A difficult book to rate. The good: it has opened my eyes somewhat to a new way of looking at the world. I feel like I have a few new tools in my mental toolbox.

The less good: while I found the subject matter interesting, frankly it was a bit of a slog to get through. I also don't feel I have been given a thorough grinding in the subject. I genuinely can't tell you if the field is one of intellectual rigour and theory, or just an at times useful tool for adjusting one's perspective.

An excellent primer on systems thinking. A completely different perspective of how to view the world, in terms of interconnected components and patterns of behaviour.

Excellent introduction to system thinking. To the point, yet easy to understand.
