Summary: Great Writing, Great Ideas, Great Reading
Comment: I've read this book in a short couple of weeks and was so captured by it's ideas that I couldn't put it down. Everything is so real. As a scientist, engineer, (six sigma) master black belt, and research department manager, I found McCoy's insightful historical examples very meaningful and can't wait to apply the concepts to improve my own critical thinking skills. The tests and quizzes throughout the chapters on "Why didn't I..." were great entertainment, and a few kept me thinking for days for the solution. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to improve their grasp of facts!

Summary: Good Thinking
Comment: As a trial lawyer, my success depends on the quality of my thinking. Judge McCoy has tried lots of cases, and done lots of thinking. His engaging book enriched my thinking, and thus adds to my litigation arsenal. I am a Winston Churchill enthusiast, and I especially enjoyed the book's fresh insights into how Churchill, and many other great thinkers from Albert Einstein to Mahatma Gandhi, achieved the extraordinary successes we now admire. This book will help all its readers emerge as better thinkers in many ways -- clearer, more accurate perceptions of people and their motives; more focused concentration under pressure; a deeper appreciation of intuition and its vital contribution to sound thinking, to name a few. The insights on intuition were particularly inspiring. I enthusiastically recommend "Why Didn't I Think of That?" to people in all walks of life, from professionals to managers, teachers to students, homebuilders to homemakers, lawyers to, yes, even judges -- everyone who realizes the indispensability of top-quality thinking for achieving real success in today's highly competitive, fast-changing world.

Summary: Why don't I review that....
Comment: I really enjoyed this book. It's a publication that sits somewhere between the likes of Gelb, Buzan and co - nothing really taxing, no great epiphanies but some simple, experiental advice on how we can all avoid some of the most common thinking problems.
What I always enjoy is providing some solid examples of each type of thinking as an introduction to each theme. Mr McCoy does just that and they serve as solid real life examples (a blessed relief from 'out of the box' thinking puzzles.)
There aren't too many books on this topic that I find 'hard to put down.' But this one was close - fun, educational and stimulating. Bingo!
