Summary

A handbook. Our biggest problem is one we don't know we have. We struggle to solve solvable problems. By solving them, we progress. When we choose not to solve them, we choose not to progress and suffer unnecessarily. Yet many solvable problems go unsolved. It's a choice we don't know we're making. It's our problem with problems. It's solvable too.

The Biggest Problem in the World by Ronald Balzan

Over half of the profit from the handbook's sale will go towards making it, its contents and related materials and information available to those who are otherwise unable to access them. A handbook. Our biggest problem is one we don't know we have. We all have problems we struggle to solve. Sometimes they're personal, like being overweight; sometimes they're bigger, like income inequality. Yet many of them are solvable, having been solved before, so to solve them is a choice. Only by solving problems do we progress, and to progress is to live. When we choose not to solve them, we choose not to progress. Suffering unnecessarily, we choose a lower quality of life and sometimes a shorter life instead. Sometimes we try to solve them-or we think we do. We invest money, time, energy and emotion. Despite our educations, intelligence, experience and expertise, however, many solvable problems go unsolved, regardless of the stakes; our investments, wasted. It's a choice we don't know we're making. It is our problem with problems, and it's solvable too.
Originally from Wisconsin, Ronald Balzan is a former New York-based finance and strategy executive now living in the UK and France. A natural student of human behavior and stickler for truth and quality, he returned to school in his late 40s to better understand why we fail to solve solvable problems regularly, regardless of the stakes. He holds master's degrees from the University of Cambridge (psychology and education, with distinction), the University of London (psychology), and the University of Rochester (finance and accounting) as well as bachelor's degrees from Southern Methodist University (finance and economics), Dallas. He suffers unnecessarily less and progresses more than he used to, and he hopes you will too. www.thebiggestproblemintheworld.org
