A revolutionary way of communicating. Until I read this book, I never considered that we all listen differently and that by understanding each archetype's biases, I could learn to be a better communicator. It has changed the way I approach conversation.

Problem Solver is two tools in one. First, its framework of decision-making processes helps you understand, and thereby address, the blind spots in your process. Second, as shown through examples in the book, by applying the framework to peers' processes (personal or professional), you can more effectively communicate by providing information in the way they process it, thereby coming to better decisions.

Problem Solver is not just a book about how to make better decisions. It's a pathway to deeper self-knowledge. Discovering how we decide sheds light on the mystery of our cognition—what we listen for, what we credit, and what we dismiss. Understanding our hidden tendencies and biases is essential to living a more examined and rewarding life.

Problem Solver gets us focused on the one big skill that unlocks all the rest; the one self-assessment that sets the stage for every other choice we make about who we are and how we show up in the world; the one lens that sharpens our focus on every situation we face, no matter how challenging. It's impossible to read this and not feel like you're discovering something absolutely core to your happiness and success in life.
Tony Blair
This is a really interesting account of the process of decision-making and why, even if it's shaped in part by instinct honed by experience, there is no substitute for thoughtful analysis. However, Cheryl Strauss Einhorn also shows how that process can be conducted in a way that is conclusive and not merely analytical. The book succeeds in being informative and accessible!
