I first found this book in 1974. I still have it. This book approaches problem solving and personal values within the framework of a travel guide. How do you get from HERE to THERE?
Well, how do you get to New York from Los Angeles? How do you determine that New York is even where you want to go in the first place?
Simple, without TELLING you what to decide, it SHOWS you how to decide for yourself.

A MUST BUY/MUST STUDY BOOK. I first found the Universal Traveler Creative Problem-Solving Guide in its 1976 edition and have kept it by my bed to review frequently since then. It is a special treasure of tips on getting organized mentally. It balances critical thinking with psychological factors superbly. This is a book to study, to cull and to keep at your side for a lifetime. I have bought it as a gift for very bright, deeply analytical friends, who universally share my opinion of it. It is the most thorough critical thinking and problem-solving book I've ever read. It starts at the VERY BEGINNING of your thought processes to analyze a problem, to set a goal and to reach solutions and goals. It presents reaching goals and problem-solving as a journey, and uses travel as the metaphorical presentation. I prefer the 1976, brown and tan edition published by William Kaufman, Inc., with its delightful, historical and turn-of-the-century pen sketches to the more modern, more structured, less playful 1991 edition.

I have been using this book since I began teaching design and the design process 16 years ago and LOVE IT! BUT, for some reason this version has removed a number of very helpful images and drawings. SO, I recommend ONLY the original Brown cover or the NEW UPDATED CLASSIC in BROWN cover.

Good book for motivating college students, but editions are similar enough not to warrant buying... Read more
