Mental Models

About Mental Models

We go through life without ever questioning what we believe, even though many of those beliefs could easily be wrong. Our worldviews, perspectives, and beliefs can change just by listening to others. Because people take the time to share their thoughts, opinions, and knowledge, we get the chance to do so. That’s why I’m here doing the same, looking at life differently, challenging common beliefs, and learning to think in new ways. I also want to encourage others to do the same, because the more we share and listen, the more we can learn and improve. Host: Tobias Philipp

   Pressured to always be "productive"

   There’re things that need to be done and there’re things that don’t need to be done. So instead of giving energy and attention to unnecessary things we can just be “lazy”.

   Modern work vs. natural limits

   We all have a maximum capacity and therefore ability to do things on a day to day basis. Limits can be stretched but only to a certain extent. Combining that with work that you don’t care about and burn outs and frustrations awaken. Got questions or want to have a conversation with me? Send me an email: mentalmodels@icloud.com.
