Resumen del Editor

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, your 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.

Awesome book

This is a expansion to the articles relating to mental models on Farnam Street blog.
Will definitely listen to it a few more times.
Ca't wait for Vol2.

Great intro to mental models. I want more!

This is a great book I would recommend to anyone. The reader's voice lacks energy, but it's good enough to make listening for an hour or more at a time very doable.

Thank you!

This is a great read or listen. I’ve been reading Farnam Street for years and this was a perfect complimentary book.

Look forward to the implementation, review and seeing how these models will help decision making and understanding how the world and my own mind works!

Sometimes heavy on examples vs. How to use it

I was hoping this would give more how to use the models vs just commenting on their existence and how others have used them

Buen comienzo pero puede mejorar

Me costó terminarlo y en parte por la calidad del narrador. Muy plano y sin matices que cambiaran la rutina del volumen o entonación.

Great models

Great summary of mental models - light touch on their application. Short book, easy to read and understand, solid overall.

great

Fantastical points for the day fifteen words later I'll probably never leave a review again

An efficient path to wisdom

No need to re-create the wheel. This book summarizes what other people have already figured out and presents it in an efficient and easy to understand way so that it can immediately be used to improve your success in life.

Things about thinking you need to know!

Filling in the gaps of the technical things.. Completely worth listening too and one I'll come back to often,.

Great content but narration could be better

I love Shane's work and plan to purchase this entire series but I did find Shane's narration slightly difficult to listen to. He speaks faster than he does on his podcasts which is actually good. I was worried he'd talk too slow. BUT, in speeding up Shane seems to be a little uncomfortable and rushes with his transitions. He needs to pause more... especially when a new section begins. Finally, Shane is a little too monotone in his delivery which I also struggled with. I mean no disrespect but I think a professional narrator may add tremendous value for future audiobooks.
