{"product_id":"book-ejos","title":"Mental Models: Thinking Tools to Increase Your Productivity, Improving Decision Making Skills, Logical Analysis, and Problem-Solving. Learn How to Change Your Mind and Control Your Life.","description":"\u003cp\u003eMental models are simulations created by the mind to make sense of the world and predict. Metal models are tools the mind uses for thinking and making decisions. Phil Johnson-Laird and Ruth Byrne have proposed the idea of mental models to explain how humans think.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eModels can be three-dimensional objects that people, like ownership or negation, can rotate in their minds or abstract concepts that cannot be visualized. Mental models can be compared to the blueprint of an architect or the DNA model of a biologist, with the distinction that mental models are abstract images that are intangible, and not physical. Models can be drawn from a wide range of fields: economics, biology, military, engineering, math, etc. For another, a model derived from one domain may serve as an analogy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe theoretical number of mental models is infinite. But some, including Shane Parrish, suggest that you research various mental models to enhance your thought. He has compiled a comprehensive collection of models from different domains that are useful for application to many problem types. Examples include first thought principles: based on fundamental facts rather than referring to what you already know (analogies).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA conceptual model is simply a description of the workings of something. We cannot hold all of the world's complexities in our minds, so we use templates to streamline the vast into understandable and organized chunks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome of contents in this book are listed here:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMental Models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Power of Our Mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat Is Your Mental Model?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThinking Tools to Increase Your Productivity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreative Thinking Skills         \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffective Mental Tools to Get Creative Solutions to Problems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecision Making Mistakes to Avoid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat are you waiting for… click to buy your copy now\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"INAudio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49424064053552,"sku":"BDejos","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/ejos-Square-cover.jpg?v=1773313907","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-ejos","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
