New book: Odds Favor the Prepared Mind available on Amazon

 Hello everyone. 

I can finally give you the news that you can purchase my new book: Odds Favor the Prepared Mind: The Latticework of General Mental Models on Amazon. You can get it in paperback and Kindle versions. The majority of the content is the same as in the blog. I have included more synthesis, and two chapters: Behavior change and mental models, and Strategy for Life. Here is the book cover:

                                                                    

You can find some material that is not in the blog like: 

- Why most of our strongest beliefs and authority positions are antifragile

- How persuasion professionals and the path of least resistance relate

- Why you cannot ignore path dependence

- Why you should focus on system instead of goals, etc.

I hope you enjoy the book while the blog is on break. I am mentally exhausted and have to recover a while. I have no idea when I will be ready to continue, but it could take a few weeks.

Regs,

Book coming soon

Hello everyone!

I am almost ready to publish my first book in English about mental models soon. If everything goes well, it is ready at some point during next week. I am not ready to announce the title of the book. But I am pretty sure that its subtitle is close to: "The latticework of general mental models."

The book has about 40 models, some of their interconnections and intertwinements, and two brief chapters about larger latticeworks of mental models: Behavior change, and Strategy for life.

Blog returns when I have recovered from the book publishing operation.

Regs,
