But we also tend to focus on reacting rather than preventing, which costs us unnecessary time and money.Across business, politics, and society, bestselling author Dan Heath shows us that we have the capacity to solve some of our thorniest issues we just need to start to think about the system rather than the symptoms. Drawing on hundreds of new interviews with unconventional problem solvers, Heath shows the huge gains to be made when we stop dealing with symptoms and start to deliver practical solutions.
