Are you stuck in a rut despite your best efforts to get out? Looking for long-term solutions to your problems?



We have the best of intentions to improve our conditions, but often our solutions fall short of improving our lives. Sometimes our best efforts can result in the opposite of what we want over time. How can we avoid these unwanted results?

If we apply conventional thinking to complex issues, we often maintain or increase the very problems we want to fix. There is, however, a solution to get the desired results.

Think in Systems is a concise information manual offering high-level problem-solving methods for personal and global issues. The book presents the main features of systems thinking in an understandable and everyday manner, helping you to develop this skill top analysts and world leaders use.

If you thought that complex thinking is only for people who deal with complex issues like running a company or country, think again. Every issue is complex. Running out of gas is a simple problem, but I'm sure you're dealing with much greater headaches on a daily basis.

Your life is a system. Everything that is connected to your system (life) is a part of it. However, you are just a subsystem in the larger picture. Your town, country, the world, the solar system are all bigger systems you are a part of. These systems are interconnected. Whatever you do will affect the system and whatever the system does will affect your life.

Systems can have positive and negative effect on your life - or on the life of people generally. The greatest problems like hunger, war, and poverty are all failures in the system. Similarly, fights with your loved ones, being stuck in a rut at your job are also system failures. They are not only your fault. Thus they can't be fixed with a simple cause-effect thinking.

Learn to use systems thinking in your business, relationships, friendships, and general political, socio-economic, and environmental issues.

Systems thinking boosts your critical thinking skills, makes you more logical, enhances your analytical abilities, and makes you more creative.

Systems thinking won't put extra pressure on your cognition. Quite the contrary, you'll have fewer headaches knowing that you surely didn't miss any detail when you tried to solve a problem.
