Clear Thinking
v1.0.0Shane Parrish's Clear Thinking — a decision-making and mental models toolkit teaching how to overcome the four cognitive defaults (emotion, ego, social, inertia), build strength through self-accountability, and turn ordinary moments into extraordinary results through better judgments. Covers 6 use cases: ① Understanding the four cognitive defaults — ("emotion default" "ego default" "social default" "inertia default" "cognitive biases") ② Building self-accountability — ("self-accountability" "taking responsibility" "owning decisions" "personal agency") ③ Managing weaknesses — ("knowing your weaknesses" "safeguards" "preventing mistakes" "decision safeguards") ④ Making better decisions — ("decision making framework" "how to decide" "problem solving" "evaluating options") ⑤ Mental models for clear thinking — ("mental models" "Farnam Street" "thinking tools" "Parrish thinking") ⑥ Aligning decisions with values — ("what matters" "wanting what matters" "values and decisions" "life goals") Trigger when users say: "clear thinking" "Shane Parrish" "Farnam Street" "mental models" "decision making" "cognitive defaults" "emotion default" "ego default" "self-accountability" or mention: Parrish / Clear Thinking / Farnam Street / mental models / decision making / cognitive biases / emotion default / ego / thinking / judgment.
