Systems Thinking

Systems thinking requires us to break free from the limitations of "linear causality" and see the complex, dynamic "nourishing or withering cycles" between things. In personal growth, this means stopping piecemeal "fixes" (such as only focusing on "procrastination"), and instead examining the entire life system that leads to that behavior—including your information input, blog patterns, energy state, and inner narrative.

By applying systems thinking, we can identify "Transformation Points" that can "move the whole body with one hair," thereby achieving maximum, most lasting vitality with minimal effort.
