SUPER THINKING - GABRIEL WEINBERG LAUREN MCCANN...

A WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER! You can't really know anything if you just remember isolated
facts. If the facts don't hang together on a latticework of theory  you don't have them in a
usable form. You've got to have models in your head.- Charlie Munger  investor  vice chairman
of Berkshire HathawayThe world's greatest problem-solvers  forecasters  and decision-makers all
rely on a set of frameworks and shortcuts that help them cut through complexity and separate
good ideas from bad ones. They're called mental models  and you can find them in dense
textbooks on psychology  physics  economics  and more. Or  you can just read Super Thinking  a
fun  illustrated guide to every mental model you could possibly need. How can mental models
help you? Well  here are just a few examples... If you've ever been overwhelmed by a to-do list
that's grown too long  maybe you need the Eisenhower Decision Matrix to help you prioritize.
Use the 5 Whys model to better understand people's motivations or get to the root cause of a
problem. Before concluding that your colleague who messes up your projects is out to sabotage
you  consider Hanlon's Razor for an alternative explanation. Ever sat through a bad movie just
because you paid a lot for the ticket? You might be falling prey to Sunk Cost Fallacy. Set up
Forcing Functions  like standing meeting or deadlines  to help grease the wheels for changes
you want to occur. So  the next time you find yourself faced with a difficult decision or just
trying to understand a complex situation  let Super Thinking upgrade your brain with mental
models.
