The reader is then taken through the fundamentals of problem-solving, with a focus on defining and understanding problems using various clarification techniques and problem analysis tools. The book discusses decision-making models and how to navigate the murky waters of uncertainty and ambiguity using intuition and logic.
In a world where creativity is becoming increasingly valued, the book also introduces creative approaches to problem solving, teaching brainstorming and mind-mapping techniques, and encouraging the application of lateral thinking. These creative methods are balanced with sections on critical thinking, which emphasizes the importance of logic, reasoning, and overcoming cognitive biases.
