<i>Pause to Think </i>might be the most useful book I have ever read. By applying mental models to the most important aspects of our intellectual lives, it helps readers to make better decisions, learn more effectively, and be happier.

This book identifies and explains mental models that can make you wiser and happier.
- Tren Griffin, author of <i>Charlie Munger: The Complete Investor</i> and <i>A Dozen Lessons for Entrepreneurs</i>,
Iâll admit it, Iâm a cynic about mental models. Iâve always been skeptical of finance bros who lift their heads from an Excel spreadsheet just long enough to pursue worldly wisdom by reading about worldly wisdom. Jaime Lesterâs <i>Pause to Think</i> is a welcome surprise that masterfully explores proven concepts and frameworks that help you think, learn, and make rational decisions. This book is smart, useful, and, dare I say it, wise.
- Jeff Gramm, author of <i>Dear Chairman: Boardroom Battles and the Rise of Shareholder Activism</i>,
If you are familiar with mental models, add this book to your collection. If you are new to mental models, itâs a good place to start. I guarantee you will be smarter.
