SYNOPSIS: This is a unique kind of psychological self-help book. In it Dr. Flesch has summarized for the general reader the relation of scientific findings to thinking and problem solving. Drawing from psychology, linguistics, anthropology, and mathematics, he has produced an expert guide to clear and constructive thinking. The book is packed with useful suggestions, including shortcuts to mathematics, a system for speedy note-taking, and tips on how to solve puzzles and problems. Moreover, it is written with zest and enthusiasm, continually delving into such fascinating matters as strange coincidences, romantic love, the differences between wit and humor, and the thinking processes of children, pollsters, Eskimos, computers, mystery writers, jurors, chimpanzees, and executives. Dr. Rudolf Flesch, called by Time magazine the "Mr. Fix-It of writing," is the author of a number of well-known books in the communications field. Among them are Why Johnny Can't Read, The ABC of Style, The Art of Plain Talk, The Art of Readable Writing, and Say What You Mean. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.…
