The Great Mental Models vol. 3 – Systems and Mathematics
This post is about the 3rd (and, so far, the last) volume about the Great Mental Models by Shane Parrish, so following The Great Mental Models – General Thinking Concepts and The Great Mental Models, vol. 2 – Physics, Chemistry…
The Great Mental Models, vol. 2 – Physics, Chemistry and Biology
I already wrote about the Great Mental Models by Farnam Street, you can read about the first volume here. The published volumes are 3. I greatly appreciate the first one, but – with all the respect for the author(s) –…
The decision book – or “50 ways to show you a 2×2 matrix”

Buy Back Your Time
One of the book I read last month is “Buy Back Your Time” by Dan Martell. I came across this book listening to a video of Ali Abdaal, but this is exactly why I just decided I won’t follow Ali…
Glucose Revolution – understanding mechanisms and numbers before mindlessly following “biohacks”
One of the quotes that a professor of mine used to repeat is “Measure what can be measured, and make measurable what cannot be”, attribuited to Galileo Galilei (actually everyone of us in STEM, engineers most of all, are obsessed…
