Solve the Real Problem
99% of the time what we THINK is our problem is actually NOT the problem.We've all been there. You thought you solved a tough problem, and then it's back again. Or you've worked and reworked your solution and you're hitting dead ends. Why? We have been taught to find answers to problems, not to question the problem itself. We are still using the same strategies we learned in elementary school to solve complex, non-routine, difficult and potentially dangerous problems. However, research has shown that investing even 5 minutes redefining a problem produces more original and higher quality solutions than those developed without problem clarification. Using examples from business, medicine, education, agriculture, manufacturing and more, Roger Firestien introduces the simplest of methods to uncover the correct problems to solve. That method? Questions. But not just any type of questions - creative questions. Don't waste your time solving the wrong problem.Can you afford to spend 5 minutes to find the real problem? Can you afford not to?

Why Didn't I Think of That?
Critical thinking, proactive decision-making, and dynamic creativity are thinking skills essential to success in our professional and personal endeavors. Few of us, however, know how to maximize these skills at critical moments. In Why Didn't I Think of That? Charles McCoy, who honed his critical thinking techniques on the bench of the Los Angeles Superior Court, shows you how to sharpen your left-brain power -- observation, accuracy, and analysis -- to achieve optimum results. McCoy creatively entertains as he teaches, offering insight gained from prominent cases over which he has presided. He draws examples from catastrophic events (Exxon Valdez oil spill, Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster), real business problems encountered by major corporations and government agencies (Pepsi, Citibank, the U.S. Marines, NASA), the civil rights struggles of Dr. Martin Luther King, as well as fictional events (The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and It's a Wonderful Life).
