Book Descriptions:

The
Jews are known for their intuitive genius in getting out of a pickle. With
their long history of persecution, they've developed a knack for escaping
seemingly hopeless predicaments: when your back is against the wall, you learn
to think fast. Centuries of reasoning and interpreting the Holy Scriptures have
also contributed to the Jews' skill in solving the most puzzling problems. This
astute way of thinking is known in Yiddish as
yiddishe
kop
,
literally "Jewish head."

Through
Jewish humor, folklore, and tales of the great rabbis, Rabbi Nilton Bonder
presents the basic principles of this creative approach to thinking, which sees
beyond appearances to the hidden truth of any problem. Once these are mastered,
they may in turn be applied to many "impossible" situations that
arise in business and in life.

The
book focuses on four levels of solving a problem:

1. On
   the level of
   Information,
   we approach problems literally, in response to the obvious and the concrete.
   
2. On
   the level of
   Understanding,
   we obtain concealed information through techniques such as questioning,
   reframing, and emptying the mind.
   
3. On
   the level of
   Wisdom,
   we access the world of intuition, where a "fool" can achieve the
   impossible by relying on feelings, premonitions, dreams, and coincidences.
   
4. On
   the level of
   Reverence,
   we discover the hidden Reality behind appearances. This is the realm of those
   who dare to take risks, make commitments, and learn from mistakes, who act out
   of their living experience without relying solely on reason and conceptual
   thinking.
