Everyday Mental Models - The Simple Tools to Simplify Your Life

Mental models are a guide to help you make the best decision for any life decision.

For example, think of buying a house. How should you evaluate your buying decision?

Here, a mental model called second-order thinking can help. In this, for every aspect, you go one level below to see the real numbers. For example, there is the cost of the house, then the cost of parking, then maintenance and phantom cost. This way of thinking helps you go a level below your current thinking, and you end up making a better-informed decision.

In this book, there are many scenarios ranging from well-being topics to big mental models. Use it as a reference. Hope this helps you.
