Mental Models

Lenses for understanding how the world works

Mental models are frameworks for thinking — simplified representations of how things work that help us make better decisions, solve problems, and understand complex situations. Popularized by Charlie Munger and Shane Parrish, the idea is that building a latticework of models from different disciplines — physics, psychology, economics, biology — gives you a toolkit for navigating almost any challenge. These articles break down powerful mental models and show how to apply them in daily life, career decisions, and creative thinking.
