Good Storytelling about a Mental Model Mistake

I am a big fan of Laurence Gonzales book Everyday Survival: Why Smart People Do Stupid Things, who was introduced to me by Bill Dettmer of Theory of Constraints fame and past podcast participant, Systematizing your approach to management, Podcast with Bill Dettmer.

I have also created several blog post from Laurence’s book, If Nothing Bad Happens, You Must Be Doing Something Right? and Bootstrapping Business Survival. Below is a video on a simple explanation of  Mental Model Mistakes done by Laurence. What I enjoy is the simplicity of his story and told so well that you can practically repeat after watching it once. Try it!
