Summary:

Challenging problems both attract and repel us. They frustrate us, accelerate our pulses, cause ulcers and may even curtail our lifespans. But they also provide food for thought, sustaining our creativity and adding emotion and spice to the human experience. This book explores the nature of these challenging or difficult problems and the dimensions of creative behaviour demanded by such tasks.
