Publisher’s Summary
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.

What Audible Listeners Are Saying
5/5 stars — “Author’s Performance, No Concept of Pacing or Beat”
Great book and very informative. Like a mixtape of mental models, very useful. However audio form may be better suited for a professional performer. Author seems to be rushing through the material, not concerned with natural pacing of conversation. He reads like an elementary school student asked to read to his peers – uninterested and eager to get over with it.— J. Ferrer, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “Food for though. “
The world would be a better place if everybody knew about these models. Nice work!— Karl 0., Audible listener
4/5 stars — “Good but…”
Layout and organization of ideas could be better. Rule 1 rule 2 etc. I look forward to the next installment.— BigCityTap, Audible listener
