Think in Models: A Structured Approach to Clear Thinking and the Art of Strategic Decision-Making
Learn mental models for error-proof thinking, analysis, and decisions.
The world is not as it seems. It requires a bit more analysis to see reality, and applying mental models is the best way to start. A thinking toolkit for nearly all problems and complexities in life.
Think in Models is a collection of the world's (and history's) greatest mental models that are exclusively focused on getting the most insight from the least amount of information. You'll learn over 20 of the most helpful and widely-applicable mental models and above all else, learn to think like a genius.
A wide variety of examples, explanations, and step-by-step guidelines are also included.
Nick Trenton grew up in rural Illinois and is quite literally a farm boy. His best friend growing up was his trusty companion Leonard the dachshund. RIP Leonard. Eventually, he made it off the farm and obtained a BS in Economics, followed by an MA in Behavioral Psychology.
Knowing how to think is always better than having more information.
-The simple way to know whether you are truly open-minded or not - Why you must always ask yourself a few questions in Latin -What your gut feeling is really telling you - How to analyze systems in your everyday life -How Sherlock Holmes thinks and solves crimes
Don't just wing it. Emulate the best and reach your goals.
Thinking in models isn't just important for large decisions or work issues. You can use all of these skills in daily life to live better, happier, and more stress-free.
Think in models and think like history's most accomplished thinkers.

Technically correct but.......
I would be surprised if most people who read this book were actually able to apply it in their lives, largely due to the examples used. There are better ways to explain mental models, especially when applied to education, and much better ways to explain systems thinking using examples people can relate to.

I expected to read about structured thinking frameworks, to help organize your thoughts and help with problem solving and understanding and communicating complex concepts, etc.
This book offered something else. It discusses growth and closed mindset, biases in our thinking, and setting premises for successful argumentation. Not a bad book but was a different direction than what I expected, so the book did not fulfill my needs. I also find the title misleading
