This book has not aged well the internet has changed everything we though about the subject matter of this book. I also did not like the premise that the problem with problem solving is that we think to much about all the information we need to make decisions but the book is almost 500 pages. I did find a few useful ideas that I can use in my work since I have to talk about problem solving so much but over all I didn't find anything astounding in it and I felt it did not meet the objectives it set out for the book.

A bit to wordy and not connecting to my language. It took to long to get into content. It took a long time giving its credentials. There was some sections of help. I ended up skim reading the areas that looked helpful. One thing: when designing solutions keep in mind the solution-after-next. In other words how long will you solution last? Can you incorporate longer term help in the solution?
