Of all the educational axis, this is the one that I find most problematic and most promising. There is a movement afoot to teach computational thinking across all majors. This movement gets painted with "programming" rather than "how to problem solve" which is really the point.

Here are some other books about thinking and problem solving that I've enjoyed over the years.
How to Solve it

Problem Solving, Decision Making, and Professional Judgement: A Guide for Lawyers and Policymakers

While the second may seem directed towards attorneys, I assure you, this book is outstanding for anyone who has to help with complex decision making.
