Excellent list! I’m interested in Alfred North Whitehead’s fallacies of misplaced concreteness, and this is one of the best (and funniest–which is an indicator of approach to truth, to me anyway, laugh) lists of mental models I’ve seen in a while. Thank you, Rohit!

Thanks Joan for telling me about Alfred North Whitehead’s fallacies of misplaced concreteness. I will definitely add that to my learning list.

You find it interesting to investigate “Relational Frame Theory” “Passive Frame Theory” “Self Determination Theory” (Theories of learning) “Cumulative Prospect Theory” (Theory of decision making under uncertainty) and the book “The psychology of the emotion of interest.” (Containing an interesting theory of motivation) – I know I did.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have added them to my list and will study them, apply in life and later write about my experiences in a future posts.
