking technologies and
even travel to outer space. - Note your frame of reference before
debating someone with different political views. If you understand
how your perspective contrasts with someone else's you can prevent
the conversation from getting hostile. - Apply the sunk cost
fallacy to the end of a doomed project. Just because you've put a
lot of hours into it doesn't mean that you have to keep going. -
Before blaming someone, consider Hanlon's Razor, 'Never attribute
to malice that which is adequately explained by carelessness'. -
Try to solve mysteries with Occam's Razor, 'Among competing
hypotheses, the one with the fewest assumptions should be
selected'. When you hear hoof beats, think of horses not zebras.
Building on our knowledge of well-known models such as the
Bandwagon Effect or Paradigm Shift and introducing us to the lesser
known like the Eisenhower Matrix or the Boiling Frog Symbol, this
indispensable book distils the most effective mental models into a
single, digestible volume. It will make even the most complex
models accessible and engaging to enable you to make better, more
informed decisions in every part of your life.
