In the years following her role as the lead author of the international bestseller, "Limits to Growth"athe first book to show the consequences of unchecked growth on a finite planeta Donella Meadows remained a pioneer of environmental and social analysis until her untimely death in 2001.Meadowsa newly released manuscript, "Thinking in Systems," is a concise and crucial book offering insight for problem solving on scales ranging from the personal to the global. Edited by the Sustainability Instituteas Diana Wright, this essential primer brings systems thinking out of the realm of computers and equations and into the tangible world, showing readers how to develop the systems-thinking skills that thought leaders across the globe consider critical for 21st-century life.Some of the biggest problems facing the worldawar, hunger, poverty, and environmental degradationaare essentially system failures. They cannot be solved by fixing one piece in isolation from the others, because even seemingly minor details have enormous power to undermine the best efforts of too-narrow thinking.While readers will learn the conceptual tools and methods of systems thinking, the heart of the book is grander than methodology. Donella Meadows was known as much for nurturing positive outcomes as she was for delving into the science behind global dilemmas. She reminds readers to pay attention to what is important, not just what is quantifiable, to stay humble, and to stay a learner.In a world growing ever more complicated, crowded, and interdependent, "Thinking in Systems" helps readers avoid confusion and helplessness, the first step toward finding proactive and effective solutions.
Process determines result. Everything plays a role in a system, impacted and impacting other components. To fix the process is to fix the problem from the root.

原版比中文译本好读太多了……以各种分类举例列举了各种系统的特征，可能出现的问题和改进方式~都是很日常的例子，但上升到理论还是会眼前一亮

一大堆概念和道理, 听起来都对但也好像什么都没懂. 例子给的非常多但是简单, 而且零散.

1、如果出现以下症状，你可以判断，这个问题不是线性问题，而是系统问题：看似是个小问题，但是要解决它却要耗费许多资源；多次试图解决一个问题，却总是无效；问题本来应该容易解决，可是人们故意不解决；公司上下似乎有个情感障碍，对这个问题避而不谈；新人来了就发现问题，老人一笑了之；类似的问题一再发生，整改了也没用……2、要想改变一个系统，可以有上中下三种政策 —— 下策是直接命令。想要什么就直接要，反对什么... 1、如果出现以下症状，你可以判断，这个问题不是线性问题，而是系统问题：看似是个小问题，但是要解决它却要耗费许多资源；多次试图解决一个问题，却总是无效；问题本来应该容易解决，可是人们故意不解决；公司上下似乎有个情感障碍，对这个问题避而不谈；新人来了就发现问题，老人一笑了之；类似的问题一再发生，整改了也没用……2、要想改变一个系统，可以有上中下三种政策 —— 下策是直接命令。想要什么就直接要，反对什么就直接禁止。中策是间接刺激。找到系统中的一个平衡反馈回路，让回路松弛一下。上策是寻求一个新的共识。在这个新的共识上，把全社会团结起来去做一件事。3、好的系统应该有三个特点：它要有抗打击能力；它要有自组织能力；它应该有一个健康的层级结构。 (展开)

[B] 蛮不错的思考默模式， 但是可能是听书感觉没有太多新意， 唯一的TAKE HOME MESSAGE 是比较倾向于用LINEAR REGRESSION 来思考， 这个点蛮有趣的。 关于模型， 收集的越多越好， 像荣格说的，把每个模型都拿来套用，如果都没有FAIL 说明这个事情还是靠谱的。 另外听的时候一直在像这个模型怎么应用在CODING， 无果， 先存下，只能说不是适合现在读的书 。
