I had the priviledge of reading one of the drafts of Problem Solved: Simple Habits for Complex Decisions, and I knew even then that Sarah Ramsey had managed to distill a formula for success that so many people seem to miss, and that even successful people have trouble teaching to others.
As both a business leader and financial coach, I frequently encounter team members and clients who seem to be hindered from reaching their goals by something in their own minds that they can’t get past or by overwhelming problems that they can’t seem to solve. Sarah does an amazing job at illustrating what is happening in the minds of individuals who seem to get stuck on problems that others can navigate effectively. Whether it’s a gravity problem, spaghetti thinking, or one of the many other mental barriers that hold people back, Sarah not only helps the reader understand the nature of the barrier, but how to get around it as well. And she does all this in an engaging and entertaining way.
Problem Solved helps people do three things:
1. Get clear about the problems they are trying to solve.
2. Turn their thinking toward creative solutions.
3. Take action on the problems and solutions within their control.
In terms of style, Problem Solved follows a logical progression of strategies and concepts that build on each other and are intuitive in layout. Although the voice of the book is distinctly female (I had an interesting time imagining myself in a grass skirt and coconut bra as the book suggested), it is by no means intended solely for women. I would wager that almost anyone could benefit from the content in this book.
If you constantly feel beat down by life and feel like you can’t get ahead, you need this book. If you are a leader and you want to learn how to help your team focus on solutions instead of problems, you need this book. If you are a coach or a consultant and you want to better help your clients separate out their problems and address them one at a time, you need this book. For everyone else, you should read it too.

As an immigrant, entrepreneur and triplet mom I benefitted greatly from reading Problem Solved. Being ambitious has led me to achieve a lot in life, but at times with a price: burnout. Sarah brings such simple yet powerful steps and concepts to gain clarity in decision-making and enjoy life even through its challenges. Highly Recommend!

This book is a must read for anyone who struggles with problem solving...which is just about every human alive. Sarah's hilarious stories and straightforward examples will help you to untangle your messy, stressful problems into manageable solutions.

Ramsey takes complicated subjects and unravels them so your brain starts to make sense again. Now I have a clear method for making decisions. The care she has for hurting humans seeps out in every sentence and she is obsessed with creating amazing lives where we feel empowered and whole.

If you struggle with problem solving, or not even knowing where to start when life overwhelms you, this book is a must read. Sarah breaks down her brilliant problem solving method into easy to follow steps to help you figure anything out! I highly recommend this book!

Sarah shares really juicy nuggets that will support readers through everyday pebble in the shoe problems to mountain size problems at work and home. If you are dealing with a complainer at work or you want to move forward faster in your own life, then get Problem Solved and dig in! You’ll definitely gain practical tools with this gem!

Highly recommend. I tend to think of myself as someone who is good at making decisions and problem solving, but I apparently have a lot to learn!

Sarah's problem solving techniques have not only changed the way I think, but have caused me to move forward faster in my life. They help me bypass dwelling on things that do no more than waste time and instead, focus on things I can actively take steps to change. She has a way of "untangling" a myriad of thoughts that are all rolled up into what seems to be one paralyzing problem. Her techniques teach you how to break these thoughts down into simple, solvable problems, one at a time. This removes that overwhelming feeling, leaving you thinking clearly and feeling empowered instead. She's upbeat, honest, transparent, extremely intelligent and encouraging!

After decades of working with Fortune 500 companies throughout the world, there is no question more important than "What problem are you trying to solve?" In our fast paced world we can't afford to waste time solving the wrong problem. Especially in business when millions of dollars are at stake! Ramsey calls this "The Magic Question" and she clarifies how to use this question to get your business or life to the next level. Great read!

As a young author and PR professional, I feel like I'm constantly juggling so many things. Problem Solved: Simple Habits For Complex Decisions helped me get really clear on the most important priority! If we don't learn to focus on the most important thing, then we end up solving the wrong problem which leads to MORE problems. Thinking about brain boundaries as a self-care technique was also a game changer for me. They help me focus and not get stuck in analysis paralysis!

Ramsey really cares about people and it is easy to see that in her work. She spent years collecting people's common problems and breaking them down from spaghetti (tangled) to waffles (bite size). It’s like a cheat sheet for life because both personal and professional problems are all listed out. The frameworks in this book will help make your life easier!

What problem are you trying to solve? Stop and ask yourself. It sounds so simple; hence the title of this book. Learn the difference between spaghetti thinking and waffle thinking. Ramsey has a way with words, using humor and calm logical thinking. I was lucky to preview this book and will be recommending it to friends and family.

Decision making has always been so hard for me. I’m definitely someone who spends so much time wanting to make “the right decision”, that I just stall and make no decision at all. Problem Solved: Simple Habits for Complex Decisions was super helpful! It helps you break down decisions into simple steps so you don’t get stuck in overthinking. Which is EXACTLY what I needed.

As an entrepreneur I make thousands of decisions a day. Ramsey helps you figure out what problem you are really trying to solve so you spend your time on problems that move the needle of your business (and life) forward. Highly recommend this book!

Definitely a fall re-read for me. It’s way too easy to feel stuck sometimes—like I can’t find my way out of a box. But the structure in this book really speaks to me. It’s something I know works, and I need to keep putting it into practice. It’s grounding

I was able to read a preview of this book. I was excited to read it as Sarah’s other book was great and so helpful. As I expected, it is written in the perfect Sarah way of teaching and guiding while managing to be engaging and entertaining. The examples she gives make it so easy to grasp what she is saying.
Sarah has years of extensive research that readers are fortunate to have such easy access to.
It’s one of those books that you just want to keep reading over and over. Because it makes so much sense! Apply this to your life if you want things to be more smooth and less complicated!
