Mental Models for Better Thinking is open for enrollment!
Farnam Street
Big news!
Farnam Street’s new course: Mental Models for Better Thinking is now open for enrollment.
To improve your outcomes in life, respond to the world as it is, not as you wish it would be.
We all have mental models and use them every day. But if we didn’t deliberately construct them, they’re likely to be so full of bias and error that they lead us astray.
Mental models are such a fundamental part of how we think that we owe it to ourselves to deliberately create the best ones possible.
Across 5 modules, you’ll build the skills to do just that:
- How to construct useful, reliable mental models
- Practice and prepare to use them
- Integrate models into your thought process in 2 ways
- Reflect and adjust
- Assemble them into a latticework
A latticework you can access anytime to see more of reality, gather the right information, and chart courses of action to solve problems and improve your outcomes.
FS Members get $50 off the course. Sign up for Mental Models for Better Thinking today and we'll share a discount code for $50 off a Farnam Street Membership in 14 days. Valid for new memberships only.
Click here to get the full details and enroll. Know someone who might be interested? Forward them this email.
We created this course to build your ability to develop and integrate mental models into your thinking because the quality of your thinking depends on the models in your head. Quality thinking leads to a better life.
We’ll see you inside,
Shane and Rhiannon
