Thinking model is a visual model composed of easy-to-understand graphics, symbols and structured language, and it is a visual "psychological structure" for people to observe, analyze and solve problems. It is the connection between concept and modular knowledge. It is a thinking formula for solving problems.
Thinking model is the sapphire at the top of the pyramid formed in the evolution of human civilization, an important theory of important disciplines, a "cutting edge" in the ocean of knowledge, and a thinking tool that top experts deliberately practice and use every day.
For example: first principle, compound interest theory, decision tree, Nash equilibrium, golden pyramid principle, uncertainty principle, Bayesian theorem, power law, frame effect and so on.
How to form a mode of thinking?
The formation of thinking mode generally requires the following four steps:
Point thinking: scattered knowledge points, unrelated to each other, scattered in the space of the brain, will be forgotten at any time
Logical thinking: Linear connection of knowledge through induction and deduction can solve some simple problems. Structural thinking: Structuring multiple logical knowledge to form a stable structural thinking can solve complex problems.
Model thinking: taking structural thinking as the framework, filling fragmented knowledge to form a stable visual model, which can improve the extraction efficiency and use efficiency, make thinking more complete and faster, and solve complex problems quickly.
Why study thinking patterns?
1. Avoid thinking mistakes
Common misconceptions:
Black or white absolute thinking: thinking is absolute, black or white, either one or the other, without compromise, such as being either a good person or a bad person.
Subjective emotional reasoning: without evidence, I feel that the other person is not a good person, so I think the other person is a bad person.
Point-by-point thinking: empiricism, fragmented thinking, point-by-point thinking and single-dimensional thinking, unable to grasp the essential law of solving problems, lacking logical thinking ability, unable to carry out thinking modeling and thinking modeling. For example, people with tattoos are not good people. Fatalism of lazy thinking: lazy thinking, like to follow the trend, and believe that everything is fate.
To solve practical problems
Simple question: For example, when writing a paper, you can use the golden pyramid principle model.
Complex problems: involving many disciplines, such as Bitcoin (IT, cryptography, economics, finance, mathematics, psychology, etc. ), the stock market (politics, economics, sociology, psychology, mathematics, investment, probability, etc. ), house price forecast, etc. Experts can combine interdisciplinary models to analyze and solve problems.
Extremely complicated problems: it is better to say that educating children is full of countless variables and uncertainties, involving a wide range of disciplines; Top experts can analyze and solve problems according to problems, combined models and self-created models.
3. Establish a thinking model
From perceptual thinking to rational thinking: from simple decision to rational thinking.
From point thinking to model thinking: from one-dimensional point thinking to multi-dimensional model thinking. ?
Establish your own underlying thinking framework and build a systematic and structured knowledge system.
How to learn thinking mode?
1. Learn from the master
The world's top experts, such as Nobel Prize winners, have spent their whole lives developing a thinking model, and you can get it for free if you want to learn it. In ancient times, Wulin experts played for the "Nine Yin Zhen Classics" or "Sunflower Collection".
, hard work, with strong learning motivation. There is a period: the method is wrong, and the efforts are in vain. Look at your own experience and self-exploration, and progress will be slower. Others have come up with a solution, why not use it? Unless they don't give it to you Only by learning to imitate first and then innovating and surpassing can we be in an invincible position.
Deliberate practice
Knowledge is not your own if it is not tossed. For each mode of thinking, we need to study its historical background, basic assumptions, logical reasoning, experimental data and so on. The thinking mode put forward by the author, so as to truly understand and digest it. No theory can cure all diseases. It is very important to know when and how to use it. Otherwise, taking the wrong medicine will be very troublesome, not that the medicine is bad, but that it is not symptomatic. Use the thinking model to analyze the cases or practical problems around you, practice deliberately and think repeatedly.
3. Brainstorming-Discussion and Sharing (Online Learning)
Thomas Edison, ted turner, Jeff Bezos, Steve Jobs and so on. They can come up with important new ideas because they put themselves in a dynamic and open communication network. These great ideas were formed in contacts with many different people, and they were not imagined out of thin air by virtue of individual intelligence level. Therefore, we should constantly communicate and share with more interdisciplinary people, iterate our own thinking methods and upgrade our thinking.
Use what you have learned.
The value of thinking mode lies in what problems you solve after using it. Many problems are interdisciplinary and need to be applied together. Therefore, it needs continuous use, combination verification and mastery to truly achieve the effect of 1+ 1 greater than 2. You can refer to the model of LPDA learning circle.

LPDA learning circle:
Step 1: learn the model: follow the pictures, texts, audio or videos, learn a thinking model one week, and assign homework? Step 2: Practice deliberately: Finish the homework assigned by the teacher and practice deliberately.
The third step: discussion and sharing: regular cross-border communication, discussion and sharing, brainstorming in study groups and offline.
Step 4: apply what you have learned: make an action plan, implement it, and feedback and improve it.
Why are special forces so powerful? It is precisely because we have mastered at least 50 kinds of weapons usage and simulated real scenes for deliberate practice and combined use that we can cope with complex war scenes in the future.
Munger's four-step learning method;
Step 1: Interdisciplinary learning
Step 2: Learn only important thinking models of important subjects.
Step 3: Combine interdisciplinary thinking models to create a multidimensional thinking model.
The fourth step: deliberate practice, combined with evolution, apply what you have learned and constantly verify the iteration.
Enlightenment: an important thinking mode of learning only important subjects.
