Beautifully written review of an obviously thought-provoking book. I will be reading this book soon. A few thoughts that may (or may not) be applicable to some of the concepts you describe from the book... The Daoist philosophers base their entire philosophy on the "system" called The Dao. Embodied symbolically in well-recognized the Yin/Yang symbol. That symbol is meant to demonstrate that the universe (the system of all things), when looked at holistically, is in perfect balance.

Not a book review at all, actually - I just referenced that one concept from it into the topic.
And cool observation - The Tao itself being a system. I hadn't exactly thought about it like that, but sure enough...
