Whether you\'re puzzle obsessed or puzzle hesitant, you\'ll walk away with real problem-solving strategies and pathways toward becoming a better thinker and decision maker--for these are certainly puzzling times.
Chock-full of unforgettable adventures and original examples from around the world--including new work by Greg Pliska, one of America\'s top puzzle-makers, and a hidden, super-challenging but solvable puzzle that will earn the first reader to crack it a $10,000 prize*-- The Puzzler will open readers\' eyes to the power of flexible thinking and concentration.
