The Thinker's Toolkit: Fourteen Powerful Techniques for Problem Solving
- Book Review,
by Morgan D. Jones


From Booklist
Leave it to a former CIA employee to conjure up a complicated yet definitely sensible approach to decision making. His point is that we don't know how to analyze and solve problems correctly, since we've been groomed to be subjective, not objective, thinkers. Fourteen mathematical and analytical thought processes are interpreted for the lay public, with 50 exercises and a cornucopia of examples. Some processes will be familiar, including playing devil's advocate, restating the problem, and outlining pros, cons, and fixes. Still others require a calculator and a highly logical mind--for instance, weighted ranking, probability tree, and utility matrix. Heavy-duty brain training. Barbara Jacobs
