Art and Science of Problem Solving

Every business, career, and life is defined as much by the problems it encounters as by the opportunities it pursues. Bill Gibson's Art and Science of Problem Solving is a complete, systematic methodology for tackling any problem — at work or at home — with greater speed, creativity, and confidence. Unlike vague "positive thinking" approaches, Gibson gives you a structured framework comparable to Zig Ziglar's sales system or Roger Dawson's negotiation methodology, designed to permanently transform how you approach challenges.
