Il grande libro dei modelli mentali

Superthinking

Lauren McCann

The world's greatest problem-solvers, forecasters, and decision-makers all rely on a set of frameworks and shortcuts that help them cut through complexity and separate good ideas from bad ones. They're called mental models, and you can find them in dense textbooks on psychology, physics, economics, and more. Or, you can just read Super Thinking, a fun, illustrated guide to every mental model you could possibly need

The Big Book of Mental Models

Super Thinking

Christian Bager Bach Houmann

Good book. 
Low ROI for me as I've already read so much about mental models. If you don't know a ton of them, I'd highly recommend this book as an entry point.

Andy Sporring

In my Pursuit of finding out better Models for thinking I Found this book and it's a pretty good one

Ivaylo Durmonski

This book is amazing. So amazing that I hated myself after finishing writing the above.

Why?

Well, it was really hard to decide what to include in my summary and what to leave out.

There are more than 300 mental models mentioned inside Super Thinking: The Big Book of Mental Models. While some are just briefly cited, most of the thinking concepts are carefully outlined with enough examples so even a first-grader can get the ideas.

You should definitely read this book. No matter your background or your current occupation. The concepts inside will expand your world view and give you enough mental tools to become a black belt decision-maker.

Key takeaway: Practice. Reading about how to make better decisions is fun but it can also be deceitful. Reading alone won’t lead to anything extraordinary. Once you get the concepts, start applying them.

Would have been just as good (if not better) as a glossary of mental models.

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 distills 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.
