Your wallet is gone.
You can't get out of bed.
The argument with your spouse won't end.
Sales are dropping.
You're stuck on whether to switch jobs.
Every day, we face a stream of problems-from small daily annoyances to major life decisions.
"Shrink the Problem" is a handbook that organizes the way of thinking required to handle all of them, in
plain, accessible English.
Starting from the seemingly trivial act of finding lost items, the book walks through how to identify the
real problem, how to find root causes, how to test hypotheses, how to use AI as a problem-solving partner,
and how to make life's biggest decisions-all across approximately 150,000 words and 59 chapters of
reference-style content.
▼ Part 1 - Why Can't We Find Lost Items?
Recall the purpose of last use, not the place last seen.
▼ Part 2 - The Art of Seeing the Problem Clearly
"What's bothering you" and "What you should solve" are not the same thing.
▼ Part 3 - Finding Causes and Building Hypotheses
Causes are rarely singular.
▼ Part 4 - Solving Everyday Troubles
People who can't search well take longer to solve problems.
▼ Part 5 - Workplace Problem-Solving Skills
KPI, PDCA, logic trees, MECE-explained in everyday language.
▼ Part 6 - Relationships and Organizational Problems
Logic alone won't move people.
▼ Part 7 - Investigation and Thinking in the AI Era
AI is not an answer machine; it's a tool for organizing problems.
▼ Part 8 - Making Life's Big Decisions Without Regret
Career change, independence, relocation-how to weigh the variables.
Recommended for:
- Anyone who freezes when problems arise
- People who know terms like PDCA and MECE but don't use them in daily life
- Those wanting a thinking framework that actually applies to real life
- Those facing major life decisions
- Anyone wanting to develop AI-era problem-solving skills
What makes this book different:
- Approximately 150,000 words across 59 chapters-a true reference handbook you'll return to
- Chapter titles map directly to the problems readers actually search for
- Plain prose; both linear reading and chapter-by-chapter dipping work naturally
Knowing the answer isn't the goal. Creating your own path when the answer isn't visible-this is what
"Shrink the Problem" means.
For everyday issues to life's pivotal decisions, this is the thinking handbook to keep at hand.
