Turn Tricky Problems

Into

Wise Decisions

You know you’ve got a problem when you’re stuck. You want to do something, but you don’t know what.

Some problems can be fixed; others demand more innovative treatment. But if being stuck is a sure sign you’re facing a problem, then the solution must be to take action. Deciding what to do is the key to success.

Drawing on cognitive science, problem-solving theory and practical experience, How to Solve Almost Any Problem offers a radical new method to help you break out of dead-end thinking and take your problem-solving skills to a higher level.

And, by looking at problems differently, you can make wise decisions about how to deal with them.

The solutions that emerge from this method are actions that are focused, workable and successful. Once you’ve read How to Solve Almost Any Problem, you’ll never be stuck for a solution again.

MARVEL at the miraculous Problem Matrix!

BANISH blame and resistance!

GASP at the wickedness of wicked problems!

TRANSFORM every headache into a dream!
