why should we use mental models? charlie munger pointed out: "among all the models, 80 to 90 important models account for 90% of the weight. mastering them can give you universal wisdom. among these 80 to 90 models, only a few have the highest gold content." nvidia co-founder and ceo huang renxun believes that "the most important ability is the way to look at the world." "we should always insist on starting from the first principles, thinking deeply about a problem, and trying to have an intuitive grasp of its control dynamics. in this way, we can often infer surprising conclusions and clarify the future direction."

elon musk emphasized: "the first principles are the most essential way to look at the world. it means that you need to break things down to the most basic elements, find something you can be sure of, or something that is closest to the essence, and then deduce it on that basis. it is very important that we use the first principles, rather than analogical thinking, to think about problems." "the only rules to follow are the rules that can be derived from the laws of physics. everything else is just a suggestion."

the "frameworks for thinking" series of books aims to inspire thinking and break stereotypes. it is like a toolbox, and you need to learn the use of each tool through repeated trials. stay curious, practice and reflect constantly, and you will gradually understand the full potential of this toolbox through trial and exploration. currently, "frameworks for thinking 2" is being exclusively launched online on ireader technology.
