I enjoyed learning that Complexity has a precise definition. The applications covered here ranged from all levels of biology and sociology and economics.

One of my favourite Great Courses. There's lots in here that's both practical and explanatory. I think tipping points are crucial to understand in many different areas of life, and diversity isn't just about ethics, it's logistically best practice in a complex system.

Second time through, still good. I realised that I first listened to this in December 2019 and he talks a bit about global pandemics.

This is one of my favorite books I have read so far this year. It is very interesting and makes me wish I had gotten interested in statistics earlier in my life.

Simple examples and explanations of a super complex topic. Fascinating.

While it does not go deep into the subject, this is an excellent and thoroughly accessible introduction to the science of complexity. Scott Page is a talented and articulate lecturer who makes the subject into a compelling narrative. Highly recommended if you're looking for an audio-based introduction.

Full of great metaphors and intriguing examples.
