The obvious answer [State of the Art]

Using examples drawn from the book "Everything Is Obvious: Once You Know the Answer" by Duncan Watts, the author argues that knowing the answer ahead of the means to arrive at it is important when there are so many possible choices. With this in mind, we can all become better writers, teachers, speakers, and even life planners. The setting of long-term goals is, in some sense, knowing the tentative answers to a long process of achieving them. Knowing the answers ahead of the methods is also what makes the technique of teaching by starting with case studies so effective. Then, all that\´s needed is to figure out the choices to make to get to the goal.
