Publisher Description
Systems thinking can help us solve everyday and wicked problems, increase our personal effectiveness as human beings, and transform our organizations. This book is for anyone interested in learning the foundational ideas of systems thinking. SIMPLE RULES OF SYSTEMS THINKING Systems Thinking Made Simple doesn't mean that we're going to oversimplify it like a ... for Dummies book. It means that we will show how systems thinking emerges when we focus on a simple set of rules. After years of searching for unifying principles, many experts and practitioners in the field of systems thinking have embraced DSRP as universal to all systems thinking methods. Originally a complex mathematical formulation, DSRP has since been made more accessible through powerful modeling and visualization tools. There are two surprising things about our new understanding of systems thinking. First is how simple the four rules are: DISTINCTIONS RULE: Any idea or thing can be distinguished from the other ideas or things it is with SYSTEMS RULE: Any idea or thing can be split into parts or lumped into a whole RELATIONSHIP RULE: Any idea or thing can relate to other things or ideas PERSPECTIVES RULE: Any thing or idea can be the point or the view of a perspective

Bad Interface setup
I can’t select text properly on the iOS version. When I try to select the sentence, I can only select an entire paragraph or a completely different sentence from the one I want. This is absolutely frustrating because I need this book for my class and I have already purchased this book.
The content is good but the iPad version of this book is not set up well at all, having the text highlight problem along with the lack of navigable sections that I could use in the iBooks table of contents menu.
epub file
The way the publisher submitted the epub file is horrible. It does not allow the book to be highlighted or searched. This is the first time I have had this problem with an iBook. I purchased this so I could search and highlight the book electronically. While the content is good, the format makes it unusable. This should be removed from the store until it is epub compatible. Do not waste your money on this until it is corrected.
