Psychology

The study of the mind and behavior, treated in Kyle’s wiki as one of the core disciplines in Charlie Munger’s latticework of mental models. In Charlie Munger — A Lesson on Elementary Worldly Wisdom, Munger holds that thinking improves when knowledge is arrayed on a set of models drawn from multiple disciplines — and that psychology supplies some of the most important and most often-ignored of those models.
