The Art of Systems Thinking : Essential Skills for Creativity and Problem Solving
When "System Thinking" is no more mere theories or surface understanding, but an ART, something in your "hand", in your mind, in your own creation, .. that is the power you feel
In ancient China, there were martial arts of great prominence. We read stories of followers of with great perseverance, went deep into the mountain to learn the "secret formula" of the martial arts. It is with the similar feeling, when I read "The Art of Systems Thinking : Essential Skills for Creativity and Problem Solving" by Joseph O'Connor, Ian McDermott.
If martial arts is for self defence, "The Art of System Thinking" is for living, a very basic skill ("secret formula") to understand and comprehend this complex world in which we are a part. And from this profound understanding, we derive inspiration and energy to move forward, creating an influence hopefully in the direction of our Vision, while we are constantly being influenced by other forces.
