Synopsis

The pressures of the modern age have made problem solving an increasingly precarious and demanding function of man. Throughout our lives, we are forced to make important personal and professional decisions, where poorly considered solutions will be costly in dollars, happiness, or both.

We select a university and a professional career; we reach decisions about marriage and family life, about investments, where to live and what schools to send our children to. And in these spheres, as in many others, we make major decisions affecting our lives and others' for years to come.

In this exciting new book, Gary A. Davis clarifies the nature of human problem solving and creativity and describes reasonable principles for improving problem-solving and creative skills. Tracing approaches to creative problem solving as they have been developed by both industry and science, he demonstrates the new processes and techniques which man can use to improve his problem-solving ability.
