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.

00:05:46 The Positive IS Powerful, But ...

00:11:15 Good Versus Whole

00:14:26 Letting Go of Toxic Positivity

• Toxic positivity is a kind of cognitive distortion and is an overgeneralization of a positive and optimistic attitude. It consists of denial, minimization, and invalidation of your own experience. Toxic positivity grows with shame, silence, and judgment. Positivity itself isn’t toxic, but denying our reality is. Human beings are wholes who contain both good and bad.

• We can embrace the whole instead of the good by watching the phrases we use, making friends with discomfort, being patient while we are in process, distinguishing between productive and unproductive negativity, and reconnecting to what we value and want to achieve in life. Ask yourself, “How does a person who values what I value behave when they experience what I’m experiencing?”

• Keeping a gratitude journal is a great way to create genuine feelings of positivity.

• Easy, everyday lifestyle changes can make a big difference with anxiety and overthinking. An obvious area to examine is whether you’re having too much caffeine. Try to limit yourself to four hundred milligrams daily.

• Everyone worries, so at least do it strategically by scheduling worry time. Keep a worry journal so that instead of fighting worry, you postpone and contain it, tackling it on your own terms.

• Practice gratitude daily to gently shift your perspective to focus on everything that is going well in your world. Use a journal or write thank-you notes to people who have shown you kindness.

• Mental anchoring is a technique that, once established, can be used as often as you like to help ground and calm you. Choose an anchor, choose a desired state, then connect the two during visualization so that revisiting the anchor brings you back to that state of mind.

• Have a consistent morning routine where you focus on good food, nature, healthy habits, and quiet contemplative time where you set your intention for the day. Make sure you’re hydrated, since dehydration can elevate cortisol levels.
