In Question and Insight in Everyday Life: A Blueprint for Transformative Problem Solving, Richard Grallo examines the nature and patterns of human problem solving. Grallo identifies four patterns of problem solving that together result in complex human learning and growth. The four patterns constitute a cycle that is transformative not only of problematic situations but of the problem solvers themselves. The book also explores the roles of questions, insights, the desire to know, and social trust in problem solving. The book's conclusions apply equally to the problems of everyday life as well as to challenges that arise in educational, counseling, political, engineering, and science fields.
Richard Grallo is emeritus professor of human services at Metropolitan College of New York.

This book addresses problem-solving as a unique form of learning to address new situations that require adaptations in the cognitive, emotive, and performative realms. This is a timely and important topic, given the overwhelming global crises confronting humanity, such as the Covid-19 pandemic, climate change, and increasing violence that require individual and collective problem-solving. . . .This book will be of interest to scholars and learners in many disciplines. -- Donna J. Perry, University of Massachusetts Medical School
