The book Trial, Error, and Success, by Sima Dimitrijev and Maryann Karinch, is a non-fiction book that emphasises the need to use our human elements to solve problems. Decision making and providing solutions to problems are part of our everyday lives. Since we are in a technological era, most people tend to solve issues with scientific methods and generalised knowledge. However, it is no news that scientific models at certain times have proven to be incapable of solving these problems. The book provides solutions to these failures of science and generalised knowledge. It also provides methods that can be used as a better alternative. Find out about these solutions and methods by reading through the pages of this book.

The book contains some positive points. Firstly, I love that the book postulates a brilliant concept, which is the concept of finding alternatives to scientific methods in solving problems. It contains a lot of factual information that leaves the reader with excitement to try out the recommendations made in the book. I love that it didn't just point out the problems of science and generalised knowledge; it gave the solutions to prevent such issues and made recommendations on how to use them to obtain ideal results. I also love that the authors wrote the book in harmony such that there is no visible difference between the writings of the two authors.

However, on the negative side, I didn't quite appreciate the fact that most of the examples given in the book were scientific experiments. To a reader that is not scientifically inclined, some instances may appear strange or alien to him. He may not fully understand the authors' mind or grasp the lesson meant to be learnt from the book. Again, I felt that some examples gave unnecessary information that a reader might find boring or deviate from the primary reason for such an example.

The book was exceptionally well-edited. I found no spelling or grammatical errors in it. However, I rate the book 3 out of 4 stars. I do so because I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book. In a lot of pages, the authors gave real-life examples that we can relate to. I didn't give it a higher rating because the authors' writing style seemed ambiguous to a certain group of people.

I recommend this book to readers who wish to find a more practical approach to making important life decisions. The decision we make can either bring us success or failure. This book provides a guide to making better decisions and solving problems that may arise from the bad decisions we might have made in the past.

I think this book could've been titled better; one that reflects a little about the new aspect it brings to decision making. Lovely review!

This book may have some people that will not agree with its arguments.
I believe that Science will not give up on issues that defy solutions. Thus, we cannot reach a reasonable conclusion that Science will fail in such regards.
I believe Science has contributed a lot to the universe. Trial and error may not be appropriate when dealing with life.
This is a nice review from you.

I think using our minds to solve problems gives a better solution than using scientific methods. Great review!

I'm not certain there's so much relationship between the title and the content of the book. Science is indisputably getting better every day. The idea that scientific methods are erroneous isn't exactly a strong point. Thanks for the review
