Chapter 6 explains how incentives work to shape behavior-and warns how they can backfire. Both of these chapters examine framing an issue as the first step to solving it.Ĭhapter 5 then describes the need to think like a child: keep your focus limited to small things, and don’t avoid obvious aspects that may be right in front of you. Along the same lines, Chapter 4 emphasizes the need to find and address root causes of an issue rather than merely its symptoms. A solution will always be elusive if the problem is defined incorrectly. Chapter 3 reviews the importance of properly defining problems and asking the right questions to solve them. It also examines why people keep making predictions when, time and again, they are wrong. So instead of using the same approach for their third book, they decided to teach readers how to think “like a Freak” themselves, revealing how to use their tools to approach problems.Ĭhapter 2 discusses why it is so difficult for people to admit they don’t know something, even though that’s the case much of the time. However, solving problems is not easy, especially not those problems that remain after many people have attempted to solve them. Their two previous books provided explanations to specific questions and problems, which prompted lots of questions from readers looking for solutions to new problems. In the first chapter the authors explain their purpose for writing this book.
