Graphics Appendix Please

Hi here's hoping the authors are reading this, as I've purchased the audiobook I'm unable to view the graphics/ logic trees referenced in the hardcopy - could you please create a downloadable pdf file? Audible offers downloadable pdfs for other titles however this one is yet to have one available for readers.. hope you can help..

without the PDF with charts the audio is useless..

the book really needs a PDF with the charts, frameworks and examples... I don't understand why it doesn't come with a simple PDF with that info

Needs Accompanying PDF

Like many others, book could have been great if it had an accompanying PDF. Also, wasn't a big fan of the narrators inflection and tone because it made it hard to determine when he was going to a different topic. This book could have been great, like really great and I'm sure the physical copy is much better (I hope) but this was poorly executed for the audible format.

No company PDF

This is a very visual book as they say in the book but there is no accompanying PDF with any kind of truth or diagrams that they try to describe it makes his book nearly impossible to understand and it makes me question the authors ability to problem solve is they didn’t foresee this and wondering how well this book really is for problem-solving very disappointed.

Include Graphic PDF Please

Listeners miss out on a huge portion of value that they paid for.
The content is great, and very convenient to listen to on the move.
I have a big problem when I want to go back and refer to the graphics mentioned.
The listeners miss out on a huge chunk of content without being able to view the logic trees.
And it's ridiculous to expect a listener to purchase the digital/physical version to get this... please can this be sorted out as soon as possible.

90% to long

The problem with this book, as is the problem with a lot of coaching / self help books is that they feel they need to be a certain length to be credible. This book just can’t seem to get to the point, that’s if it even knows what it is. So much extra garbage crammed in here to fill the book. If you want a great and succinct book on problem solving check out “stop guessing”.

Good book, bad for audiobook

The book has lots of graphs and pictures and the audiobook is difficult to follow without them. Not the best book to listen to.

alot to chew but still very helpful

very informative. natrarator was good. know that there are some heavy concepts here so bring your boots. feels as if they condensed a whole semester worth of information into one book

A must read, great examples and tools!

This is one of the highest impact books I’ve read. It has great structure, goes into enough depth- referencing sources if you want to dive deeper, has many examples, and simple yet robust tools...

Needs Graphic Links

I don’t understand how this book can be sold in audio format when it relies so heavily on visual graphics for which there seems no links or support.

Practice problem solving to gain superpowers

After listening to this audiobook, I see that problem solving is a skill that is very important and can be mastered just like any other skill with practice.
