Ken	Watanabe	Unique	Techniques	Full	of	helpful	diagrams	and	whimsical	drawings,	Problem	Solving	101	contains	a	complete	set	of	brain	training	tools	and	techniques	that	improve	problem	solving	skills	and	more.	decision	making,	which	allows	you	to	find	better	solutions	faster.	Problem	Solving	101	is	simple	enough	for	a	high	school
  student,	but	challenging	enough	that	leaders	can	apply	it	to	solve	their	toughest	problems.	She	has	helped	millions	of	people	around	the	world	find	effective	solutions	to	even	the	most	complex	problems.	Once	you	master	the	problem-solving	skills	in	this	book,	you'll	wonder	how	you	ever	got	by	without	them.	Although	Problem	Solving	101	was
  originally	written	for	Japanese	high	school	students,	it	has	become	popular	among	adults	as	well.	Ken	Watanabe	explains	critical	thinking	skills	in	simple	and	easy	to	understand	terms.	It	reminds	us	that	solving	problems	does	not	solve	them.be	complicated.	We	just	have	to	focus	on	the	basics.	Watanabe	notes	that	problem	solving	isn't	just	a	skill,	it's
  a	mindset.	We	need	to	stay	positive	and	focus	on	what	can	be	changed	instead	of	focusing	on	what	has	already	happened.	Kaizen	(continuous	improvement)	is	the	goal.	He	describes	solving	a	problem	as	a	four-step	process:	1.	Understand	the	current	situation	2.	Determine	the	root	cause	of	the	problem	3.	Develop	an	effective	plan	of	action	4.	Take
  action	until	the	problem	is	solved,	before	making	the	necessary	changes.	Audiobook	narrated	by	Alex	Smith.	Introduction.	Have	you	ever	encountered	a	problem	and	thought,	“Shouldn't	it	take	so	long	to	find	a	solution?”	Does	it	matter	if	it's	at	work,	in	your	personal	life,	or	at	work?	Crossword,	we've	all	been	there.	But	luckily,	improving	your
  problem-solving	skills	is	easier	than	you	think!	Throughout	this	roundup,	we'll	look	at	some	life	hacks	to	help	you	say	goodbye	to	that	frustrating	feeling	that	comes	when	you	know	there's	an	answer	but	can't	find	it.	.	In	the	next	few	chapters,	you'll	learn	how	to	break	down	the	troubleshooting	process	into	four	easy	steps,	along	with	some	helpful	tips
  like:	A	super	easy	first	step	to	solving	any	problem,	no	matter	how	serious	it	may	be.	Yes/No	Tree	How	to	Realize	Your	Biggest	Dream	Chapter	1:	Get	to	the	Point	of	Your	Problem	Have	you	ever	had	that	moment	when	you	feel	like	your	problem	is	so	insurmountable	that	you	just	can't	see	a	way	out?	Whether	it's	an	English	grammar	exercise	we	don't
  understand	or	the	tension	that	arises	when	we're	torn	between	two	friends,	we're	not	always	well-equipped	to	deal	with	the	problems	that	come	our	way,	and	the	resulting	confusion	can	be	stressful.	to	put	it	mildly.	But	that's	exactly	why	there	are	four	steps	to	solving	the	problem!	Because	with	these	simple	methods	you	can	solve	any	problem.	And	it
  beginsbreaking	down	the	problem	into	key	factors.	To	do	this,	you	need	to	better	understand	what	your	problem	really	is.	To	get	a	better	idea	of	​​how	this	will	look	in	practice,	let's	imagine	that	you	are	actually	fighting	poor	people.	grades	in	mathematics.	When	you	think	about	how	bad	you	are	doing,	it	may	seem	like	the	first	natural	course	of	action
  is	to	cancel	other	activities,	such	as	playing	on	the	school	soccer	team,	to	devote	more	time	to	studying	math.	.	But	depriving	yourself	of	the	activities	you	enjoy	may	not	be	the	answer!	Instead,	you	can	start	by	asking	which	categories	give	you	the	most	trouble.	For	example,	are	you	really	good	at	geometry,	but	good	at	algebra	and	fractions?	If	a
  closer	analysis	reveals	that	geometry	alone	lowers	your	score,	you	have	your	answer!	Instead	of	quitting	on	the	soccer	team,	rearrange	your	study	sessions	to	focus	on	the	area	you	struggle	with	the	most.	.	You	can	start	by	finding	out	which	aspect	of	geometry	confuses	you	the	most.	For	example,	do	you	have	a	hard	time	understanding	the
  Pythagorean	theorem,	or	is	it	really	hard	to	measure	the	area	of	​​a	trapezoid?	This	additional	analysis	will	help	you	pinpoint	the	bottleneck	so	you	can	solve	your	problem	more	effectively	and	efficiently.	Now	that	you've	identified	the	root	of	your	problem,	it's	time	to	move	on	to	the	next	step:	solving	it.	Chapter	2.	What	is	ultimately	causing	your
  problem?	By	getting	to	the	root	of	the	problem,	you	can	begin	to	understand	what	makes	it	a	problem.	In	other	words,	why	do	you	struggle	so	much	and	what	causes	it?	This	is	the	second	step	in	our	four-step	troubleshooting	method,	and	you	can	start	by	listing	all	the	possible	causes	that	come	to	mind.For	example,	let's	say	there	is	a	children's	group
  called	Apples	and	Oranges.	They	hold	monthly	concerts	at	the	local	elementary	school,	but	for	reasons	they	don't	understand,	no	one	attends.	To	solve	their	problem,	group	members	can	start	by	listing	all	possible	reasons.	For	example,	it	may	be	advertising;	maybe	they	didn't	advertise	well	enough	and	nobody	knows	about	the	concerts.	Or	maybe	it's
  a	matter	of	taste	differences;	It	may	be	that	their	target	market	doesn't	really	like	pop	music.	That's	a	good	start,	but	it	doesn't	give	you	definitive	conclusions.	To	find	solid	answers,	group	members	can	use	a	tool	called	a	yes/no	tree	to	help	them	test	their	hypotheses.	A	yes/no	tree	is	useful	because	it	allows	you	to	find	some	possible	answers	by
  asking	simple	yes	or	no	questions.	In	the	case	of	apples	and	oranges,	you	might	start	by	asking,	"Do	people	know	about	concerts	-	yes	or	no?"	If	you	have	reason	to	believe	the	answer	is	no,	do	it.	He	identified	a	major	problem:	the	problem	of	the	public.	But	if	the	answer	is	yes,	their	tree	will	start	to	branch	and	they	still	have	a	few	yes/no	questions	to
  answer.	These	questions	could	be	something	like,	"If	people	knew	about	the	concert,	would	they	actually	attend?"	If	not,	the	band	members	could	ask	why	and	hypothesize	that	maybe	it's	because	these	people	just	aren't	fans	their	music	are.	And	when	they	find	that	the	answer	is	yes,	they've	discovered	the	root	of	their	problem,	even	if	it's	a	little	sad.
  But	if	they	find	out	that	the	group	of	people	who	knew	about	the	concert	are	actually	fans,	then	they	have	to	answer	new	questions	like	"Why	did	more	people	come	to	the	first	concert	than	the	second?"	As	you	can	see,	yes/no	Tree	is	helpful	for	getting	to	the	bottom	of	your	problem	and	you	can	use	it	to	answer	as	many	new	questions	as	you	can	think
  of.	Chapter	3:	Brainstorming	aOnce	you've	completed	the	first	two	steps—identifying	your	problem	and	determining	why	it's	a	problem—you	can	move	on	to	our	third	step:	performing	a	thorough	analysis	to	help	you	find	the	best	solution.	You	can	start	by	asking	yourself	what	information	you	need	to	adequately	analyze	the	situation.	And	if	you	want	to
  think	about	what	that	would	look	like	in	practice,	we	can	go	back	to	the	example	of	apples	and	oranges.	In	an	attempt	to	analyze	the	problem	of	low	concert	attendance,	the	group	first	conducted	surveys	and	interviews	with	a	small	sample	of	students	at	their	school.	They	then	used	the	information	gathered	to	determine	where	they	needed	to	up	their
  promotional	game	and	motivate	their	members.	Once	the	information	is	collected	and	analyzed,	you	can	develop	possible	solutions.	In	the	case	of	apples	and	oranges,	that	meant	they	started	advertising	in	the	student	newspaper	and	via	email.	They	also	considered	options	such	as	paying	for	airtime	to	play	on	the	radio	and	play	in	classrooms.	They
  organized	their	possible	solutions	by	listing	them	in	a	table	divided	into	two	columns:	one	headed	"Does	it	raise	awareness?"	and	"Does	it	get	people	to	do	it?"	They	then	ranked	their	potential	solutions	into	these	columns	based	on	how	well	they	met	the	main	goal.	This	can	be	a	good	place	to	start	when	you	need	to	prioritize	different	options	and
  determine	how	well	they	fit	into	your	plan	of	action.	Apple	and	Oranges	have	decided	that	they	want	to	prioritize	solutions	that	are	efficient	and	easy	to	implement.	They	used	this	system	to	eliminate	ideas	that	did	not	fit	into	any	of	the	categories.	For	example,	their	idea	of	​​speaking	in	classrooms	sounded	great	on	the	one	hand	because	they	knew	it
  would	have	a	big	impact.	But	they	also	knew	that	reassembling	and	disassembling	the	devices	in	one	go	would	require	a	lot	of	effort,	time	and	energy.short	term.	However,	since	a	significant	percentage	of	students	indicated	that	they	listen	to	the	school	radio,	the	group	felt	that	the	most	effective	solution	would	be	for	the	radio	station	to	announce
  their	concerts	and	play	pre-release	songs,	as	this	would	be	easy	to	implement.	and	great	effect.	So	they	finally	decided	that	it	would	be	best	if	the	radio	announcements	were	part	of	their	specific	action	plan.	Chapter	4	Set	Small	Goals	to	Measure	Big	Dreams.	To	find	out	how	they	can	be	used	in	everyday	life,	let's	look	at	other	scenarios	where	we	can
  apply	these	problem-solving	skills	before	moving	on	to	the	fourth	and	final	step.	We'll	start	by	looking	at	some	examples	that	relate	to	our	dreams,	because	everyone	can	understand	them.	Whether	it's	our	childhood	dream	of	becoming	the	best	skater	or	astronaut	in	the	world,	or	the	more	realistic	ambition	of	getting	into	a	good	college,	we've	all	had
  dreams	at	some	point.	But	unfortunately,	they	are	often	rejected	because	we	consider	them	unrealistic	or	because	others	convince	us	that	we	are	not	good	enough	to	make	this	dream	a	reality.	Unfortunately,	in	such	cases,	our	dreams	remain	dreams	forever	because	we	never	take	the	next	step	and	act	on	it.	But	it	shouldn't	always	be	like	this!
  Instead,	you	can	learn	how	to	successfully	pursue	a	big	dream	by	breaking	it	down	into	smaller	goals.	It's	also	important	to	start	by	making	sure	your	goals	are	clear,	achievable,	and	set	one	at	a	time.	For	example,	consider	the	hypothetical	scenario	of	a	guy	named	Eric	who	dreams	of	making	big-budget	animated	movies	like	Frozen	or	Toy	Story	4.
  Unfortunately,	he	has	absolutely	no	computer	skills	in	animation,	and	that's	probably	because	he	doesn't	even	have	a	computer.	Eric	could	look	at	his	factsand	decides	that	because	of	them	he	will	never	achieve	his	dream.	But	that	would	be	a	mistake!	Because	instead,	he	can	break	down	that	huge,	seemingly	impossible	goal	into	a	smaller	first	goal:
  get	a	computer.	And	since	he	specifically	wants	a	$600	Apple	Computer	(and	wants	to	get	it	in	the	next	six	months	without	taking	out	a	loan),	his	goal	now	has	some	very	specific	parameters	to	work	with.	.	This	makes	him	a	lot	easier	to	actually	achieve!	So	if,	like	Eric,	you	define	your	small,	clear,	and	specific	goal,	you	can	work	on	how	to	achieve	that
  goal.	A	good	way	to	start	is	by	assessing	the	gap	between	your	current	situation	and	where	you	want	to	be.	In	Eric's	case,	that	meant	looking	at	his	finances	and	weighing	his	current	savings	and	earning	potential	against	his	goal	of	a	$600	computer.	After	doing	the	math,	he	came	to	the	conclusion	that	in	six	months	he	would	only	have	$352,	meaning
  the	difference	between	his	current	situation	and	his	goal	was	$248.	And	in	the	next	chapter,	we'll	see	how	Eric	can	bridge	that	gap,	and	you	can	too!	Chapter	5.	Turn	Your	Possible	Solutions	into	a	Realistic	Hypothesis	When	you	notice	a	hole	in	your	favorite	pair	of	jeans,	your	first	instinct	is	probably	to	patch	it,	right?	Just	as	you	can	use	a	needle	and
  thread	to	fill	a	gap	in	fabric,	you	can	use	a	list	of	possible	solutions	to	get	closer	to	your	dreams.	As	we	discussed	in	the	Apples	and	Oranges	example,	you	can	start	by	creating	a	list	of	possible	options	and	choosing	one	that	will	serve	as	the	hypothesis	for	your	final	solution.	In	Eric's	case,	those	ideas	could	include	things	like	saving	money,	asking	his
  boss	for	a	raise,	or	hoping	to	win	the	lottery.	But	only	some	of	them	are	real.	So	if	he	has	some	ideas	to	work	with,	he	can	create	a	logic	tree	that	is	very	similar	to	the	yes/no	tree	of	our	apples.Hired	oranges.	For	starters,	his	tree	might	have	two	branches,	one	for	ideas	to	cut	costs,	and	one	for	ideas	to	increase	revenue.	He	can	expand	on	these	two
  original	branches	to	develop	new,	more	specific	branches.	So	in	the	"Discounts"	section,	he	can	come	up	with	new	recommendations	that	describe	specific	practical	steps	to	determine	exactly	how	he	is	going	to	save	money.	For	example,	it	may	limit	weekly	purchases	such	as	video	games	or	takeout.	When	his	tree	is	ready,	he	can	prune	branches	that
  are	neither	reachable	nor	influential	(for	example,	in	the	hope	of	winning	the	lottery)	so	that	he	is	left	with	only	ideas	that	are	actually	feasible.	He	will	then	use	this	set	of	ideas	to	build	his	hypothesis:	he	can	achieve	his	goal	of	buying	a	$600	computer	in	six	months,	getting	a	higher-paying	job,	selling	some	of	his	video	games	and	DVDs,	and	cutting
  back	on	his	purchases.	Once	his	hypothesis	is	solidly	implemented,	Eric	can	test	it	by	moving	on	to	the	fourth	step:	creating	an	action	plan.	Chapter	6	Turn	Your	Hypothesis	into	an	Action	Plan	At	this	point,	you	have	identified	the	nature	of	your	problem.	,	I	figured	out	why	you	were	having	problems	with	this	and	hypothesized	how	to	solve	this
  problem.	You	are	now	ready	to	move	on	to	the	next	step:	take	action.	But	to	do	this	successfully,	you	must	first	analyze	your	hypothesis	to	determine	exactly	how	to	implement	it.	You	can	start	by	collecting	the	right	information.	For	example,	in	the	case	of	Eric	who	is	trying	to	make	more	money	by	selling	some	of	his	stuff,	he	might	start	by	looking	at
  the	retail	prices	for	each	of	his	games	and	DVDs	to	determine	how	much	he	can	sell	them	for.	He	can	also	calculate	his	weekly	expenses	by	looking	at	his	bank	statement	and	deducing,	for	example,	that	he	spent	$50	on	a	video	game,	$10	on	a	comic	book,	and	$5	on	candy	last	week.	He	could	then	evaluate	his	purchases	according	to	his	priorities	to
  determine	whether	those	purchases	need	to	be	reduced.him.	He	can	then	analyze	the	benefits	of	a	second	job	versus	the	potential	revenue	from	selling	his	video	games	to	see	what	would	be	more	profitable	and	feasible.	After	analyzing	all	of	this,	he	is	ready	for	the	fourth	step:	the	actual	implementation	of	his	plan.	By	following	all	the	steps	above,	you
  can	do	the	same!	Just	remember	two	things:	a	plan	is	worthless	if	you	don't	follow	it	(so	do	it	right!)	and	that	you	should	always	be	ready	to	adjust	it.	For	example,	if	Eric	tested	his	plan	and	found	he	couldn't	sell	his	DVDs,	he	would	have	to	adjust	his	plan	accordingly	and	see	if	he	could	find	an	alternative	source	of	income,	e.g.	B.	walking	the
  neighbor's	dog.	Maybe	not	what	he	envisioned,	but	his	newfound	problem-solving	skills	might	remind	him	that	even	if	he	failed,	he	could	adjust	his	plan	and	keep	trying	until	he	achieved	what	he	set	out	to	do.	And	the	same	goes	for	you!”	Chapter	7:	Conclusion	Everyone	has	problems.	Whether	it's	a	simple	math	equation	that	confuses	us	or	the
  struggle	to	resolve	an	important	life	decision,	problems	big	and	small	will	accompany	us	at	every	stage	of	life.	And	because	of	this,	it's	easy	to	get	overwhelmed	and	feel	like	the	answers	to	our	problems	are	always	out	of	reach.	But	nothing	could	be	further	from	the	truth!	By	simply	following	a	four-step	troubleshooting	method,	we	can	quickly	and
  easily	solve	any	problem	we	encounter.	All	you	need	to	do	is	do	some	focused	analysis	to	get	to	the	root	of	the	problem,	figure	out	why	you're	having	trouble,	and	figure	out	how	to	solve	it	using	a	yes/no	or	logic	tree.	These	tools	help	you	ask	the	right	questions	and	analyze	your	options	until	you	narrow	down	a	realistic	hypothesis	that	can	represent
  the	ultimate	solution.	From	there,	you	can	test	your	action	plan	by	understanding	itIf	you	fail,	those	are	just	unnecessary	hiccups	and	you	can	use	your	new	problem-solving	skills	to	figure	things	out.
