How to Solve All Your Problems: Or at Least Come to Terms with Them

In this book David helps us to understand the nature of problems. That is, what makes a problem a problem in the first place? He makes the case that problems are beneficial. They help us grow. He clarifies what all problems have in common and then derives from this commonalty a blueprint for solving all types of problems. He then applies these principles to solving some very specific and common problems all of us encounter in life. Since problems are inevitable, it is important that we both understand them and develop a sound strategy for solving them. As the great economist and public intellectual Thomas Sowell has pointed out many times, problems really don’t lead to solutions but tradeoffs. Everyone can benefit from reading this book more than once.
