  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

  All Good Things Come to an End:...

  The part of a negotiation that every negotiator wants to get to as quickly as possible is the closing. This is when your prize is insight: the deal that you want is so close that you could almost reach out and touch it. However, it turns out that this is the most dangerous part of a negotiation – it can all slip away from you if you don't know how to navigate the closing correctly. 
   
  What You'll Find Inside: 
  
  6 WAYS TO BREAK A NEGOTIATION DEADLOCK (PLUS ONE MORE) 
  EVERY NEGOTIATION NEEDS A RAP(PORT) STAR! 
  SUCCEED BY BRINGING THE GHOST WHISPERER TO THE NEGOTIATION
  A SALES NEGOTIATOR’S GUIDE TO DEALING WITH A DEADLOCK
  
   
  Negotiating is a skill that we hone by using it over and over again. Opportunities to practice our negotiating skills come in all shapes and sizes and buying a car is one such event. Another way to get better at this thing that we call negotiating is by watching what other profession negotiators do. Negotiations between businesses and their workers, such as Verizon and the CWA / IBEW or even between two businesses such as EA and Take Two can offer us important learning experiences. 
   
  In labor negotiations, it's the balance of power that can often determine which side walks away from the bargaining table with the best deal. Over at Boeing with the large number of different unions that the company has to deal with this has been shown to be true over and over again. 
   
  In order to be able to successfully close a negotiation, you need to have built up a strong foundation that will allow you to move the negotiation to a close. This involves building rapport with the other side of the table and also knowing just exactly who is calling the shots for the other side. 
   
  Finally, the closing of a negotiation often comes about because of a deadline or perhaps because both parties have reached a deadlock that they can't resolve. In both cases, your ability to get the deal that you want will be at risk. Knowing how to deal with these situations is a core skill that every negotiator needs to master.
