Mental Models: How to Make Intelligent Decisions
🎯 Purpose of the Workshop
This workshop is designed to help you think more clearly and make better decisions by using mental models.
Mental models are simple frameworks that explain how the world works.
They help you cut through noise, reduce complexity, and avoid common thinking mistakes. Most people rely on intuition or habits when making decisions, without realizing how often biases and blind spots affect their judgment. This session gives you practical tools to reason more clearly, especially in complex or uncertain situations.
