The world isn't going to fit perfectly into mental models, it's much more complex, variable, and random. "The Bed of Procrustes" comes to mind: The mythical innkeeper that wanted his guests to fit perfectly into their bed, so he would either stretch the guests or chop off limbs to make them fit.
IMO the maps don't always match the terrain, but the maps are worth studying.
I'm going to buy the book as I found Traction super useful, and I'd like to see their take on popular mental models. But I'm keeping in mind the limits of models. (I like a good dose of Nassim Nicholas Taleb for this)
