Synopsis
This book focuses attention on what we need to do as well as what to avoid in strengthening our natural problem-solving aptitudes. Including practical examples, brain-teasing drawings and anecdotes throughout, the authors build their framework on the IDEAL (identify, define, explore, act, look) model and show how potential problems both fit and are solved within this framework. The authors discuss such issues as learning new information, overcoming blocks to creativity and the importance of viewing problems from a variety of perspectives. They offer strategies for improving memory, for criticizing ideals and generating alternatives, and for communicating more effectively with a wider range of people. The text should provide useful advice to solving the myriad problems that confront and confuse people daily.

From the Author
Learn to tackle problems the IDEAL way
(taken from the back cover)
Identify, Define, Explore, Anticipate and Act, Look and Learn - that is the successful problem solving strategy developed and refined by psychologists John Bransford and Barry Stein.
This timely revision spells out the IDEAL framework in detail, demonstrating its effectiveness in tackling problems at school, at work, or at home. It incorporates a wealth of recent research on thinking and creativity and adds many new exercises, puzzles, brain teasers, and examples. Also included: a new chapter suggesting better ways to teach problem solving in schools and training programs.
The IDEAL Problem Solver will help you improve your memory, sharpen your critical thinking skills, generate creative solutions to problems, and communicate more effectively with a wider range of people. For students, teachers, and business people, for those who enjoy solving problems as well as those who dread facing them, it is the ideal blueprint for action.
