A mental model is simply a representation of how something works. We cannot keep all of the details of the world in our brains, so we use models to simplify the complex into understandable and organizable chunks.
The quality of our thinking is proportional to the models in our head and their usefulness in the situation. The more models you have-the bigger your toolbox-the more likely you will have the right models to see reality. In this video, you'll learn nine new mental models you can use to see the world in a unique way.
