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 Being a trainer of trainers, I see this as an excellent book, written with both professional and personal insights. Richard Gallo makes it easy for you to understand what many find to be a confusing concept. This book enables readers to see that problem solving is needed for human development, personal growth, and human progress. I highly recommend this book for anyone seriously interested in their future profession and planning strategies. -- Nelson Ngoh, University of Bridgeport
