Brynteson, Richard. Once Upon a Complex Time: Using Stories to Understand Systems. Farmington, MN: Sparrow Media Group, 2006.
"...Books about systems thinking have generally followed a pattern of moving from general principles to specific examples. In Richard Brynteson's new book, Once Upon a Complex Time: Using Stories to Understand Systems, he takes a unique perspective. He reverses this traditional methodology by using stories to illuminate complex systems theory.
...Richard Brynteson's systems stories invite the reader to examine ourselves and actions, to understand the complexities of life and to begin to use a wide-angle lens when viewing the world. Once Upon a Complex Time challenges the reader to look at organizations--and life--in a whole new way."
