Writing a book of mental models for myself or others had been bouncing around in my head for the last two years in different forms. I read and learn so much it is hard to keep track of it all and there are so many of those things that have interdisciplinary applications. That is how I found this book, research.
Super Thinking did not disappoint. I knew in the first third of the book that it was a winner. Even if you have heard some of these models before it is nice to put them in context. Super Thinking does an excellent job of not belaboring mental models while also contextualizing them. The perfect balance for me was exemplified by the section summaries which concisely repeated and connected each model in that section.
Now the book is a product of the authors of course so it includes a hefty section on how to run a business and manage people and teams. That was not my thing but I could understand and appreciate its utility.
If I had to add models I would talk more about results oriented thinking, building relationships, and attachment as a lever to manage emotions but again that would be my perspective. The content of this book is crunchy as heck, full of brain food. I am usually a binge listener but I had to listen to this one in parts to fully digest all the great ideas before shoving more into my brain.
