When Problems Keep Coming Back
Have you ever noticed how some problems in your life refuse to stay solved? You patch up a recurring argument with your spouse, only to find yourself in the same fight three weeks later. Your company launches a new initiative to boost morale, but within months, everyone's back to their old complaints. You finally organize your cluttered home, yet somehow the chaos creeps back in. Here's the uncomfortable truth: these problems persist not because you're failing, but because you're solving the wrong thing. You're treating symptoms while the disease thrives beneath the surface. Systems thinking offers a radically different approach-one that reveals the hidden patterns and relationships actually driving these outcomes. Instead of asking "What went wrong?" it asks "What interconnections created this result?" This shift in perspective has transformed how leaders from Ray Dalio to environmental scientists approach complex challenges, and it can fundamentally change how you navigate your own life. Your life isn't a collection of separate boxes-work here, relationships there, health somewhere else. It's an intricate web where everything touches everything else. When you stay up late scrolling through social media, you're not just losing sleep; you're triggering a cascade that affects hormone regulation, food cravings, energy levels, relationships, and stress-bringing you back to your phone again.
