Nice idea, but I found many of the explanations too shallow. I'd rather have half the number of models, with a more thorough explanation of each.

I will be back.
I leafed diagonally and I love it. But reading is just starting.
Till later

Pretty light on; but arguably provided a model to avoid having read this book in the first place in an alternate timeline.

A quite interesting and enjoyable book.

I read through all of it in one sitting, taking note of models that resonated with me or are directly useable in my current situation.

Features well-known ones (like the Pareto Principle) and lesser-known ones (my favourite became the "Making-Of Model" which sheds a different light on how we should envision our future).

I will probably return to it, looking for models for a newly encountered problem or to look things up in the sources.

One downside I can think of is how there are models which are mentioned, but do not seem to be translatable or usable for life. Those times I only had a question mark in my head instead of the "a-ha" or "makes sense" that accompanied most others.
