davidherron 's review for:
Thinking in Systems: A Primer
by Donella H. Meadows
Very helpful intro to the topic.
Concise and clear, this book gave me new language to think about work, society, my own behavior, politics, etc.
New ways to think about why things behave the way they do and how we might change or improve them.
I wished there were more in-depth examples shared throughout of how systems thinking might be operationalized in a work or personal setting. But maybe that’s a whole ‘nother book
I also found some of the author’s own political opinions to be so firm & strident that they seemed to contradict her own belief in the complexity and nuance of systems themselves.
