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.

ok for starting.

ok if you've never done this kind of thinking before. if you are in a field that requires this kind of thinking this is just a refresher...

I enjoyed this information

I have learned a lot of useful information of analytical thinking and methods that will help me excel in life.

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.

so so

you could sum this book up with "think with facts and proven numbers, take emotion out of the equation"

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!

Unusable content and boring presentation

This is like auditing a college class on analytical thinking with some grad student who has read books and papers, but who has no practical experience. Just very forgettable jargon and theory.

Read Donna Meadows instead.
