I'm so glad you did, because your site is wonderful! What an amazing resource. I ordered your PDF and I'm looking forward to sitting down and going through it. I agree, the ability to get the "essence" of something quickly is a really big benefit. As you mention on your site, that is one Munger's gifts which he's honed via his lattice work of mental models. I have a feeling your PDF will be a wonderful help to me. Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and post a comment. Hi Dean,

I've been using mental models for quite some time and obviously try to add to them. The really big benefit is the ability to get the 'essence' of something pretty quickly. This is a great time saver in the long run. Best wishes - Dean Jesse,

I agree, there is always so much more to learn. Also, employing the wisdom of those around you is certainly a quick way to amass a breadth of knowledge quickly. Steve – Great points.

But what you say is true, It would be nice to be able to approach problems with a significant breadth of knowledge/experience. Two things: 1) You'll never be able to learn enough. ever. 2) If you want a breadth of knowledge really fast, then just employ others in an efficent way. As much as you know, you'll never know as much as a group of people. Best to realize how dumb you are early on. It’s tough to be a real polymath these days.
