Do you constantly question your decision making?

Or do you want to become more flexible and open-minded in all areas of your life?

Mental models are natural and help us make decisions, assess situations, and conserve our energy.

But sometimes those models turn into a trap that hurts your mental game, rather than helps it.

Our beliefs, ideas, values, perceptions, and experiences change over time, so shouldn’t the structures in our mind also evolve?

This guide teaches you how to utilize those mental models when it is appropriate but question when and how you use them when they trap you in.

It’s time to break apart and rebuild the maps you have created in your mind.

Based on psychological research, this guide reveals the different ways we think, such as emotionally, analytically, and logically, and it teaches you how to use each mindset when making decisions.

Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky’s 1973 research on “Judgement Under Biases and Heuristics” through the Oregon Research Institute provides foundational evidence for us.

They show how mental models interfere with humans’ ability to gather new information and build patterns of thought, making it difficult to assess new problems and decisions.

With this guide, you’ll

Not Quite as Billed

This book is not truly about mental models, despite what the title and subtitle states. Rather, the bulk of the book seems to look at reasons why reasoning fails, like mental traps, biases, and fallacies. The author just touches on mental models a little in the beginning. His basic opinion is that they are not to be trusted because of the issues I just mentioned (along with a few others). But I didn't really feel like he drew the parallel between the concept of mental model and the failings of reasoning. I didn't feel like the other information in the book truly reflected what this book should have in it based on its title and subtitle. I hate when a book fails to deliver on its promise. Given that the author is not a fan of mental models and suggests that he will offer an alternative, I have to admit that I didn't really see that addressed in the book. If you're looking for a book on any of these kinds of topics—mental models, biases, and fallacies—you would probably find a better book out there.

I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.
