Systems Thinking: How to understand the deeper reality of the world around us
Growth Mindset Psychology: The Science of Self-Improvement
Why Hierarchies Stabilize Complexity
Paul asks why systems don't collapse and explains hierarchical organization using the watchmakers fable and biological levels.
Most problems in the world aren't random accidents, they're built into the systems we live in. When we look closer we find systems all around us drive the currents that change the world.
Systems Thinking is a key idea in science, politics and business, but it knows no boundaries as systems show up everywhere.
In every era of humanity we created new systems in politics, law, technology and economics to deal with the problems of the day. As new challenges arise in the 21st century, from the future of AI to global politics, it is up to humanity to build new systems to overcome them.
Systems thinking invites us to discover the threads that bind our actions, cultures, and destinies into unexpected tapestries:
- Stop firefighting and get to the root cause.
- Search for leverage points where small acts create outsized impact.
- Reframe crisis from an isolated disaster to an interconnected opportunity.
