About this book

Make life's challenges your playground for genius thinking. Everyday problem solving packs critical thinking for teens, creative minds, and innovation at any age into a toolbox anyone can use. This book unlocks brain boosters, storytelling, and real-life tactics for quick decisions and smarter habits, at home, school, work, and everywhere in between. Discover easy strategies for creativity, research tips that spark curiosity, and playful intelligence tactics that boost personal development. Find wisdom from cognitive science and learn how creative thinking, fun mind hacks, and practical techniques can help you become smarter every day. In this clear, practical guide, you'll learn: •The four-step method for applying first principles to any challenge. •How to spot and dismantle hidden assumptions in your daily life. •Real-world case studies — from spacex rockets to netflix and toyota. •Tools that complement first principles: systems thinking, second-order consequences, inversion, and lateral thinking. •Exercises and templates to help you practice until this mindset becomes second nature. Perhaps you're someone who acts impulsively, or maybe you're often too quick to reply, and you sometimes look back at a conversation and wish you'd said something different. Or maybe you simply want to sharpen up your decision-making skills so that you can get ahead at work or improve your efficiency.
