What is the Mental Models Workbook?
The Mental Models Workbook is a printable and fillable digital workbook with structured exercises for 35+ mental models. Each exercise gives you a template to apply one framework to a real decision or challenge - not a hypothetical.
How does the Mental Models Workbook help you?
Knowing a mental model is different from using it under pressure. Reading builds familiarity. Practice builds fluency. This workbook builds the second one.
How to use the Mental Models Workbook?
1. Pick a model you want to develop.
2. Complete the exercise using a real current problem - not a hypothetical.
3. Work through one model per week, or go deep around one specific decision.
Use alongside the Mental Models Card Deck: the deck finds the right model, the workbook applies it.

Very helpful especially on days I’m lacking motivation.
I ordered a bundle of these amazing cards and our whole family loves them! We use the emotions cards every evening at dinner with our kids. One person picks one and the others have to guess before the individual sections are read out. Lots of fun and very insightful! Thank you for creating these!
Thank you for the card. My boss shared his selected card with the other leaders and provided a brief insight. Everyone is now sharing their reflections.
Delivery a bit slow but the cards are great. They response fast (though you should query within work hours). I like to use them for my own personal development :).
Would definitely buy other decks.
I purchased the digital deck alone and put it to enough use that I returned for the physical deck.
The brainstorm deck arrived along with an ice storm. I was delighted that when the power went out in my area my project was able to kick into high gear. With the brainstorm deck, a chart marker, easel pad, battery operated visual timer, whiskey and candlelight everything came together pleasantly.
PPC y marketing de contenido son 2 estrategias diferentes y puedes combinarlas, pero debes tener claridad de sus diferencias, eso lo pude saber gracias a esta super herramienta!!!

I've been using the InsightDecks Cognitive Bias card deck for a while now, and I can honestly say it's become one of my most valuable resources. What impressed me most is how practical and immediately applicable it is—this isn't just theoretical information gathering dust on a shelf.

Great deck. Very useful for me, who is AuDHD. The cards are made of great paper, not too thick but not too thin, either. I think I will buy more decks in the future.

I love seeing my decks every morning, just to remind myself the state of my emotions, as well as what I am wanting to achieve (emotionally). The decks help me to process my emotions and able to channel it to a healthier means. I would love to buy more decks on marketing, and other professional development.

I love the cards format for explaining the different concepts and it’s also a great tool to use with my clients and my business. The exercises are also very helpful and easy to apply.
I run a small hair salon and always thought charging per service was the only way. After using the deck in a few brainstorming sessions with my team, we came up with a package model and a referral program we’d never considered before. It’s not magic, and it won’t do the work for you…but it definitely helps you think differently.
