Mental Model
Mental models are explanations of how something works.
- They guide your perception and behavior.
- They are the thinking tools that you use to understand life, make decisions, and solve problems.
- They are imperfect, but useful.
- The best mental models are the ideas with the most utility.
- Learning a new mental model gives you a new way to see the world.
Developing a broad base of mental models is critical for anyone interested in thinking clearly, rationally, and effectively.
