review 1: This book is about how to solve problems in our daily lives. The contents are quite simple, short, and well presented. You'll find this book interesting because we always face problems everyday and we have to overcome them. After reading it, you'll think that you are already using the methods presented in the book. But, you may be using them unconsciously and in unstructured ways. This book explains these problem solving methods with three interesting case studies. In each case study, you'll find several methods or tools used to solve the problems. These tools formalize your ways of solving problems, so that you can solve problems in more structured ways and produce good solutions.
review 2: My father asked me years ago to obtain a copy of this book once it was... more translated from the original Japanese. Although written for middle-schoolers, the book was tremendously successful in Japan among members of the business community.I can see why. It is almost like an abridged version of an MBA! I loved this book and feel it should be required reading in every school. The author does what most business authors avoid; he simplifies complicated lessons for all to understand. Sure, it generalizes quite a bit, but the idea is to familiarize the readers with the theoretical and academic aspects of problem-solving.Yet it is not about business, but about how to navigate through life's challenges successfully.Don't miss it! less
