The Great Mental Models, Volume 2

Farnam Street Media

Why I recommend it

This brings ideas from physics, chemistry, and biology into everyday reasoning. It offers more ways to think about change and how things affect one another.

What it changed in my thinking

An event makes more sense when we look at what’s around it and how people or systems respond.

Who it’s useful for

Readers who want to think more carefully about connected problems.

A tension or limitation

A scientific comparison only goes so far. People can interpret and change the rules in ways physical objects can’t.
