If you are curious about any of these questions, this guide will give you the answers you have been searching for.

So many people have no idea what a mental model is - or that they control our lives.

Mental models are the mind’s framework to help us make sense of the world, solve problems, and make informed decisions.

They are built with your education, past experiences, and habits of thought you create over time.

But did you know your mental models can go wrong?

And even be harmful to your life?

Harmful models come from biases or ill-formed beliefs, which can cause you to have low self-esteem, depression, and poor relationships.

Understanding how mental models work is the first step towards using models to make you function more efficiently, make better, more logic-based decisions, and use your mental energy more wisely.

In his influential 2011 book Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman explains the two systems of thinking the brain has and why it uses mental models.

He reveals that while part of our thinking is slow, thoughtful, and requires effort, the other part of our brain wants to conserve energy, using mental models to build shortcuts and patterns to automate our thoughts.

A 30000 feet view of mental models

A very high level perspective of mental models. Good for introductory readers, not for experienced folks. Also, good for quick classifications of large gamut of models.
