- Book 2 of 2: Surviving to Solving
A toolkit for the life you're actually living — not the one you were promised.
You're not in crisis. You're just stuck. The money is okay but not enough. You have some friends but you're still lonely in the ways that matter. You keep starting things and not finishing them, or finishing things and not feeling what you thought you would feel. The gap between where you are and where you meant to be has become its own kind of exhaustion.
Most books in this territory promise transformation. This one doesn't. It offers something narrower and more honest: a way of seeing problems more clearly and working through them more deliberately. That's the whole offer.
Written by Christopher Fox as the follow-up to his first book on surviving a low place, Actionable Problem Solving picks up where survival ends and begins the harder work of actually living. It walks through a reliable method for breaking compound problems into their actual components, building the foundations that everything else rests on, and moving through difficulty one deliberate step at a time.
Across fifteen chapters, the book applies this method to the specific places problems actually live: earning money, learning skills, changing habits, making friends, starting businesses, writing books, handling failure, using technology, and living instead of spectating. Each chapter is anchored in specific personal failures — the wrong major chosen twice, the business started without the skills to run it, the years spent organized around avoidance — and extracts from them practices that transfer to other lives.
This is not a philosophy. It is not a therapy substitute. It is not a system that, once learned, makes problems disappear. What it is: a reliable way to see what's in front of you, understand where it came from, and make a more deliberate choice about what to do with it. A toolkit you can take into your actual life, imperfectly, starting now.
You'll find practices for:
- Breaking overwhelming problems into workable chains
- Replacing unexamined habits with chosen ones
- Increasing your earning capacity through deliberate skill development
- Building genuine friendships through consistent presence in the right environments
- Recognizing when a foundation needs attention before the building can hold
- Extracting useful information from failure without collapsing into shame
- Moving from spectating your own life to participating in it
Read it as a toolkit, not a scripture. Take what works. Leave what doesn't. Test it against your own life and let reality tell you what holds up.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
