Sankara reviewed The Goal by Eliyahu M. Goldratt
Review of 'The Goal' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Just want to say it was a gripping read. A rare thing to say about a business/management book. I’m almost never interested in the facts spitted out in most books - even science books. Tell me how you arrived at that.
Of all the things I could learn from this book, I learnt for the first time in my life the periodic nature of the periodic table. It clicked because the author was inquisitive - “how do we find order from seemingly random things?” And the quest for “intrinsic order”.
The dialog/conversational way of delivering a concept - the Socratic way - is long and winding for some people but information sticks. Precisely because the information isn’t provided in a platter. Allegories and analogies when done right helps you understand a concept quite well and I think this book did it quite well.
