Wise Charlie

Hey Product Hunt! I am thrilled to share this project I have been working on for many months now. I have been fascinated by mental models ever since I read the Almanack of Charlie Munger. My pure fascination with this concept merely has been due to giving me an ability to think independently. Using a multi-disciplinary approach to understand things around me has been really advantageous. Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger, Benjamin Franklin, Leonardo da Vinci, Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein and so many others have applied this kind of concept of multi-disciplinary approach to learn and broaden their thinking. As much as it has been fun to build the product, learn about mental models, I really want to teach mental models. So, I have been writing extensively about these mental models. You can find it here: https://medium.com/@HeyWiseCharl.... I have also open sourced all mental models here https://github.com/wisecharlie/. The motivation to build this product was to help myself initially. I was the customer but then I thought why not share with others who may benefit from this as well. So, I selected most of the models that Charlie mentioned in this text, shortened each mental model in its most simplistic definition, followed by a humorous example and a beautiful illustration explaining the model. They are beautiful for work desk, coffee table or bookshelf. I have placed a deck everywhere so I am surrounded by them. Why 100 mental models only? In Charlie's words, "80 or 90 important models will carry about 90% of the freight in making you a worldly wise person." Here is a special Product Hunt 10% discount (PH212018) if you are interested in purchasing the deck of cards. They are beautiful, short and funny. Please let me know if you have any questions.

This is really a beautiful piece of work. Too bad it wasn’t featured as prominently today.
