Rezensionen / Stimmen
You can't really know anything if you just remember isolated facts. If the facts don't hang together on a latticework of theory, you don't have them in a usable form. You've got to have models in your head -- Charlie Munger * investor, vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway * An intellectual playground that will have your brain doing mental reps and seeing the world differently -- Shane Parrish * creator of the Farnam Street blog and host of The Knowledge Project podcast * An invaluable resource for making sense of the world, making good decisions, and placing smart bets. A fast-paced and fun read jam-packed with useful information on every page. I wish I'd had this book ages ago! -- Annie Duke * author of Thinking in Bets * Internalizing these mental models will help you understand the world around you. Once you can spot them, you can change your own behavior to avoid common traps, adjust how you interact with people to get better results, and maybe even articulate new mental models of the world that have yet to be discovered -- Brian Armstrong * Cofounder & CEO of Coinbase *
