The classic work in this area is Polya's "How To Solve It"[0], but there are quite a lot of books and articles out there on problem and puzzle solving. What searches have you tried? What articles or books have you read? You can also try books of puzzles. Not things like Sudoku, but things like Martin Gardner. And don't just skim them, use them as a study resource ... try to understand the ideas and approaches being used in each puzzle. Without knowing you better it's hard to make more specific suggestions or recommendations. but like learning a language, getting better at problem solving will take time and deliberate effort.
