Glad you enjoyed it!

[@beeplovegh1271]

Could you please upload summary of book 'Think Like A Monk' Next😁

[@EthanSchwandtTheMindMapGuy]

Thanks for the recommendation! Quite a few books on the list and in the works currently - but I'll add this one as well.

[@nodeanhammond8992]

Thanks Ethan, great video. I find First Principle Thinking and Socratic questioning especially useful in evaluating some of my relationships, I think Socratic questioning can be used by couples as a means of removing (often unpleasant) assumptions about what is really happening in the relationship, a means of therapy even.

[@EthanSchwandtTheMindMapGuy]

Thank you for sharing that information! I hadn't thought of that use case but it makes a lot of sense.

[@jordanjones3711]

Im super interested to see this program you've created and how it you did. It'd be a cool portfolio piece.

[@seyedmosayebalameikiyo7141]

How the hell this video has so little views!! So helpful. And such a beautiful tool. How can I get it?

[@MarkLevison]

I'm curious with your move to Markdown and your own tool (based on Obsidian?) have you given up on mind maps? Your last one seems to be dated from Feb?

[@EthanSchwandtTheMindMapGuy]

Hey Mark! I think Obsidian just offers more benefits to linking books together. For me, the mind maps are great for stand alone - but most of learning is building on concepts. So yes I've decided to switch to Obsidian for now - with no plans to go back to Mind mapping.

hi i request you to make summary of the mental models books using diagrams and images and other things you are just using this mind maps it looks very unpleasant to eyes , its just a feedback

[@heyphilphil]

The map is not the territory comes from NLP
