Week 2 - Approaches and the Problem Set Up: What I learned

 In week two, I learned more about problem-solving. I learned that assessing the problem from all angles and perspectives is important. I learned that having as much information as possible is essential to devise a hypothesis about the problem at hand. The learning resources this week were helpful. I utilized the problem-solving guide document (Walden University, 2014) for discussion posts A and B. I learned of the Attribution Theory this week and was reminded that correlation does not always equal causation (Goldin, R., 2015). I also enjoyed reading The Situation Is Hopeless, But Not Serious: The Pursuit of Unhappiness by Paul Watzlawick. I found chapters 1 - 5 interesting because each referenced different hypotheses for different life challenges.
