Hi,
I hope all is progressing well.
Beyond the 80/20 Principle by Richard Koch is like a self-help type book paralleling myriads of laws and principles ([particularly branching of power laws] between varying sciences) with aspects of business connecting concepts through practical guidance toward well-rounding oneto be more sound of economy (respecting all definitions of the term economy, to a degree). When perusing an Internom, I decide to buy then read the book due to my initial branching curiosity of contexts in relation to the title of The 80/20 Principle by Richard Koch, especially considering both texts are next to each other on the bookshelf, I figure the books may be complementary to each other and supplementary to contexts of the 80/20 Principle (at large) and further wonder: what might be beyond the 80/20 Principle? When reading the text, I feel a different maturity, somewhat of a reverence, as though the author is presenting valuable resources after experiencing God like Saul then walking with God through all of the stages Dante Alighieri so vividly describes in The Divine Comedy upon returning to humanity directly. A text of the sort feels like a part of a learner's paradise. The text is full of references (and is a reference as well). Even so, I find the following texts may prove valuable with further deliberating contexts of concepts within Beyond the 80/20 Principle by Richard Koch: Flip Thinking: The Life-Changing Art of Turning Problems into Opportunities by Berthold Gunster, Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ by Daniel Goleman, Working with Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman, The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change by Stephen R. Covey, Why Good Sex Matters: Understanding the Neuroscience of Pleasure for a Smarter, Happier, and More Purpose-Filled Life by Dr. Nan Wise, PhD, How to Win Friends & Influence People by Dale Carnegie, It Didn't Start with You: How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are and How to End the Cycle by Mark Wolynn, The Love Prescription: Seven Days to More Intimacy, Connection, and Joy by Dr. John Gottman, PhD, and Dr. Julie Schwartz Gottman, PhD, Outliers: The Story of Success by Malcolm Gladwell, Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams by Dr. Matthew Walker, PhD, Becoming Supernatural: How Common People Are Doing the Uncommon by Dr. Joe Dispenza, The MindBody Code: How to Change the Beliefs That Limit Your Health, Longevity, and Success by Dr. Mario Martinez, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus: The Classic Guide to Understanding the Opposite Sex by Dr. John Gray, PhD, Finding the Mother Tree: Discovering the Wisdom of the Forest by Suzanne Simard, The Personal MBA (10th Anniversary Edition) by Josh Kaufman, Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey, The Evolution of Labor Relations in Japan: Heavy Industry 1853—1955 by Andrew Gordon, The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity by David Graeber and David Wengrow, Sam Walton: Made in America by Sam Walton, Quit: The Power of Knowing When to Walk Away by Annie Duke, The Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan, Women & Leadership by Julia Gillard & Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead by Sheryl Sandberg (with Nell Scovell), Will by Will Smith and Mark Manson, What to Expect When You're Expecting by Heidi Murkoff, Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado Perez, and Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress by Steven Pinker.

The author combines biology, physics and no linear laws to weave a cohesive story that can be used by the business leaders. Phenomenal research and well written.
