From chapter 1, 5 h 50 min
Find out why things really happen, at work and in life. Tell a cause from a coincidence, test a cause fairly, dig past symptoms to root causes, solve problems like a detective, see the feedback loops in a system, and ask 'and then what?' before you act. Every module is practice with everyday cases: shops, freelance work, study, phones and family plans.
Read the course: the same chapters with diagrams, labs and quizzes.
