Personal Development

Every decision tells a story—about who you are and how you shape your world.

But most of us never stop to think about how we make decisions. We call it instinct when really it’s a mix of habits, shortcuts, and hidden biases. The truth? We don’t see the world as it is—we see it as we are.

Problem Solver is your guide to understanding the way you decide—and how to do it better. Inside, you’ll discover five decision-making styles, called Problem Solver Profiles (PSPs): Adventurer, Detective, Listener, Thinker, and Visionary. You’ll learn:

Which profile fits you best—and what that means for your choices

How to spot other people’s styles and work with them effectively

Common blind spots that trip us up—and simple ways to avoid them

Tools to strengthen your decision-making confidence every day

Packed with real-life examples and easy strategies, Problem Solver will help you make better choices, feel more confident, and understand yourself in a whole new way.

Because the best decisions start with knowing yourself.

Find out your decision approach at app.areamethod.com.
