Publisher's summary

Do you want to understand the roles of thinking in systems and how they affect, hinder, or aid in fulfilling your life? Are you ready to improve your reasoning and develop your full potential through critical and analytical thinking?

This audiobook includes:

  • Thinking in Systems and Mental Models
  • Critical Thinking and Analytical Mind

Without a broad view of interconnectedness, our problem-solving skills are limited and short-sighted, and our abilities to make long-term, beneficial decisions are hampered. If we don’t acknowledge our interdependence's complexity, then we are doomed to replicate a system that will ultimately fail.

Here’s what you’ll learn from this audiobook:

  • The key concepts of systems thinking and what are its benefits when applied in everyday life
  • What is wrong with your current way of thinking, and how you can improve it to make better decisions
  • The role of chaos theory in systems thinking
  • Strategies for developing habits, mental toughness, and resilience to combat mental clutter
  • 40 mental models that you can use in your daily life
  • How to expand your set of mental models, create new ones, and use them effectively
  • The best techniques to develop your critical thinking abilities
  • The secrets used by successful people to make the right decisions
  • Strategies to improve your analytical and logical skills to achieve peak performance, tackle challenges, and solve problems
  • How critical and analytical thinking applies in the professional world to create a successful career

And so much more!

Systems thinking provides a framework for defining and solving problems. You will understand that you can more readily control all parts of your life and better adapt to any issues or difficulties that life tosses at you.

I understood what was wrong

The best thing this book could do for me was to open my eyes and my mind to realize once and for all, what was wrong with my current way of thinking, so I could identify many of the mistakes and reform my way of thinking

Knowing the thought systems

Before listening to this audiobook I had not heard about the systems of thoughts, and now I have to say that since I know them I have been very interested in them, because I think they are systems perfectly applicable to everyday life, which I find incredible to improve in many aspects of our lives.

Extremely dry

I struggled to finish this. it is read extremely dry. A good AI would probably have read it with more feeling. This is unfortunate because books on systems theory are rare and the contents of this book seem good.
