"I *loved* this book. It isn't just for people interesting in Systems dynamics. This book will help you recognize the filters based on our perception and the biases that we are taught. You'll find yourself looking at the world in a different manner. No, it won't help you solve every mystery in the universe, but it will give you one more good tool for your backpack.
I typically don't make notes or bookmarks when I read, but I found myself doing that over and over with this book. I plan to read it again...maybe then I can provide a better review."
