[Isaac Samuel Miller · Rating 4 out of 5]

Discusses basic concepts that are helpful.

I think this is a good book that presents age-old concepts in a technical way; however, the concepts are simple. I think the reader will enjoy this book as a refresher of how thinking works, if he or she already has a good background in philosophy and studying the mind.

Речь в книге о визуальных инструментах системного мышления. Это важный аспект, но не весь сисмыш. Если нужна обзорная книга в общем по сисмышу, то наверное вам не сюда. Здесь по сути схемы и диаграммы помогающие в системном мышлении

Good example and link to tools

Similar to other books in series, this content is clear and easy read, it's good to ref and learning.

Examples are very clear and step by step guide and help to use the tools such as casual loop, stock-and-flow diagram besides consider and evaluate the elements that added and affect to system.

My expectation in this book in details and more deeply about tools and ways to use better. It's reason 4 stars submit

[Sarah Drasner · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is at once a very useful book and also spends a lot of time on things it shouldn't. The intro is half the book. That said, when he gets to the tools, it's so valuable that I still recommend it 5 stars. I'll probably read it again.

Had Alexa read it to me

Good book. Had Alexa read it to me at 1.3x speed. Helpful for many different domains. Only downside is kind of short.
