Mahsin Mohamed –
We can all agree that problem solving skills are important to have. Some of us have an intuition for it, some have been taught and some learnt through past experiences. We therefore have an idea where to begin and maybe how it could go as we tackle them. My perception about solving problems changed completely after reading this well-written and carefully thought book. What was more fascinating, at least for me, was the fact that the author did not leave any stone unturned in giving his carefully thought tools with examples from influential people and how that could be applied to the readers´ challenging circumstances. In a nut shell, my confidence has grown and I would for the first time, know exactly where to begin when a problem arises and the next steps to be taken to solve it.
