review 1: A recommended reading to every modern man. Life is short, intelligence is limited, help yourself to be more effective at problem solving by understanding how problem solving works.First you need to develop habits that help you create high quality causal knowledge. Next you need to describe the problem in a way that you can make use of your knowledge. Last, you need to be able to evaluate your solution without biases.Easy to read, makes sense, appreciated. I wish I learned this in school.
review 2: For a book about 'smart thinking', the author is not so smart in presenting his case. With outrageous examples that can confound a simple man to oblivion, this is not a book recommended for people like me who is genuinely interested to know how can one make a serious ... moreeffort in thinking smart.Take his examples in dealing with analogies, of all the things that he can use as a base for an analogy, he settles for proverbs. And it's not a simple thinking of what the underlying meaning in a proverb but its relationship with whatever your current situation. That would have been ok if he did not suggested that the reader should memorize a bunch of proverbs and find a distinct link between the memorized proverb and the current situation to promote 'smart-thinking'. I don't know about you, but if you make something too complicated when a simple analysis will do, then clearly, one is not doing the smart thing. less
