The internet has made it so easy for anyone to get access to information and data. But that data and information by themselves don't translate to knowledge. If anything many people feel overwhelmed by data and the often contradictory conclusions that experts might draw from the same set of data.
How can you cut through all that noise and gain insights that can translate to action? Scott E Page suggests building your own mental model Swiss Army knife. His book the Model Thinker introduces models that explain many aspects of society and economies, and he encourages you to use a battery of models to draw your own conclusions. You will learn about the friendship paradox, or why your friends are likely to be more connected than you are. Or how the composition of the compensation committee can explain why CEO pay has increased so much in the US compared to Germany.
But most importantly, you will learn tools that can help you understand the world, and what you can do in your own personal life.
