About this ebook

         Mental models are a representation of how things work in our minds, and you can use them to try to explain things and events. These mental models can change your behavior and point of view.
         I hope that in this book, you will find some eye-opening ideas and answers to many of your curiosities. It will help and provide insights into the matters of work, world, and growth. It is not necessary to read these models in a sequence, you can read these models in any way.
        I recommend you to fit and relate these models to your already gained knowledge and experience, and if possible imagine applying each model to the real world.

    Highschooler's Mental Models - S VASIST

    Growth mindset

    Stanford psychologist Dr. Dweck coined the terms fixed mindset and growth mindset to describe the underlying beliefs people have about learning and intelligence in her book Mindset: The New Psychology of Success. Individuals with a growth mindset believe their talents can be developed through hard work, good strategies, and input from others. They tend to achieve more than those with a fixed mindset (those who believe their talents are innate gifts). When people believe they can get smarter, they understand that effort makes them stronger, and they work hard with persistence to improve.

    FEW DIFFERENCES BETWEEN the two mindsets are as follows:

    Deliberate practice

    We’ve all had to practice a skill at some point — piano lessons, exam problems, etc. But mindless repetitions results in a performance plateau, and we stop getting better at what we do. A better way is to practice deliberately. It is an idea from K. Anders Ericsson, a professor at Florida State University, who studies how people become experts at something. It is a purposeful and systematic way to practice and get consistently better at any skill. Deliberate practice, however, is not fun. Breaking down a task you wish to master into its constituent parts and then working on those areas systematically requires a lot of effort. Ericsson has mentioned six steps of deliberate practice.

    1: MAKE SURE IT’S SOMETHING you care about and are willing to devote considerable time and effort to.

    2: Deliberate practice relies on small, achievable, well-defined steps that help you work your way towards meaningful improvement.

    3: You should be working in the learning zone instead of the comfort zone.

    4: Consistent, intense bursts of efforts are key in maintaining momentum in building expertise. Same
