What's Your problem? No, really, what IS your Problem? The Sherlock Holmes Guide to Problem Identification
The Sherlock Holmes Guide to Problem Identification.
Have you ever tried to solve a problem and you simply “can’t” do it?
Doesn’t it drive you crazy?
You lose sleep, worry, and get frustrated and anxious because the problem really needs to be solved but you simply can’t figure out how to fix it ?
Do you sometimes feel like calling Sherlock Holmes?
What’s Your problem? (No really, what IS your problem?) helps you stop blindly trying to solve a problem when you don’t even know what it is.
Sherlock Homes doesn’t start to solve a case without knowing what the crime is. He identifies the actual crime then proceeds to solve the case (the problem).
You can’t solve a problem until you know what it is.
That sounds obvious but it’s not.
Many people fail to solve problems because they don’t know there is a first step in the process: problem identification.
Lots of times we think or feel we know what a particular problem is but when we try to fix it, it just doesn't work. We think hard but the problem remains. Are we slow or dumb?
NO, it’s because we can’t solve a problem until we name it.
Sherlock finds the real problem by dismissing all the wrong-headed ideas (from himself or others). He knows when his mind or emotions are playing tricks on him. He knows himself.
You will know yourself better too when you read this book!
The writer, Frank Daley, is the founder of Self-Knowledge College, a self-development company that helps people figure out what problems are keeping them from being personally and professionally successful. His book is
WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
The way to know yourself and get what you want.

What's Your Problem? does NOT teach problem solving (Sherlock teaches that)—it teaches the thing you have to know BEFORE you try to solve problems—the thing Sherlock does first: figures out what the real problem is.
What you think, or feel, or guess is the problem is not going to help you.
That’s the way we misidentify problems. (Then we wonder why we can’t solve them.)
It requires a new look at approaching problems but it won’t take long to learn and there are case studies and examples to speed things along.
Stop worrying, reduce frustration and get some sleep when you are trying to solve a personal problem (and often business problems too!). This book gives you a proven approach to, well, “see” and solve your problem!
This step-by-step guide to problem identification teaches:
•How to find emotional blocks that stop you from identifying the real problems
• How to “see” hidden psychological biases that prevent problem identification
•How to correct poor thinking habits that camouflage the real problems
What’s Your problem? (No really, what IS your problem?) shows you how to identify real problems, and to “spot” them before you try to fix phantom problems.
These are real-world approaches you can copy for identifying (and then seeing ways to solve) problems with your spouse, boss, friends, co-workers or family. This book will save you time, energy, stress, and maybe even money!
Stop wasting your days trying to solve the wrong problems.
If you could do this yourself, you would have done it by now.
Fortunately, you can solve that problem right now!
Be like Sherlock.

About the author
Frank Daley
18 books35 followersMy name is Frank Daley.
I’m an ex college and Univ. prof of English, theater, psychology, and communication. Acted as a Dean of Communications for years too. Former journalist and radio and TV writer, program creator, host, etc.
My non-fiction expertise and publishing is the self-dev field specializing in Self-Knowledge.
I have several short books on that subject on Amazon getting 4/5-star reviews. They have been unpromoted for some time. That's changing now.
I’ll have maybe 10 more coming in this series.
Those short books are sometimes taken from my much longer book WAY (Who Are You and What Are You Doing Here: The Way to Know Yourself and Get What you Want).
That book also has two workbooks, one for the general reader and one for at-risk students and their frantic parents.
My fiction so far consists of five short stories which I am using as lead generators for my start EM list for fiction.
Following that, I have a novella, Murder in Moscow: The Oblast Court Trial; and a historical adventure novel set in 1660 during the French/Indian wars. Think the Canadian Alamo.
I’m married, have two children, five grandchildren, and a small Golden Doodle named Gracie who looks like a Poodle but knows she’s a Retriever.
I live in Waterloo in southern Ontario. Ex-Toronto and Caledon.

This book was literal torture (no offence) I couldn't read it, however, I had to force myself to finish it and it didn't turn out great at all. I chose this book because I am a high fan of Sherlock Holmes but this book was nowhere near the science of deduction. I am extremely disappointed.

Ever have trouble figuring what’s really at the heart of a problem in your life? In “What’s Your Problem?” Frank Daley gives you all the tools you’ll need to sort out issues and clearly identify the source of problems—so you can solve them. Like many of Daley’s books, the material is ideal for folks who like to sharpen their self-knowledge skills. It’s a quick, enjoyable read, and filled with humor and valuable nuggets of information.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who’s looking for a new perspective on an everyday problem.
