“In this world there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting what one wants”. - Oscar Wilde

After studying people like Elon Musk, Charlie Munger, Tim Ferris, and Eben Pagan. I’ve learned that they all share one superpower. They have all learned and collected “Mental Models”. By using mental models they have been able to spot and seize opportunities. So what are Mental models and why are they not just valuable but infinitely valuable? Mental Models are the maps we use to navigate life But why have maps in the first place? We learn these maps to either succeed in achieving our needs/desires or avoid our biggest fears/frustrations. Therefore, learning and applying the most impactful models in your life is life changing. An example is the 80/20 Mental Model. If you look at your life, ask “what is the 20% that produces 80% of happiness in my life?” Then ask”what are the 20% activity that produces 80% of my income/money?” If you notice we just applied the 80/20 Mental Model In 2 different domains of life... One is on the “Emotional” aspect of life and other is the “Financial “part of life. This is why mental Models are so valuable... you can plug them in at more than 1 category of life and you’ll get amazing insights and results!

My intention is for us is to learn, have great discussions. and actually take action using the powerful tool of Mental models in our life
