about the site
This website is a digital reference to the mental models listed in the incredible book, super thinking.
Mental models are only useful if you use them. You can only use them if you remember them or have a quick reference to them. This website is suppose to help you with the latter.
Please note that the excerpts from the book are taken out of context and are much more useful in the context of the book. If you've found the content here useful then I highly, highly recommend you buy the book. You'll be glad you did.
about the book
"The world's greatest problem-solvers, forecasters, and decision-makers all rely on a set of frameworks and shortcuts that help make decisions and separate good ideas from bad. They're called mental models, and you can find them by scouring dense textbooks on psychology, physics, economics, and more. Or, you can just read Super Thinking, a fun, illustrated guide to the most useful mental models."
