100 Mental Models Book By Wisdom Theory

The world is complex and interconnected, and we need to understand the big ideas from big disciplines, in order to have a whole map of the reality to be able to make better decisions.

Critical thinking has to be based on going to the fundamental ideas, to the mental models.

Mental models are the most important ideas of each science: philosophy, mathematics, physics, statistics, engineering, chemistry, biology, psychology, economics and history.

You need to know and connect them.

I’m not convinced this is for you, but if you have a growth mindset you should think multidisciplinary, the way of the greatest in history:

The first rule is that you can’t really know anything if you just remember isolated facts and try and bang ’em back. If the facts don’t hang together on a latticework of theory, you don’t have them in a usable form.

—Charlie Munger

I basically load my head full of mental models.

—Naval Ravikant

Don’t just follow the trend. You may have heard me say that it’s good to think in terms of the physics approach of first principles. Which is, rather than reasoning by analogy, you boil things down to the most fundamental truths you can imagine and you reason up from there.

—Elon Musk

The things best to know are first principles and causes, but these things are perhaps the most difficult for men to grasp, for they are farthest removed from the senses.

—Aristotle

If our small minds, for some convenience, divide this universe, into parts—physics, biology, geology, astronomy, psychology, and so on—remember that nature does not know it!

—Richard Feynman

Specialization is for insects.

—Robert A. Heinlein

These models do not tell you what you think, rather they teach you how to think, and encourage you to think critically.
