About

Overview

Mental Models Box is a collection of models with fairly broad applicability. While there are a lot of great resources out there on mental models, we've tried to maintain a focus on brief descriptions with simple, real life examples of the models in use.

If there's a model you find interesting, we'd encourage you to research and read more about it. In the interest of brevity and conciseness, we do omit a lot of interesting details and history.
