Thinking in Bottlenecks: The Engineering Mindset for Solving Anything Faster - A Systems Engineering Approach to Speed, Flow, and Breakthrough Solutions in Work and Life #897825

What if your biggest obstacle isn't effort, but flow?
In Thinking in Bottlenecks, engineer and productivity strategist Mohammed Hamed Ahmed Soliman reveals how the hidden constraints around you—and inside you—are the true culprits behind slow results, wasted effort, and stalled progress.
Inspired by the legendary Theory of Constraints, this book blends systems engineering, Lean thinking, and real-world experience into a practical mindset for solving anything faster.
You'll discover:
✅ How to identify the bottleneck that limits your output—whether it's physical, digital, mental, or emotional
✅ Why working harder often backfires, and how to work smarter through flow
✅ A powerful 5-step method to break bottlenecks anywhere: in teams, startups, hospitals, careers—even personal life
✅ The science behind queueing theory, throughput accounting, and constraint-based thinking
✅ Tools to overcome hidden blocks: bureaucracy, cognitive overload, cultural resistance, and more
✅ Why flow—not productivity—is the real goal
From engineers to educators, startup founders to overwhelmed parents, Thinking in Bottlenecks offers a fresh way to see your world: not as a pile of problems, but as a system waiting to be unblocked.
? For readers of The Goal, Atomic Habits, and Deep Work who want a more engineering-driven path to progress.
