This bestseller reveals how mental models stand between you and the truth and how to transform them into your biggest advantage!&nbsp; Learn how to develop new ways of seeing, when to change to a new model, how to swap amongst a portfolio of models, how&nbsp;to understand complex environments and how to do "mind R and D," improving models through constant experimentation.&nbsp; Jerry Wind and Colin Crook review why it's so hard to change mental models and offer practical strategies for dismantling&nbsp;"hardened missile silos". Finally they show how to access models quickly through intuition, and&nbsp;assess the effectiveness of any mental model.<i>Purchasers of this book gain access to audio summaries on a companion web site, along with a&nbsp;new half-hour interview with the authors.</i></p>
