Reading this book is a struggle. Working with it over an extended period is a struggle. Both are worth it.

If you're already aware of and ready to learn more of systems thinking and system dynamics, then this is a classic. But this is no pageturner. It requires hard thinking.

Get through it and it will change how you view the world around you.

More later.
