About the book

The Four-Dimensional Universal Model is about systems themselves. This book is not about systems, but about how people make judgments inside them.

It is made of stand-alone cases: everyday scenes (an aeroplane seat, a parking spot, a resignation letter) and historical moments (the border checkpoint on 9 November 1989, the Titanic's speed, Lehman Brothers' last 48 hours, the Cuban Missile Crisis). Each case records what happened — it does not say what was right or what you should do.

You do not need to read it from start to finish. Open any page, read one case, and put it down.

If one day, just before a decision, you pause for one extra second — noticing what is pushing you and what is holding you back — that second is the reason this book exists.

Key points
