Thinking in Systems: A Primer by Donella H. Meadows
5.0

Undoubtedly, Dr. Meadows was a genius and we have lost an important thinker much too soon. (She died in 2001 at only 60.) This book is about how to think, and it is a profound analysis of big picture thinking. She is a clear writer, and it's obvious the book could easily have been twice as long. It might have helped even to get some of the ideas to sink in better. If you like to think, or think that thinking might actually be important, this book in mandatory. I have not run across another book like it, it breadth and insight. Utterly profound on a multitude of levels. Deserves to be read thrice, especially by people in leadership.
