Mental Models: The Best Way to Make Intelligent Decisions (~100 Models Explained)

https://fs.blog/mental-models/

I’ve been reading Farnham Street for a while, and this topic is the recommended starting point for new readers.

Here’s a snippet from Charlie Munger:

If you want to be a good thinker, you must develop a mind that can jump the jurisdictional boundaries. You don’t have to know it all. Just take in the best big ideas from all these disciplines. And it’s not that hard to do.

Charlie Munger
