Shows how we can become far better at solving real-world problems by learning creative puzzle-solving skills using simple, effective thinking techniques, such as how to ask good questions, how to fail and try again, how to change your mind, and more. Included are fun verbal and visual puzzles to use as practice. The goal is not to quickly solve each challenge but to come up with as many different ways of thinking about them as possible. As you see the puzzles in ever-greater depth, your mind will change, helping you to become a more imaginative and creative thinker in daily life.
