Books by Shane Parrish

Shane Parrish is the founder of Farnam Street, a blog and podcast focused on decision-making, mental models, and learning from the world's best thinkers. He began writing it while working in intelligence at the Communications Security Establishment in Canada, initially as a private repository for ideas. Farnam Street grew into one of the most-read sites on thinking and self-improvement, reaching millions of readers. Parrish has no academic background in philosophy or cognitive science; his work is that of a serious curator and synthesizer. The Great Mental Models series, which began in 2019, is the book-length version of the project he built online.
