What Sheldon Cooper Taught me About Problem Solving and Learning Effectively?
We all deal with problems every day.
Sometimes problem-solving is a breeze. The other times, more often than not, it’s frustrating.
Tell me, if you are familiar with this picture.
The eyes closed in concentration, the forehead creased with focused attention and your brain trying real hard to look for that breakthrough moment.
