"It is a very important and interesting book. The chaos theory could be applied to any aspect of our life, psychology, ecology, sociology and mathematics. The ideas of cause and effect, the "butterfly effect", the synchronicity and coincidences, the unpredictability of our actions, the birth of Universe and modern mathematics - they are all part of the chaos theory. When strict rules don't apply, the creativity is the answer. What's more important - the competition and control or going with the flow, the ambitions to achieve or let the creative process to take its own power? The book gives a lot of insights into how we can change our everyday life but accepting its chaotic behaviour and to become aware of the chaos as a positive development. The idea of loops of events inside the loops, the fractal theory - they are a little complicated, but my favourite part was on how art created through chaos, how organizations evolve or stagnate based on their acceptance of the chaos and creativity and how we can look at the everyday life and see the beauty of its chaos as well."
"This was a nice introduction to chaos theory. Though I have heard most of this before, I found this little book inspiring.
The main dictums that I took away from this book were: 1) to pay close attention to what is going on in one's experience and 2) using the perceptions thus acquired, act in accord with what one believes is right. You may not see it, but if you act in this way you will have a positive effect on other people and the world.
In the light of chaos theory, the famous Margaret Mead quote gains new power: "Never doubt that a small group of people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.""
