Recommendation

He provides pithy explanations and links for further study. getAbstract recommends browsing this useful collection and bookmarking it for future reference.

Take-Aways

  • A working knowledge of mental models can make you a wiser, more effective person.
  • For example, attribute people’s unwelcome behavior to “carelessness” rather than “malice.”
  • Both “Campbell’s Law” and the “Streisand Effect” suggest that trying to conceal information will make it spread more broadly, particularly on the Internet.
