Breakthrough Thinking

The book you’ve shared is the international bestseller “Breakthrough Thinking” by Prof. Dr. Shozo Hibino and Prof. Gerald Nadler. Its Vietnamese title, “Tư Duy Đột Phá,” is a direct translation of this concept.

This book introduces a powerful and unconventional system for creative problem-solving. It challenges the traditional approach of exhaustively analyzing a problem. The authors argue that over-analyzing what’s wrong often limits your creativity and keeps you stuck in the past.

Instead, “Breakthrough Thinking” provides a forward-looking method built on Seven Principles. The core idea is to start by focusing on the purpose and envisioning the ideal “solution-after-next,” then working backward to create a practical solution for today. This purpose-driven approach helps you to:

• Avoid “analysis paralysis” by collecting only necessary information.
• Generate more innovative and effective solutions by not being constrained by the current problem.
• Involve people in the process to ensure solutions are practical and accepted.
• Build in a plan for continuous improvement from the very beginning.

It is a highly regarded guide for managers, engineers, innovators, and anyone who wants to move beyond simply fixing problems and start creating innovative futures.
