Creative Mission

COMPREHENSIVE CREATIVE CREATIVITY

Our "Creative Mission" is to foster a rich, interdisciplinary dialogue that will convey and forge new tools and applications for creative, critical and philosophical thinking; engaging the world in the process. Through workshops, tutorials and social media platforms we also strive to entertain, educate and empower people - from individuals, to businesses, governments or not-for-profit groups; we aim to guide them in building a base of constructive ideas, skills and a Brain Fit paradigm - thereby setting the stage for a sustainable, healthy, and creative approach and lifestyle . These synthesized strategic "Critical Success Factors" - can then give rise to applied long-term life or business - Operating Living Advantages and Benefits.

And, at the same time, we encourage Charlie Monger's key attitude and belief - for and with all of whom we reach - " develop into a lifelong self-learner through voracious reading; cultivate curiosity and strive to become a little wiser (and more grateful)* everyday."

Advance Your #Thinking With Mental #Models

"These general thinking tools are just 9 of the mental models that you can learn to think better."

How Mental Models Unlock Your Thinking

By Shane Parrish

The first thing I learned from Charlie Munger’s 1995 Speech, The Psychology of Human Misjudgment, was why my MBA was a waste of time. While I didn’t drop out of the program, I did stop doing homework. Instead I spend time reaching and learning about mental models and the various ways we mislead ourselves. By showing me the world had so much more to offer, Munger opened a door that has never closed.

Mental models are representation of how something works. We can’t keep all of the details of the world in our brains, so we use models to simplify the complex into understandable and organizable chunks. Whether we realize it or not, we then use these models every day to think, decide, and understand our world. They help us decide what information is relevant and what information is irrelevant.

While there are millions of mental models, I want to focus on nine that will help you think better that are in our book The Great Mental Models Volume 1: General Thinking Concepts (kindle, audible).

Inspirations of passions

Make your interests gradually wider and more impersonal, until bit by bit the walls of the ego recede, and your life becomes increasingly merged in the universal life. An individual human existence should be like a river — small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past rocks and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being.
