Edit: no relation (I believe?) to Gabriel Weinberg of Duck Duck Go who is also being mentioned in this discussion.
- pjmorris 7y ago+1 for this. Arguably all of Weinberg's works teach mental models. 'Are Your Lights On?' is an easy introduction to his writing and thinking, and 'Exploring Requirements: Quality Before Design' is directly applicable to any software project involving collection of requirements (I thin that's all of them.)
- neves 7y agoWeinberg books are full of wisdom. Systems Thinking is at the core of his ideas. You can find almost all of his books in LeanPub at a very accessible price: https://leanpub.com/u/jerryweinberg https://leanpub.com/u/jerryweinberg If you are outside the USA, probably the kindle edition will be cheaper.
- ncphillips 7y agoI enjoyed this book a lot but Thinking in Systems by Donella Meadows is definitely a better introduction to systems thinking
