100 MENTAL MODELS TO EASE YOUR WAY THROUGH LIFE I wasted years of my life because I did not know its rules. I did not know the rules of relationships, careers, health, or happiness. Then, through hard work, talking with mentors, and trial & error, I uncovered some of them. Now, I lay these rules out for you. In this book, you will find 100 of the lessons I learned. It will still require some work from your side to internalize them and put them into practice, but at least it will make the process easier for you by letting you avoid committing the same mistakes as I did.
