The old saying goes, "To the man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail." But anyone who has done any kind of project knows a hammer often isn't enough.

The more tools you have at your disposal, the more likely you'll use the right tool for the job — and get it done right.

The same is true when it comes to your thinking. The quality of your outcomes depends on the mental models in your head. And most people are going through life with little more than a hammer.

Until now.

The Great Mental Models: General Thinking Concepts is the first book in The Great Mental Models series designed to upgrade your thinking with the best, most useful and powerful tools so you always have the right one on hand.

This volume details nine of the most versatile, all-purpose mental models you can use right away to improve your decision making, productivity, and how clearly you see the world. You will discover what forces govern the universe and how to focus your efforts so you can harness them to your advantage, rather than fight with them or worse yet— ignore them.

Upgrade your mental toolbox and get the first volume today!

Here's what people have to say about the book.

Recommend this book to anyone wanting to think using Mental Models. A very well constructed stories and highlights the different mental models in easy to understand manner. Sometimes we already apply some of these techniques without knowing.

The Kindle copy has a dark cover page, probably directly converted the red into a deep gray but otherwise okay. Content is excellent, relevant and a perspective-opener, I'm going to be following this series of books.

Good concepts, but okay content

Reviewed in India on 4 September 2020

The models mentioned in the book are interesting to explore, but the way the author goes around describing them, and the more than necessary amount of examples and repetition makes it a boring read for a few parts.

I consider Shane as a teacher whose works should be included in school and college curriculum. Having been a devout listener of his podcast, his book shines through with excellent models of thinking and decision making and examples that help the reader grasp the subject matter more deeply

I love how all the chapters get to the point directly.
They all come with relevant examples.
Also, if you like going into rabbit holes, you can research more on the people that were introduced at the start of every chapter.

A quick romp through some important tools for thinking with. Only four stars because it is so quick. Some sections are superficial and some require knowledge of US popular culture and sports personalities but these are tools everyone should know about. I had the Kindle edition. It worked well but some "sidebars" were a few pages away from where they were initially referenced. I will be reading the next volume in the series.

If you are a reader of the Farnam street blog, much of the content will be familar but this is a great way to have it condensed in one book.

The book is short, focused and gets right down to the mental models. Some of the popular mental models covered are

The Map is not the territory
circle of competence
First principles thinking
Second-order thinking
probabilistic thinking
Inversion

Easy to read and will teach you loads

A quick read overview of mental models

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 March 2021

Verified Purchase

This book is adapted from a series of blog posts, which makes it a good overview and quick read. Each chapter speaks to one mental model, describing it and then providing 2-3 examples from history. The only negative for me was that in a couple chapters I felt the examples were a bit of a stretch to support the theory he just defined. I didn’t quite believe it and he even acknowledges in one that he can’t truly know what led a historical figure to make a certain decision. Nothing in the book was brand new to me, but I liked the framing of each as mental models as I can now tie the concepts more neatly together when discussing with colleagues at work.
