Donald C. Gause

It's written in an amusing and easy-to-read way, but it meanders quite a bit from a central point/theme.

It hits lots of really interesting points/ideas/witticisms, and leaves you going "hmm" a few times, but it doesn't really give you, say, a systemic approach to problem-solving or problem-diagnosing. It has a few interesting guidelines, but I'd re-title it something like "Musings on problem solving and some lateral thinking stories".

A perfect lazy Sunday read! Well written with bite sized stories and distilled learnings from each lesson!

A helpful high-level look at the problems in problem-solving. Written in a wry style that was a little jarring to get used to but flowed very well.

Cult classic? Really? I think ALL the authors were on acid when this book was compiled The allegories are confusing, obscure. It is a very odd read, indeed.
