The Great Mental Models: General Thinking Concepts by Shane Parrish, Rhiannon Beaubien
4.0
The content is absolutely excellent. Shane addresses a great need in this book: putting into words and processes the critical thinking and skills we perform often, if not daily, but which has not been laid out in a compiled and anecdotally illustrated form.
That said, there is still room for improvement in the medium I experienced this book. This book was released early for audible, and I couldn't wait to delve in. However, the occasional spelling out of URLs for visual examples seems tacky to me in an audio-only format. A PDF version will be available for free in the future, and I think that would be the ideal way to experience this book, namely for the URLs and visual examples.
I've followed Shane's podcast for years now and have been extremely pleased, and would highly recommend this book, his podcast, and weekly Brain Food newsletter for any person with interest in critical thinking, self awareness, and broadening expertise in a multitude of topics.
