We call it instinct when really it’s a mix of habits, shortcuts, and hidden biases. The truth? We don’t see the world as it is—we see it as we are. Problem Solver is your guide to understanding the way you decide—and how to do it better. Inside, you’ll discover five decision-making styles, called Problem Solver Profiles (PSPs): Adventurer, Detective, Listener, Thinker, and Visionary. You’ll learn: Which profile fits you best—and what that means for your choices How to spot other people’s styles and work with them effectively Common blind spots that trip us up—and simple ways to avoid them Tools to strengthen your decision-making confidence every day Packed with real-life examples and easy strategies, Problem Solver will help you make better choices, feel more confident, and understand yourself in a whole new way.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“The book succeeds in being informative and accessible.” Tony Blair, former prime minister of the United Kingdom
“Einhorn’s book makes for a delightful and informative read.” William Damon, author of The Path to Purpose
“Problem Solver helps us understand that who we are is a series of choices and that improving our decision-making can improve the quality of our lives.” Liz Landau, CFP and owner, Landau Advisory LLC
“Problem Solver gets us focused on the one big skill that unlocks all the rest…It’s impossible to read this and not feel like you’re discovering something absolutely core to your happiness and success in life.” Andrew Mangino, cofounder and CEO, the Future Project
“Until I read this book, I never considered that we all listen differently and that, by understanding each archetype’s biases, I could learn to be a better communicator. It has changed the way I approach conversation.” Van Hutcherson, managing director, Jones Trading
“Einhorn’s decision-making system helped me understand my own approach, both my strengths and my blind spots…[with] techniques that helped me counter my biases and strengthen my decision-making competency and confidence.” Adrienne Johnson, chief transformation officer and member of the Operating Committee, Equitable
Problem Solver is not just a book about how to make better decisions. It’s a pathway to deeper self-knowledge. Discovering how we decide sheds light on the mystery of our cognition—what we listen for, what we credit, and what we dismiss. Understanding our hidden tendencies and biases is essential to living a more examined and rewarding life.” David Bornstein, New York Times columnist; CEO, Solutions Journalism Network
Problem Solver allows each individual to develop a personal and customized framework for making better decisions…You will be able to minimize the adverse effects of common cognitive biases and fully exploit your strengths. And during this process, you may even be able to answer the question: Who am I?” Alok Kumar, Miami Herbert Business School, University of Miami
“Problem Solver is two tools in one. First, its framework of decision-making processes helps you understand, and thereby address, the blind spots in your process. Second, as shown through examples in the book, by applying the framework to peers’ processes (personal or professional), you can more effectively communicate by providing information in the way they process it, thereby coming to better decisions. Joshua Musher, COO, Arbiter Partners Capital Management
“Einhorn demystifies the act of decision-making with a practical and engaging set of tools that help decode the reader’s personal style and approach to working with others. Whether you are an experienced leader or just want to strengthen interpersonal relationships, this book is a terrific compass on your journey.” Eric Dawson, CEO, Rivet; cofounder, Peace First
