I gave up reading about 1/4 through

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on February 7, 2022

Verified Purchase

I found all of the mental models described in the early part of the book very obvious and well known to me. I decided that they might have put the "best" stuff at the front and it maybe downhill from here, so I quit reading and stuck it on a bookshelf.

Great summary of concepts across multiple disciplines

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on July 7, 2019

You probably already know many of the ideas in this book either through prior reading or through life experience and intuition, but having them all categorized, in one place, with their interrelations shown makes it super impactful.

It could change your life.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 8, 2019

Verified Purchase

I'd been aware of some of the things in this book for a while, but I can tell this is epic collection of mental models collated in to a single book and arranged in logical order is going to have a significant effect on the way I look at life (not just work). Only a chapter in and I find this book engaging and enjoyable while educational.

If you liked the "Head First" books I would say this is similar in some respects; explaining abstract concepts and relating them to the real world in memorable ways.

Depends on your expectations

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 1, 2020

Verified Purchase

I feel like I must have read a different book to everyone else. Yes there's lots of 'names for ways of thinking' such as the example that sticks with me: victim blaming, then an explanation of what that means and why you shouldn't do it. Okay but.. so that's one of my "400" mental models? Who needs that explaining? A lot of the concepts are obvious but explained and then off on a tangent to talk about them, supply statistics on the topic etc... but we're not trying to learn about those subjects, we're trying to learn mental models. I got about 25% through. Maybe as a reference it would be okay but not a book to read in it's entirety for me.

Lots of great models but ultimately a compendium of other people's ideas

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 20, 2020

Verified Purchase

The first half of this was interesting and new to me but the second covered models I'd seen elsewhere.

The summaries at the end of each chapter are really all you need to read as the authors have pulled together a huge collection of ideas from lots of other people but added nothing of their own. Maybe, that is all they intended but I'd have appreciated some more insights into how they had deployed some of these in building Duck Duck Go for example.

Dr Adam Vile

A good collection of valuable mental models

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 13, 2020

Verified Purchase

A well written, succinct and useful collection of ideas about business, life, success and happiness all encapsulated in the mental model of “mental models”
After getting half way I found it a little repetitive, but struggled to the end and continued to learn some things.
If you are already far along in your career, or in your thinking, much of this will be familiar, but it’s still a useful synthesis of lots of things that you should know, or had forgotten that you did. This book should certainly be on the virtual bookshelf of everyone who is just leaving school or college or just starting out in buisness or adult life.

Great overview of modern mental scaffolding

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 17, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is a fast-paced and easy to read journey through various mental models that you will find useful in daily life. You will certainly be familiar with many of the concepts in the book, but there are many hidden gems, and the author draws from a relatively wide array of disciplines (aside: though perhaps a little too much on statistics, the discussion of type II errors etc was excessive). There will of course be many 'mental' ideas that are missing, but plenty here for the curious reader.
