Abstract
My Personal Review: The problems that face professionals (physicians, lawyers, architects) are rarely straightforward and clear. They are complex and lack right answers. Skillful professional practice often depends less on factual knowledge than on the ability to reflect before taking action. Yet most professional schools only teach theory and how to apply it to straightforward problems. Frankly, future professionals are being poorly equipped for the real world.
