The Theory of Constraints (TOC) has been successfully applied in almost every area of human endeavor, from industry to healthcare to education. And while Eli Goldratt is indeed a scientist, an educator and a business leader, he is first and foremost a philosopher; some say a genius. He is a thinker who provokes others to do the same. Often characterized as unconventional, and always stimulating a slayer of sacred cows Dr. Goldratt exhorts his readers to examine and reassess their lives and business practices by cultivating a different perspective and a clear new vision. In his latest book, The Choice, Goldratt once again presents his thought provoking approach, this time through a conversation with his daughter Efrat, as he explains to her his fundamental system of beliefs.

However, since the purpose of the book is life advice I'll still give it the highest score. I appreciate the simplicity arguments and Socratic discussion method.
The notes section at the end ties it up pretty well and summarizes the more important parts and turn them into achievable take-home-messages.
As a PhD in physics myself, my favorite part was the discussions on simplicity and how we tend to look for complicated solutions to complicated problems.
Simply, good

It is a short and simple philosophy of life book.
Highly recommended for any person who would like to be able to solve seemingly complex problems.
Also, I would like to provide some insight for those unfamiliar with Hebrew. This book was either translated from Hebrew and not in a perfect way or may have been written in English by a Hebrew native. The example that repeats hundreds of times is that the person telling the story, Efrat, calls her father just "Father," not "my father" or some other common English term. The reason is that in Hebrew, you commonly call your parents "ABBA" (Father) or "IMMA" (Mother) without the need to distinguish it as "my father." One more example is that at some point, Goldratt is going abroad to his office in the Netherlands. In Hebrew, the Netherlands is called "HOLLAND," which is precisely the name used in the book (of course, Holland is a region in the Netherlands, but what they referred to in the book was the whole country).
For me, those mistakes just made the book more authentic.
