Jewish Method for Resolving Issues: The Outline of PotentiА́l Fixes

By Ross Lane

Jews are renowned for their innate ability to figure out how to escape sticky situations. They have a talent for getting out of situations that seem hopeless thanks to their lengthy history of persecution: when your back is against the wall, you learn to think quickly. Jews are adept at unravelling even the most complex puzzles because to centuries of reasoning and interpretation of the Holy Scriptures. Yiddish calls this perceptive method of thinking "yiddishe kop," which translates as "Jewish head."
The author demonstrates the fundamental ideas of this original way of thinking, which sees past outward appearances to the true nature of every issue, using Jewish comedy, folklore, and stories of legendary rabbis. Once these are learned, they can then be used to solve a variety of "impossible" problems that come up in both business and daily life.
The book focuses on four stages of problem-solving:

1. On the level of information, we respond to the obvious and the concrete by taking situations literally.
2. On the level of Understanding, we uncover information that is hidden by using strategies like questioning, rewording, and clearing the mind.
3. When we reach the degree of wisdom, we can enter the realm of intuition, where a "fool" can pull off the seemingly impossible by putting their trust in their gut instincts, dreams, and coincidences.
4. At the level of reverence, we uncover the Reality that lies veiled from view. This is the arena of risk-takers, commitment-takers, and mistake-learners who act from their lived experience rather than purely from reason and abstract thought.
