Recommendation

Former CIA analyst Philip Mudd applies decades of analytical experience to help you parse problems more effectively. His stories about participating in high-stakes geopolitical decision making are fascinating. The lessons he learned and his candor about the mistakes he committed make his accounts especially useful. You can apply Mudd’s strategies to address problems in any field or adapt the individual stages of his decision making or analytical process to your needs. His writing is, well, a little muddy, but getAbstract recommends his intelligent approach to readers making major decisions, sorting through multiple choices or solving complex problems.

Take-Aways

  • To make better decisions and analyses, work within a methodical process.
  • To analyze a problem soundly, think backward. Start with the goal and audience in mind.
  • Ask the right questions. Questions determine how you think about a problem and what information you consider.
