For example, whenever somebody doesn't understand something I'm saying, or when somebody can't make himself understood, visualizing this helps me explain the pbm and find solutions.
I worked in education, and this is one of the cores mental frameworks that is *not* consistently applied in that field.

Financial benefits --> Not direct, but if you know this you can be much better in your communication, which is a huge benefit for career progress.
Tomas, When you mentioned "mental model" it brought to mind one I use often when trying to decide between two options. I call it the "greater desire" method. I imagine owning or being in scenario "A" in all it's glory. Then I consider scenario "B" and try to quantify my preference for "B" over my current ownership of "A". Then I reverse to owning or being in scenario "B" and my desire for "A". I may do a couple iterations to filter out nonsense. By comparing the relative strength of the desire for the "other" scenario, I am often able to come to a decision. I use this method and the "greater regret" method/model often. Love your stuff.
Makes sense. I'm a high school teacher so this is a good mental model for teaching and becoming a better writer myself. I want to work on my writing and communication for financial and other reasons. Thanks a lot for the response!
I use this mental model all the time!

I love it. It speaks directly to opportunity cost and the endowment effect, but I had never heard it explained this way. Thx!
Really useful insight, thank you.
