Transform your everyday life into a thrilling detective story with Elementary, My Dear: The Art of Deduction – For Fun, For Profit, For Real. In this practical guide, Carmen and Harold Laski strip away the mystique of Sherlock Holmes and hand you the tools to:

• Uncover hidden clues in conversations, contracts, and coffee shop messes
• Apply Bayes’ head-count method to separate true signals from false alarms
• Use mnemonic systems and memory-palace mapping to store and retrieve vital details
• Spot red herrings, avoid rabbit holes, and shortcut complex decisions
• Navigate office politics, personal finances, and social puzzles with confidence

Drawing on decades of clinical precision and emergency-room instinct, the Laskis show that deduction is not a talent reserved for TV sleuths—it’s a skill anyone can master. Each chapter is packed with vivid real-life examples, hands-on exercises, and memorable anecdotes that make learning entertaining and immediately useful.

Whether you’re tired of being blindsided by hidden fees, office drama, or that “too-good-to-be-true” deal, this book arms you with a clear, step-by-step framework for outthinking confusion at home, at work, and everywhere in between.
