Models & Frameworks on the Path to Awareness
“The 65 Maps of Worldly Wisdom” is a reference / guide to the most important (practical) frameworks on knowledge, planning, and work management. These are some of the models integrated in “The Atlas of Worldly Wisdom”.
The Big Idea
This is a book of maps.
An Atlas of sorts (fractal detected!).
“The 65 Maps of Worldly Wisdom” has a collection of models that are mentioned in “The Atlas of Worldly Wisdom”, along with a description of their uses and applications, and important references.
There are too many mental models… which are the most useful to know about, and why?
This is the purpose here.
“The 65 Maps” is a reference based on the different frameworks that are used as building blocks for the Awareness – Intent – Creativeness super-framework… which itself is the central model of “The Atlas of Worldly Wisdom”.
The “One Model to Rule them All!”.
The Atlas selects the most useful models, and integrates them into a memorable and useful formula.
The 65 Maps of Worldly Wisdom : An Application from The Atlas
For each of the models covered, this guide includes a visual representation, model description, use cases, definitions and relevant concepts, and the key references to read more if interested.
The models (maps) introduced in this book pave the road for a better understanding of the fields of knowledge (of the self and the world), planning (risk, vision, resources), and actions (discipline, creativeness, control).
“The 65 Maps of Worldly Wisdom” is a quick reference and a great (aware) starting point for a better learning plan.
Use it as:
- A dictionary / quick reference-guide for different terms, models, and frameworks under the topics of Knowledge, Planning, and work.
- An explorer’s guide to a wide range models and frameworks
- A summary (and bird’s eye view) of many of ideas on management and personal growth
- A revision tool for “The Atlas of Worldly Wisdom”

The 3 Guides of The Atlas of Worldly Wisdom
“The 10 Labors of Worldly Wisdom” , and “The 30 Doors of Worldly Wisdom”, are other guides connected to “The Atlas“.
Each of the 3 Guides encapsulates one of the components of the Awareness-Intent-Creativeness triple helix, and reflects it on the landscape of The Atlas.
Because the Atlas itself is a tool for integration, It always seeks to balance and optimize knowledge, plans, and actions… This is why there are three cross-referencing and self-referencing guides with different personalities.
