How Smart People Think: Simple Frameworks for Better Business Decisions illustrates through real-world examples how individuals like Warren Buffett, Oprah Winfrey, and Jeff Bezos quickly solve problems and make decisions. They use mental frameworks, which are simple tools that assist in decision-making.

The book covers challenges such as

- Facing too many problems - use the Eisenhower matrix to identify what's urgent and important.

- Handling too many tasks during a crisis - use goal shedding, a technique Dick learned directly from Sully Sullenberger, the heroic pilot who landed the plane on the Hudson River-a flight he also experienced!

- Needing to think quickly - use the Navy SEALs framework of "Say three, pick one."

These mental structures help you think more efficiently and in less time.

You are using a mental framework right now. You have a mental picture of the book that can help you succeed. This is that book.
