    What would you do if there was a tool to help you make better decisions in less time? You'd jump at the chance, wouldn't you? 
Mental models help you filter information, which allows you to see things more clearly and make better decisions. 
Mental models are also a shortcut to finding the quickest and the best route to solve your problems, whether work-related or personal. 
The beauty of mental models is that their variety is virtually infinite, and they help you come up with solutions for just about any issue. 
So you're thinking about opening a business. You're not sure what kind of business will be best. The law of Supply and Demand can help. It dictates that companies provide the goods and services demanded by the public. The most profitable companies are those that do this best. 
Armed with this knowledge, you can now narrow down your options considerably. 
"Developing the habit of mastering the multiple models that underlie reality is the best thing you could do," according to Charlie Munger, who credits his success to the lifetime cultivation of a "latticework" of mental models on which to frame his decisions. 
The problem with the average person's mental models is that most are not designed to handle complexity. 
And while the conscious use of mental models is possible, they require higher-order thinking skills that few people engage in for various reasons. But that doesn't have to be you! 
Inside you'll find:How mental models declutter your thinking and stimulate decision-making (warning: immediate impact on 4 cognitive processes!)The Master List of mental models (including the best two used by Munger)3 characteristics that help you to spot an excellent mental modelWhy we don't use mental models and what we tend to do insteadHow to make your mental toolkit resemble a Swiss army knife in 5 steps

    What more can pleasure offer us, and how can we transform this pleasure into intentional practice in pursuit of a collective liberatory future?
When a society marginalises a people, their humanity is revolutionary in all its hunger and joy. As the queer community worldwide faces rampant transphobia, rising hate crime, and unequal access to support services – all in the context of humanitarian crises, a climate crisis, and a destabilised political landscape – hedonism can play a central role in how we seek to organise as a symbiotic system. When viewed through a queer lens, hedonism undergoes a process of transformation, embodying the power for change and much more.
Borrowing from the Ancient Greeks' understanding of love's multiplicity, Roses for Hedone explores queer hedonism not as a momentary phenomenon or indulgence, but rather a transformational route – whether via euphoric raves, inspired art, marching side by side in protest, or sharing simple delights – through which we can learn from our past, connect in the present, and look towards a more fair, hopeful future together.

    In the French filmmaker Robert Bresson’s cinematography, the linkage of fragmented, dissimilar images challenges our assumption that we know either what things are in themselves or the infinite ways in which they are entangled. The “bond” of Sharon Cameron’s title refers to the astonishing connections found both within Bresson’s films and across literary works by Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, and Kafka, whose visionary rethinkings of experience are akin to Bresson’s in their resistance to all forms of abstraction and classification that segregate aspects of reality.  Whether exploring Bresson’s efforts to reassess the limits of human reason and will, Dostoevsky’s subversions of Christian conventions, Tolstoy’s incompatible beliefs about death, or Kafka’s focus on creatures neither human nor animal, Cameron illuminates how the repeated juxtaposition of disparate, even antithetical, phenomena carves out new approaches to defining the essence of being, one where the very nature of fixed categories is brought into question. An innovative look at a classic French auteur and three giants of European literature, The Bond of the Furthest Apart will interest scholars of literature, film, ethics, aesthetics, and anyone drawn to an experimental venture in critical thought.
