Last year I started reading about mental models and a few that really stuck with me were:
1. Hanlon's razor - we should not attribute to malice that which is more easily explained by stupidity.
2. Reversion to the Mean - after reading Thinking Fast and Slow, the part about reversion to the mean really made me think about how people view others in terms of how the behave day to day.
One other thing I tend to think about is that everyone is fighting their own battles, so try to be kind to others in how you interpret their choices and actions.
