Nice short read. Concise and informative

This was a good read. I plan to order a hard copy too for reference because I learned some new things that I’ll apply to my professional life and personal life. It wasn’t an exhaustive explanation of analytical thinking but it was very concise and informative. Just what I needed. Thank you

Kept pausing

It is a very informative book May need to be re-recorded. Pause through most of the chapter, especially throughout the transition of chapters which made it difficult to listen.

A quick but worthy read

The author does a good job at presenting influential figures from the realm of systems thinking. He also manages to add some practical advice into each chapter.

Needs website which is currently down.

A great tool. This definitely isn't a book you can just listen to while working or driving. Also, some items are easier to grasp with access to the diagrams that should be (but aren't) available in the website.

A lot of perks here!

There are a lot of perks in this book. if you do understand the words used I do actually analytical thinking to comprehended the book. Sometimes, is difficult to follow do verbiage used. probably it's a good idea to follow what is said with the webpage especially when they talk about statistical analysis.

Pretty slow and boring.....

Book is very slow and fact based, still an interesting read but hard to listen and focus on long periods of the book. Still great information though!
