Leaders throughout history have relied on a common set of principles—a mental toolkit—to inform their thinking. The Great Mental Models by Shane Parrish, creator of Farnam Street and Brain Food, offers a masterclass on these principles. This updated four-volume collection, now with insights on economics and art, covers everything from inversion and inertia to feedback loops and second-order thinking.
"There is no system that can prepare us for all risks. Factors of chance introduce a level of complexity to any situation that is not entirely predictable. But being able to draw on a repertoire of timeless mental models can help us minimize risk by better understanding the forces that are at play. Likely consequences don’t have to be a mystery."
We're over the moon that Shane is offering Wisereads readers a preview of Volume One. If you enjoy it, you can preorder The Great Mental Models before its release on October 15th and submit your receipt to receive special bonuses, including a PDF summary of all four volumes' mental models here. |
