General Thinking Concepts
A cult bestseller in the US, available around the world for the first time, The Great Mental Models introduces the simple tools we all need to see the world clearly. Time and time again, great thinkers like Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger have credited their success to mental models: simple representations of how the world works that can be applied in a wide array of contexts. Mastering a small number of these concepts enables you to rapidly grasp new information, identify patterns others don't, and better anticipate outcomes. The Great Mental Models introduces the most powerful models that anyone can use right away to improve decision making and productivity. In this volume, Shane Parrish introduces the universal concepts that underpin better thinking, including: Occam's Razor: When faced with competing hypotheses, the simplest explanation is often the best one. Circle of competence: We operate optimally in the territory we know best and the quality of our thinking decreases as we venture too far outside our areas of expertise. Inversion: To invert a problem is to think about it in reverse, and thereby work out what not to do in response. Building a latticework of mental models is one of the most powerful things you can do to become a better thinker, leader, or creator. The Great Mental Models is the accessible guide you need to unlock this ability.
In jeder Situation wissen, was zu tun ist - "Eine unentbehrliche Entscheidungshilfe" Spiegel-Bestsellerautor James Clear
Die Werkzeugkiste für gute Entscheidungen Denken ist nichts, was wir lernen können – werden die meisten behaupten. Shane Parrish war Agent bei einem Geheimdienst mit drei Buchstaben und musste auf die harte Tour feststellen, dass es gravierende Unterschiede beim Denken gibt. Nach einem Einsatz, der nicht mit dem gewünschten Erfolg endete, begann er, das Denken infrage zu stellen. In welchen Situationen können wir überhaupt klar denken? Wie lässt sich unser reflexartiges Denken verbessern? Sobald wir unter Druck geraten, entfernen wir uns automatisch von unserem eigentlichen Ziel und dem klaren Denken und Entscheiden. Shane Parrish hat in Gesprächen mit diversen Meister*innen des Denkens, wie beispielsweise Daniel Kahnemann, und durch eigene Reflexion herausgefunden, was klares Denken ausmacht. Welche Situationen prädestiniert sind für kluge Entscheidungen und klares Denken und wie wir uns den mentalen Raum dafür nehmen, zeigt Shane Parrish nun in seinem ersten Buch.
