Gregory Bateson: Steps to an Ecology of Mind (2000) 4 stars

Steps to an Ecology of Mind is a collection of Gregory Bateson's short works over …

Welp, finally done. ereader told me it took me like 40 days to read, which is surprising. I think it's a brilliant book filled with a lot of different insights when it comes to cybernetic/systemic/ecological thinking.

The main problem I had with the book was that some of it was a serious slog. Like there was so much redundancy in certain parts (3 and 4 specifically), that made it really hard to get through/want to read sometimes.

I am very glad that I did though. At some point in the future I want to read his "Mind and Nature" which is a later work that's shorter and probably more streamlined.
