系统学是一门非常美妙的学问。当我们从一个系统的角度来观察,我们不仅可以看到各个零部件本身,也可以看到他们的相互影响,以至于整个系统总体的运作。同样的,我们生活中也充满了各种系统。比如 Jack Raines 之前一直在旅行中,为了保证电子报的按期更新,他有一套自己的写作系统;为了读更多的书,Hannah Rose 建议我们自己的阅读系统,比如安排固定时间,随身携带一本书等等。当我们用热力系统的角度来观察我们的效率,那么我们就不太会再苛责自己了,毕竟一般引擎的效率只有35%,我们的生产力也不可能达到100%的效率。
系统学的入门读物里,Thinking in Systems 是一本非常易懂的书,非常推荐。
