Summary:

Time and time again, great thinkers such as Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett have credited their success to mental models--representations of how something works that can scale onto other fields. Mastering a small number of mental models enables you to rapidly grasp new information, identify patterns others miss, and avoid the common mistakes that hold people back. The Great Mental Models series walks you through the most versatile, all-purpose mental models you can use right away to improve your decision making and productivity, drawing on examples from history, business, art, and science. For the first time available in a beautifully designed boxed set, The Great Mental Models demystifies once elusive concepts and illuminates rich knowledge that traditional education overlooks. It makes the perfect gift for any enterprising, money-wise person in your life.
