Mental Models

[PukkaDanks]

Recently, I've found mental models to be a fascinating way to start looking at the world. I think in Leos videos he touches on mental models by challenging the way we think or deeply explaining concepts.

Each quarter I pick a mental model to try and focus on, and make sure to journal about how I've used it in a day, a few examples I've used

- Extreme ownership (from Jocko Wilink) the idea you should own everything in life

- First principles thinking (Leo is great at this) basically breaking down each problem or question into its fundamental truths

- Signal v Noise - understanding the theory that their are a lot high noise media types out their (i.e the news) and we need to look for the signal to understand things.

One of the most powerful mental models in my 'stage orange' journey has been understanding exponential risk. In my opinion Leo fully understands this which is why he spend a whole year or whatever it was developing his oblivion add on, or why he started his own business or even this group on people. I made a video on this risk type if you guys are interested

Interested to hear if there any mental models which have worked for you particularly well over the years?
