A Book Every Problem Solver and Decision Maker Should Read

Stephen Covey observed the main problem we face often is not the problem itself but how we see it. Breakthrough Thinking, like Why Didn't I Think of That? - Think the Unthinkable, changes the way you approach problems by challenging your old perspectives and giving you new tools for obtaining deeper, clearer insights into problems and decisions at hand. This ia a book to place on the shelf where you keep your most prized works, the ones you reread over and over again.

Solve Problems More Effectively

I'd have to agree with the majority of other reviews here: this book is definitely a "reader and keeper." Yes, it is somewhat hard to get through; the writing style isn't easy, but it changed the way I thought about projects in my business. The seven principles have broad applicability in solving life's problems. I first read this book in 1991 and I've re-read it a couple of times since to refresh myself on the concepts.

Wow, this truly is breakthrough.

I had this book on my shelf since last August, but began reading just recently and I was stunned at the concepts displayed in this book. It truly is breakthrough thinking and has caused me to change the way I approach and solve problems in every aspect of my life. I haven't even delved extensively into the principles yet, but I must say It's already worth my time. Very ingenius and I would recommend to anyone with a desire to improve their life, their relationships with their co-workers and family, and of course their ability to effectively and creatively solve problems.

Outstanding principles

This book rambles in places, and is poorly edited, and is often tedious to read. Nonetheless, in twenty years of reading in this area, the ideas in this book still stand out for me as the most powerful guide to breakthrough thinking that I've encountered. Despite the poor writing, this book is outstanding.

Insightful and valuable

Anybody who struggles to find creative ways to solve problems should read this book. For those of us who have to solve problems as part of collaborative efforts where consensus is important, the book should be mandatory reading.Pete Christensen, Controller Tohono O'odham Nation
