+# Review of Thinking In Systems: A Primer

+Once you adjust your view of the world away from events and towards systems, it changes nearly everything. This book can help you start that journey, reinforce your transition, or confirm many of your suspicions depending on where you are personally at. Donella Meadows makes big ideas like feedback loops, delays, incentives, and unintended consequences feel practical and usable. The book highlights patterns that you may have experiencing or navigating your entire life and connects it back to the science and study of systems. It undscores that the biggest problems are rarely isolated incidents, but rather expressions of deeper system design (either intentional or unintentional).
+
+Listening to it as an audiobook over many weeks of commuting was very fitting. This is a book that rewards slow absorption, the kind where ideas settle in gradually and start showing up in how you think rather than just what you remember. There is something especially resonant about carrying Meadows’ perspective with you on the way into the office or back home for the evening. The rhythm connects naturally to the rest of your life too, like trail running and endurance training for me or my work in Green Software. The book argues for patience, stewardship, and thoughtful intervention where it matters most to make the biggest impact and shift the system.
