Making Up Your Own Mind: Thinking Effectively through Creative Puzzle-Solving

This book teaches creative puzzle-solving skills to improve real world problem solving. We solve problems daily, yet often struggle with simple decisions and optimal solutions. Can we learn to think more effectively and creatively? Author Edward Burger shows how in this enlightening book.

The book teaches techniques like asking good questions, failing and trying again, and changing your mind. It uses fun verbal and visual puzzles to practice these techniques. The goal isn’t quick solutions but multiple ways of thinking. As you deepen your understanding of the puzzles, your mind changes, making you more imaginative and creative. The book’s thought-provoking format challenges readers to see the world differently. One chapter is printed upside down, while another is in mirror image, further promoting new perspectives.
