Episode notes

Effective problem solving requires working with the right problem representation. People often fail to solve problems not because the solution is impossible, but because they eliminate possible solutions in their mind. It is crucial to question assumptions and the way problems are framed to avoid getting stuck in dead ends. By identifying and challenging existing assumptions and problem representations, individuals can uncover innovative solutions to professional and personal challenges.
