Outstanding intellectual journey of science, history and philosophy to develop the systems view of life. While the book is categorized as science oriented given the authors' physics background, the Systems Thinker is so much more than science. The underlying theories apply to all aspects of human activity such as law, economics, society, government etc. The essence of the book is the disconnect between the non-linear processes based on relationships, forms, feedback loops and our linear models that stem from a conventional, cause-effect world view. This gap in thinking and reality explains why humanity faces so many ecological and social problems. The book starts by providing the development from Newtonian mechanistic thinking to an evolving holistic approach and how that transition occurred. It tackles more scientific fields as physics, biology, chemistry, even sociology where changes in focus have been made. He explains how thinking shifted from analyzing small particles to looking things as a whole. We live in a time where all current systems of human thought from physics to politics are dominated by a set of underlying assumptions, that are mostly outdated and no longer work in a very different world that is more interdependent and connected than ever before in human history. Even if you don't have a science background the authors present the material in a coherent way. This is a must read if you are interested in complexity and systems theory or if you are looking at issues of sustainability. Review: Think Differently - This quick read provides a very good overview of systems thinking. It helps one get familiar with the vocabulary and model types that are necessary for building a good foundation of knowledge. It’s a great jumping off point and I found myself constantly highlighting passages and ideas to come back to. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CJL27YZ8 | | Best Sellers Rank | #126,436 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #9 in System Theory #118 in Strategic Business Planning #171 in Systems & Planning | | Book 1 of 7 | The Systems Thinker Series | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (460) | | Dimensions | 5 x 0.58 x 8 inches | | ISBN-13 | 979-8862300413 | | Item Weight | 8.8 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 254 pages | | Publication date | September 23, 2023 | | Publisher | Independently published | ## Images ![- The Systems Thinker: Essential Thinking Skills For Solving Problems, Managing Chaos, and Creating Lasting Solutions in a Complex World (The Systems Thinker Series) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61f7XIO8BkL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent... *by P***S on September 26, 2018* This is by far, the most comprehensive book that I have ever read on Systems Thinking.

It helps one get familiar with the vocabulary and model types that are necessary for building a good foundation of knowledge. It’s a great jumping off point and I found myself constantly highlighting passages and ideas to come back to. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing book! *by S***S on March 1, 2023* This book helped me to learn and understand concepts and ideas that I was oblivious to. The Systems Thinker is a must have for anyone who wants to start learning to think and reason in an effective and successful way. I enjoyed this book greatly, and would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn about logical thinking. One does need to have a beginners understanding to some fundamental concepts, but otherwise the book is great for 14 years up. The book is also easy to read and understand.
